Anyone out there besides me that is going to kill that Orkin roach ...

TO "SHAME ON": we can still listen to it as well as it is removing louder. Do roaches revisit in pairs or armies? we can listen to them articulate in my kitchen. we am starting to take my pills as well as go to bed as well as hide. we will lapse tomorrow if they do not get me. DID we know roaches eat tellurian eyebrows? That is true, it is all protein for them.

Yes, and why must it continue to do it over and over again….once is bad enough! I guess it is doing what it was designed to do, make us take notice, but I just noticed and will remember that Orkin uses just plain annoying advertising, and that does not make me want to call them. I say we go to the store and buy something to fumigate it ourselves!! Or better yet, someone step on the thing and squash it! It will click, but only one more time ………..

I know exactly what you mean. That is one of THE most annoying damn things I’ve ever seen, or heard. I can’t shut off my speakers because I llike to listen to internet radio, and the animation is also annoying.

Timber Press Talks: DIY Landscape

Over the last few years they have already made a ton of improvements, but this summer they decided the time had come for the major DIY landscape. Plants are a little bit like crack to them, so they knew if they got started that this was going to be a full-on binge! They picked a weekend when there was a big plant sale, borrowed a truck from a friend, rented a tiller for the day, and went to town. Since the area right in front of the back door had turned into a major mud pit (and with two big dogs, that gets really old during our eight months of precipitation), they decided to put down a hardscape groundcover of gravel over about a third of the backyard space. And since there was a natural slope to the yard, they used a big island to separate the two levels. They rolled out the insanely carpet-like sod in the upper level of the yard, and they started planting--trees, succulents, ornamental grasses, and lots and lots of pretty flowers!
