Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Fuck, you guys.

I missed that comma and wondered what I missed.

It's all good, now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

We were given the ok to leave work early, but I am listening to a girl on guy podcast so I am now here alone. I did some onerous task of finding old explanation of benefits from health insurance to back up my FSA card swipes. Such a chore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.

Also I just had my weirdest thought of the week, while in the bathroom: If I were an office cleaner, I would only ever go to the bathroom in the other gender's room. Just for fun! Because you're in there alone, cleaning!

Ha! No, I got it. I just missed the comma the first time around.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've used hamster bedding in small muslin drawstring bags--and added in dried roses and lavender because more girly--for my lingerie drawers. And I tuck the bags among my mohair stuffed animals and hand-quilted coverlets, and hand-embroidered linen and cotton dresser scarves and tea towels.

This is a great idea, thanks Beverly. I have some of those cedar blocks but this sounds much more effective to me, plus replenishable.

Not fuck you guys! Just fuck. You guys.

Like Steph I misread at first, but then thought, "that doesn't sound like Jesse, except the 'fuck' part."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

hamster bedding in small muslin drawstring bags

That's brilliant.

We had food moths (not the same as clothes moths) in our pantry, and Tim put hamster bedding in an old pantyhose leg and tacked it up over the doorway inside the pantry. No more moths.

I'm less concerned about flappy moths than I am about the larvae. I mean, just typing the word "larvae" makes me want to burn the house down.

Anyone sending me queries at 3:45 on a Friday when I was working since 7:30 and did a couple hrs work last night should not expect me to get right on it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The word larvae has the same effect on me. I am the person who was shucking corn for a dinner for which the guests had already arrived and found a corn earworm. I screamed and refused to go back in the kitchen until someone else had dealt with the corn. So the larvae aspect was the worst part when we moved into the house before this and found it was infested with clothing moths.

They were finally defeated through a combination of washing or dry cleaning every natural fabric; putting clothes in plastic boxes and bags; and taking everything out of closets and then spraying the closets with insecticide.
