I've had to use hardware cloth on the bottoms of all my raised beds and around my fruit tree root balls when planting because of horrible gopher problems. Turns out I now know at least ONE person who claims total success with a gopher repellent she used on both her lawn and garden: GOPHER-GO...

We're on a roll here, so one more and I'll call it a night:

Speaking of that era...

Ha, ha! Outstanding! This Sixties child picked right up on that. Is it yours?

Without in any way being facetious, I can understand why many parents choose to home-school. How utterly unbelievable to kiss your child goodbye in the morning and say, "Have a good day, dear," and then find out you sent him/her to a school shooting to get injured or killed. I can't wrap my...

I'm sorry but your wonderfully sensible solution wouldn't make sense to a politician when he has a wet finger in the air, testing which way the wind is blowing. I had layovers in New York dozens of times over the course of my stewardess career (when they used to call them that) and remember...

Not that I would plan to ride my electric bike on the streets (wouldn't feel safe to do so), but I do sympathize with municipalities wrestling with how to regulate their use. In New York, delivery couriers lane-splitting and darting in and out of traffic are angering drivers and pedestrians...

Chic, that was great! Looks like Ryan Gosling.

Some more examples of CROCHET GONE BAD: I'd like to hope NOBODY actually crocheted these things to be taken seriously.

And just a refresher on some of the many creative ways to reuse these containers:

Yes, hubby showed the picture to his carpenter friend and he said the same. We told him to go for it, forget the carpet, and use whatever scrap lumber he has laying around, as long as it's not particle board. One of my cats adores enclosed spaces so the little house is for him. The other one...

One of these, right? (I'm trying to picture a guy actually agreeing to model these, much less actually wear them.)

I made the mistake recently of checking some price tags on cat condos and trees both online and through pet stores and GET REAL! The cheapest one I liked was $110 and they ranged up to $250! :ep Being owned by two rescue kitties who are the light of my life, I am of course a sucker for...

Thought I'd share some pix of these handsome little birds: I forgot to mention one of the reasons we are going for bantams this time is to reduce feed costs and cut down on the mess -- smaller birds = less outlay. If I get even 15 pullets out of the 30 I plan to order, that's a dozen...

We had barnyard mix bantams growing up on the farm and, as kids, my brothers and I loved how gentle and tameable they were as pets. The hens would go broody regularly and were good mothers, even to the ducklings we sometimes let them hatch, too. They laid smaller eggs but consistently and were...

Yes, that's a scary thought for anyone who tries to keep prepared for emergencies, that even your neighbors and friends and FAMILY will expect and demand what they need from you, if they know or suspect you have it. Which is why I have pints of water and packages of Ramen to sadly pass out to...
