H2O Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Can always tell there's not a lot going on in the weather department when the forum is this dead. Once the NOGAPS shows an EC cane it will get going again. July will be rockin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The good news is that this forum will always find a way to remind me of my brother's wedding anniversary. The bad news is that it will also remind me that I missed the Derecho because of his wedding. Any other weekend of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't know why I keep planting cucumbers. The deer just shred them every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't know why I keep planting cucumbers. The deer just shred them every year. Really? That's weird. They never touch mine. Get yourself some critter ridder pellets. You sprinkle them around the outside of your garden like a fence. They won't go near your garden.

It's harmless to animals, but works awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Chances that my 2 year old will get into them and rub them in her eyes? 95%? By definition, two-year-olds are critters, so I'm guessing she won't go near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As for cucumbers, we have a ton of chipmunks this year, and they've been destroying seedlings and some small transplants. Luckily, we don't have any deer that venture up into our neighborhood - they all stay in the woods that are about 100 yards away. I feel for the garden-type folks along those woods because deer would crush them. We also have rabbits here this year (first time my original-owner neighbor has seen them in the neighborhood since he moved in in 1972). We need a few more foxes to take care of that issue...

mappy Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 i gave up on the cucumbers. every seed i planted, the rabbits ate the sprouts, even when i tried to cover/protect them. my dogs aren't doing a good enough job chasing the rabbits out of the yard.

mappy Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Seriously. My daughter is past that stage - at 3.5 years old, she's just a hellion now! Oh good, glad it's not just mine. Does yours scold you, points her finger at you, tells you that you dont listen to HER, then stomps away all dramatically like the world is coming to an end?

mattie g Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Oh good, glad it's not just mine. Does yours scold you, points her finger at you, tells you that you dont listen to HER, then stomps away all dramatically like the world is coming to an end? Pretty much! She likes to scrunch her face up and scold us, but a lot of times she's just playing. If she starts really acting up and trying to exert herself, then I just lay down the law and tell her that I make the rules and she has to follow them. She tries to protest, but she eventually relents! The big thing she does right now when she's being pissy is say "I. Don't. Love. YOU!" or "I love Mama/Dada more than you." The other day, I said "Fine, then I don't love you either." Mean as hell, but it worked. She quickly ran over and said "I love you" really loud and gave me a big hug (so I said it back). She is definitely a drama queen, though. She sometimes gets herself all worked up because she starts believing drama that she creates - that's just a disaster to get her to calm down because she's convinced of that drama, and there's almost so rationalizing with her!

Really kind of hilarious, and takes a lot for us not to laugh at her when she does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This is what I get. My kids swim and when they are in a meet I will inevitably get from one of them "who are you going to root more loudly for, me or my sister?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So my PWS says I've gotten 10" of rain today, but zero wind. Probably not at all coincidental that I replaced the batteries in it today. I'm thinking I plugged the wind/rain cables in backwards, oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
