My style is 'pre-crisis hoarder'.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

My style is "Hey, that looks nice, and it kind of matches color-wise," but that's about it.
Also, these days, "smell of dog poop", sigh.

My style is "can it be washed if the cats throw up on it". I'm currently lusting after a beautiful blue and green silk throw for the living room, but it fails the style test. Alas.

My style is fairly minimalist with whatever style tends to go with Windsor chairs and the like.
In other news, does anyone have any advice regarding getting rid of yellowjacket nests? There are some that have set up shop in a hole in my lawn.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Two weird ones I'd heard recently:
1. Hang up a crumpled paper bag nearby. To a wasp, it looks much like another wasp's nest, and they don't like crowded living.
2. Apparently they dislike sliced cucumber, so scatter some of them around the lawn.
Or you could just pour soapy water into the nest at night when it's cooler. (Though I for one wouldn't try that without protective clothing.) Maybe safer would be to push an upside-down bowl into the ground, covering the hole, and leaving it there for two weeks. As long as you're sure you know where all the entrances are.

Thank you, BT. I can rig up some faux beekeeper garb and head out tomorrow morning with the pot o' water.
