assholes are incredibly adept and finding people they can take advantage of.
incredibly adept. that is their superpower.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish that _my_ superpower was the ability to touch their hearts and make them different.
At this point, I'd settle for collision avoidance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
le n is right. And I hear you, bonny, but all you can do is live as you believe, and leave them to figure their shit out. I talked with a friend today whose house was broken into by a (former) friend and friend's husband. They deny it despite not having been very bright about things.
Sadly, my incipient headache is not low blood sugar, but a migraine coming on. I must have slept wrong during my nap.

Seriously?
At least my friends are simple jerks...not so much criminals. How awful for those folks.

Dear dishwasher instructions:
"Open junction box" is a cruel joke, right?
I heard some scrabbling behind the (defunct) dishwasher and pulled out the dishwasher to find at least one way they're getting in. I need to get the dishwasher out to seal the hole. I got the hoses off fine, but to disconnect the electrical line, I have to get inside the damn junction box.
I have set two snap traps and put out ant bait.
I am not happy.

Ginger, ants inside are awful. My sympathies.

I get ants multiple times per year. It's the worst. Right up there with the termite swarms. Termite sex all over my kitchen floor. PARtay.
When I figure out where the ants are coming in, I create a barrier with Dawn and cinnamon. The last few times, it's really worked.

I am handicapped in tracking ants in the kitchen by my black counter tops. The ants really obvious when they're covering the inside of yesterday's cereal bowl, though.

Egad.
Until this very second, I had always thought that black counter tops were super cool.
Ugh.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yeah, we get brown ants - on our brown variegated "granite" counters. Tricky. In addition to trying to seal up everything I can find, I've also had decent luck with the ant-bait things. I also have a little bit of a Jillifont problem, so that was amusing when the two came head-to-head (jillions of little ant-corpses by my bathroom baseboards. Shudder.)
Good luck, Ginger.
