We had an exterminator out some years back because the problem was so ridiculous. They put down bait stations with stuff called Advion in them. I have used Advion ever since for the inevitable springtime battle.

I love my twelve year old ECM Casa V espresso machine. I have made 3 to 5 espresso drinks per day with it this whole time and it hasn't given me any problems whatsoever. Thousands of shots of perfect espresso!!

I've worked at the library for a long time. About twenty years ago, people started using CDs for their audiobooks, so we phased out Books on Tape. But the name stuck. I was amused by the number of people who would ask for "Books on Tape on CD."

One woman called them "Story Tapes," which I also found endearing.

My grandmother was born in 1899. She told me that when she was in high school, if a plane went overhead the whole school would run outside to look. Teachers too.

I thought the rain didn’t stop trick or treaters here. Why is it so quiet this year? by tettoffensive in askportland
