We have been busy and sick and holidaying (is that a word? It is now.) and schooling. Way too busy to blog, but the good news is: I got a digital camera for Christmas! Well, manoftheplace and I bought it for each other. Do you ever do those kinds of things for gift giving with your spouse? You know, you want something specific but don't "need" it... so the holiday becomes the excuse for buying it? We do this all the time.
Hey... we have had a serious ant problem on our island in our kitchen. They aren't IN the island, rather they come out of the half wall on the back of the island and creep onto the countertop. SICK. I have tried every product at our local superstore, every remedy, every grandma's potion. nothing. The smarties are still coming all the time.
A friend recommended a product only available at our local hardware store. She promises it will work. If it doesn't we're tearing out the island, sealing up the foundation, and reinstalling it. Desperate situations call for desperate measures.
So, I had to laugh out loud like a crazy woman at the hardware store. I was reading the back panel of the Terro Ant Killer. Here is what it says:
ATTRACTS AND KILLS ALL COMMON HOUSEHOLD ANTS INCLUDING:
Argentine ants, Ghost ants, Cornfield ants, Pavement ants, Acrobat ants, White footed ants, Little black ants, Odorous house ants, Crazy ants, Big headed ants, and other sweet eating ants.
LOL!!!
Acrobat ants??? Did they leave their friends, the fleas, at the circus and join a colony??
Excuse me... CRAZY ants? (shouldn't that be spelled Crazy Aunts?)
Also, aren't ALL ants "Little black ants", or was this added for the ego protection of the Ant Novice in pretending it's an actual species?
How did they know their feet were white? In fact, how would I know their feet were white?
Odorous ants... who smelled them, and how did they keep the ant from flying up their nostril?
Big headed ants versus what, Big butted ants?
And, in case they actually die and come back to haunt you... GHOST ants.
GOTTA love it. |
