If you're taking both aspirin and ibuprofein for a painful tooth, do any of you GOBs know what's a good thing to do about shielding the tummy from those painkillers? Sarv, hope you didn't try that aspirin remedy on top of the ibuprofein - I should have asked you first if you were trying anything else for the pain before I talked you into putting an aspirin pill on the sore spot.

Have been under the weather a lot - very sorry I couldn't be with you and Dravencat, Molly, when you came to Baltimore. Would have liked to have met you.

M5, I was thinking as I read about your tango with horsetail about its ancient fossils that predate that event at the end of the Cretaceous (?65 million years ago - off top of head) that is thought to have killed off the dinosaurs and so many other life forms along with them - but not the horsetail (Equisetum arvense). Horsetails not only enjoy a good wollop, they also love to be cut into little itty bitty pieces, because then they get to reproduce themselves with each piece. The following link confirms rototilling as a nono in this case, but says smothering helps and names a specific pesticide - albeit tentatively: http://www.thegardenhelper.com/horsetail.htm

Darius, I can only be with you in spirit. Hope you are listening to your creek and healing in September chiaroscuro of the woods nearby.

Am doing a penguin dance (imaginary) - DH has made a screen door - better squeeter control and prerequisite to bringing home two adopted puttycats Tuesday evening. The vet who kept our last 3 cats comfortable through their end-of-life illnesses over the past year also rescues cats - abandoned, mistreated, wild - on a nonprofit basis with local volunteers. Wonderful group of people. You have to sign a form promising to keep them indoors - period. So we've been making some changes around here. We've been screened ourselves as to whether we would be worthy of adopting any of her kitties - all of us, cats and humans, perused for personality chemistry. They have all their shots, spayed/neutered, and we might get assistance with their future medical care.

Robert - crooks are like woodchucks aren't they? Just magically appear given tasty enough bait. But they have the ability to know better and to care about others. Aria, was it you who said once they were innocent newborns? Where does it go?

Welcome diggingit, ViolaAnn and fireant13 to GOBs. We have our tootsies in soil and the rest of us is pretty far-ranging.
