I want someone to come do that to my bedroom closet.<br /><br />Of course there are roaches, or Palmetto Bugs as they were known in Miami, flying mouse-sized cockroaches that live a thousand years without water and would outlast a nuclear holocaust. Roaches are eternal. They've been around so long through so much that you can't even date a rock by the fossilized remains.<br /><br />But if you're ever invaded by the German cockroaches, here's what you do--invite some geckos in. They'll live behind your picture-frames on the walls in the daytime and roam the house at night devouring ants and German roaches. Elegant, economic and green. And you know how I know this.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-75384573193289465062011-07-07T11:08:03.687-04:002011-07-07T11:08:03.687-04:00HATE roaches.

I'm not sure why saving yogurt and butter containers compelled me to do it today but it did. I save them too. They are great to send leftovers with people. They are also great for squeezing paint into for my kids art and for Easter egg dye. I do have a problem with lids that have no matching bowls and bowls with no matching lids. Pisses me off when I'm looking for one and I find just the right bowl and can't use it because there's no lid. Makes me want to clean my cupboard out right now. Anyway just wanted to share. Thanks for writing your blog. I love to read it!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191171515811907698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-47919892193609956092011-07-06T19:30:32.669-04:002011-07-06T19:30:32.669-04:00You know what containers I really like?

And there must be something in the air today because this is exactly the project I'm embarking on at the moment (and by that I clearly mean I'm avoiding the mess on the kitchen floor made by cleaning by reading blogs on the interwebs. Sigh.) Maybe one can only do these things when it is unbearably hot in the house? And o, terror: every drawer in my house is a junk drawer. Open any damn one of them and you'll find: a toothbrush, a spoon, change, a tampon, an old bill from the city, a knife, underpants, a hairbrush, ETCETERA.Ramona Quimbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308882206677929003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-85869472232659372072011-07-06T18:42:06.961-04:002011-07-06T18:42:06.961-04:00Are you ready to smack me if I say "my grandm...Are you ready to smack me if I say "my grandma..." again?
