  1. Look behind that rubber thing at the bottom of the machine behind the door.  Lint and stuff accumulates there. I can't say I've ever had a problem with odor. Hope it stays that way.

    I lost FIVE $20 bills in that rubber thing! I searched this whole house, all 3 vehicles, etc. and though and behold, several months later I found the rubber thing and 3 of the bills in decent enough shape to still use.

  2. That's why I like Millionaire's Row in Williamsport. They have saved a lot of the older, nice homes.

     

    In the late 1880's, Williamsport had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the United States. That was due to the lumber boom.

  3. I know nothing of this particular cemetery, nor do I know anything about how any other cemetery works. Aren't they supposed to be kept up like the one coming into town from TL? I see the lawn being cut there all the time.

     

    Like I said, I haven't had to deal with cemeteries yet so maybe there are different kinds that do not do the up keep. All the ones that I have been to where my grandparents and great-grandparents have been buried, are kept up by the workers.

     

    What do you guys expect Foxfan to do? Just weed and cut the grass around his great-grandparents two graves?  :-/

  4. I just had to look it up!

     

    Pregnancy women can become infected with a disease called Toxoplasmosis. This disease can be contracted from the feces of cats. If a human gets that infective form into the mouth, and swallows it, (or breathes it in in dust and swallows it) then they can be infected.

     

    It takes 48 hours for the the cat feces to become "active" -- so new cat poop isn't infective.

     

    If your cat happens to be infected and shedding, and you have never been infected, and you happen to be pregnant (but only during a specific time of pregnancy, not the entire 9 months) then your baby "might" be infected and "might" be damaged by that infection -- it is rare but it can be devastating.

     

    You are more likely to get the infection from undercooked meat, not from your cat!

     

    This is why it is recommended that pregnant women not scoop cat litter.

  5.  

    Yeah of course, shooting it is always the easiest way.... just turn a blind eye when the little girl next door bawls her eyes out at the bloodied mess that was once her beloved little kitty!

     

    I may be a little ignorant here, but apart from the ammonia that is in cat pee that might be a little offensive on the nose, whats in cat poop to hurt a pregnant woman and her unborn child?[/quote]

     

    Not sure, but it made me have to clean litter boxes on two separate occasions a lot more than I wanted to!

  6. After the first "All You Can Buffet" of hostas, they grew back. I have been spraying them with Liquid Fence religiously.

     

    Well after all the rain the past 2-3 days, it must have washed off. This morning when I left for work, all hostas were in tact. When I got home this afternoon, the STUPID deer ate them AGAIN.

     

    Does anybody know of a way to booby-trap the hostas? I'm thinking a motion sensor and a super high pressure water hose or maybe an electric shock (kind of like an electric fence). Something just to give them the hint to stay away!!!

  7. Semi-tame? The last time my husband was there a deer stuck his head in the window of his car...a duck sat next to him on his tools..not so sure about the "semi" :)

    The deer stand and watch me mow the lawn! They are only like 5 yards away. Anywhere else, they would be DINNER on the table.

     

    The only timid deer in here are the fawns. I guess the Mother Deer haven't taught them to calm down yet!
