Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I think it's your doing, Jesse!
Untrue! I never had a sore throat.
But I am sorry for yours.
Guys, why are the McDonald's filet-o-fish commercials around Lent SO AWESOME? I love the one in the submarine. It makes me laugh every time.
ION, I got 3 inches of hair cut off today and it STILL hits my shoulders. Madness!
Pictures, Steph!
Untrue! I never had a sore throat.
I should probably blame it on the suddenly!spring weather. On the other hand, 85% of the snow is melted, which is awesome.
Lee, I have a rain barrel.
What kind do you have? That sounds pretty much like how I am going to use it.

Ditto! And my mother thinks I'm a genius for pointing out that they pop up at Lent.
I actually kind of like a filet-o-fish once in a while. The sandwich, not just the commercial.
For no real reason, rain barrels always make me think of the itsy bitsy spider.
Because she went up the water spout? I always pictured a rain spout.
Did you wonder, for just a second, if the Doctor was finally coming for you?
I did. And then I thought I'd better get in shape for all that running away.
I have done the mosquito rings, though I stopped when I had bees. If I see larvae in my pond I'll toss a quarter of one in, they seem to be quite effective. In a barrel, you could also do mosquito fish. Check with your local vector control/mosquito abatement department, you might be able to get some for free. And then they might get eaten by racoons. The circle of life.
What kind do you have?
That is a good question. I will have to do some research to figure that out. I bet I kept an electronic receipt somewhere... the not specific brand answer is green plastic with a mesh cover and optional hookups so you can have several barrels in series.
Or I could just search gmail (that was easy). It's this one [link]
