i have slugs

Hmmm...does grease really keep the slugs from crawling up??? :-) May have to do an experiment and find out!

Ahh Jim, Judgement Day. Do you believe it's true? I just had to ask;-)

Rachel

so if we grease our plants the slugs won't climb them.......
ok tell us about Judgment Day (which is reminding me of The Terminator).

Yep! I Believe in a Judgment Day. Believe everything in the Bible from "in the beginning to the final amen."

It must be true about the grease because I have never hat a slug crawl up my leg. Course I have never had a fly to light successfully on my head either. Had a few to try but they slipped and broke their wings.

AND the four horsemen! I just watched "Horsemen" and it was creepy!

Me too Jim!

Chezca, is "horsemen" a flick out or what? I am not a T.V. or movie flick person;-) But I am a horsewoman....in real life.

Rachel

Judgment Day is nothing like Terminator. The Bible tells us there are two judgments: 1. The Bema where the works of the Believers will be judged. Not their sins, the sins have already been paid for on the Cross by Jesus. 2. In Revelations it tells us that there will be a final judgment for non- believers. They will be judged out of books with the final book being the Book of Life. This is there response to the invitation to come to Jesus for forgiveness and excepted the sacrifice He made for them on the Cross. If they rejected the invitation they are cast in the "Lake of Fire." In answer to the next question, " I can't believe a loving God would cast some into Hell." I don't believe that either. A loving God made a way of escape by sending His Son to pay our sin debt. If one winds up in that terrible place it is his or her own fault.

Well shucks, you guys asked. I'm not trying to preach to you.

Is It OK to kill slugs? If not I'm going down man!

Hey guys, I don't mind sharing what I believe. Any place or any time. I wouldn't like it if someone turned this forum into a political arena and I imagine there are some that won't like us talking about spiritual issues. Notice I didn't say Religious. Don't like that word. Do much bad stuff has been done in the name of Religion. So if you have a question of this sort, you would like me to try to answer, fill free to D-Mail me.

You can add all you want too, but I have to add, my up-bringing is "Listen to God" and he will show you the way to repent from sin forever.

In my mind and way of thinking.....it's all between an individual and the Almighty God ! A human has a choice while here on earth. Choose wisely;-)

Rachel

Hey man, squash them buggers. Zap them aphids. Poison them stink bugs. Love you neighbor and laugh at your self occasionly. If your like me, others are laughing at you. Don't bother me a tall I just join in the fun. Hey man, life on this earth is short, make the best of it.

Right on Rachael, it is strickly personal. It is a personal relationship.

Right on Jim. Now how about that movie that Chezca was speaking of.........???

Heck I might like it.

I know about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse but I don't know about a movie. Come on Chezca, be an obedient granddaughter and fill me in.

Hey guys, anyone up this late? Who talked about spiders on the ceiling and their sisters NOT being freaked out by that??? Can't remember if it was chezka, Lynnie or Jim. I think it was you Jim, correct? Gosh, weren't they afraid they drop into their hair (or worse places) while they were sleeping?? EEK!

And I have to add my 2cents worth about the judgement too, well about Hell really. Right on Jim, God certainly would NOT cast anyone into Hell! Hell was created for rebellious angels NOT for man. God never intended for one person to go there but as by one man ALL have sinned, by ONE man all can be saved. That's how good and loving God truely is!

My hubby & I went several places today after church, to visit my precious mother in the nursing home (last stages Alzheimer's Disease for the last 6 years), then to eat, then to the store and then headed home. We stopped so I could take some photos of a farm and the country side AND the sky. The day was beautiful but the sky was the MOST BEAUTIFUL I've seen it ever! There were so many ‘Jesus Clouds’. Oh…. that’s what I call those huge very fluffy, puffy ones that sort of billow up, get bright white and have those sort of ‘caves’ in them. I always picture Him riding his white horse in all His glory on just those types of clouds! I think they’re called cumulous clouds. I'm uploading a photo so I can share it with all you guys. I didn't do any adjusting to it, it's just as it was taken.

Later, Jo ;o)

Oh, yeah about the guy who made those angry posts (Terry?). I didn't see his posts but he's probably what's called a 'flamer' or something like that. There are people who go from forum to forum JUST to say provocative things to rile people up in the hopes of getting them to get into an argument with them. Sad that there are people so lacking in joy that they have a need to purposely draw others into confrontation(s) with them so that they can get their jollies.

Darn, meant to upload another photo with that last post. Well, I'll just do it HERE!

I didn't see Horsemen Rachel but it's about a serial killer (or group of) . Dennis Quaid is in it, I like him. It is based loosely on the the 4 horsemen of which you speak Jim.

oh Grammyjo Terry isn't the one who made the posts, Terry is an admin who removed the troublemaker & his posts.
Also, it was Jim's sisters with the spiders. If those had been in my house growing up the screaming would have been heard the world over.

Talking of spiders reminds me, does anyone know a good old fashioned "natural" cure for those tiny ants that are everywhere?

Also does spreading sulfur in your yard really get rid of seed ticks?

HELLOOOOO PEEPS! Man! It took me a while to read all new posts! Hi ya "gramps"!^-^ I took a tumble in our garage on saturday and was a bit "incapacitated" for a day or so that's why haven't really "surfed" a lot...

Hooookay, yes, "Horsemen" is a movie about these creepy serial killer GROUP. They kill according to the Book of Revelations' the Four Horsemen. Pretty gruesome stuff but the plot needed to be beefed up more...

cat6, use 2 tbsp dr. bronner's pepermint castile soap with a cuppa water and use to spray them ants dead... It works for me and it's the only stuff I use now on my plants for bugs and esp aphids...

Cat if you have the little sugar ants in your house (might be brown or black) you can get a bait from one of those guys who spays houses and put them out. We had them last year in a bathroom of all places. A guy down the road from me has his own terminex business, told me not to poison them but to use bait that they would carry back to the nest. Gave me a handful. Like to have never convinced the wife to leave them alone but did finally. Took about ten days but they are gone. They quit galavanting over the bathroom and just went straight to the bait.

So sorry about the fall grandaughter. Must run in the family. Was weed eating my sons ditch about six weeks ago and stepped down a little to reach the bottom, hit a muddy spot and both feet went straight up. Landed flat of my back but luckily didn't hit my head on the pavement. Had to lay there about five minutes before I could get up. No problem. A month later I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back and finally last week went to the doc. Exrayed and did an MRI and I've got a bunch of discs bulging. Getting an appointment with pain management to get started on some physical therapy. What gripes me is that I have always been careful how I lifted things to keep from ruining my back and now a silly fall has messed it up royally.

Maybe I will try both at the same time! Give them a double whammy! :-) I don't know any exterminators though. I'll have to check around.

Thanks guys!

:-) Hey, ya gots a free mudbath for it, right? ^-^ If anything, it "refreshed" and "exfoliated" your pores!
Me, I got kneecapped :-( got a big ol bruise on my knee the size of a tennis ball (still swollen) and my whole right side took most of the force so it's hurtin like I got run over by a semi ^-^! And all because I was trying to make sure that the puppy I was petsitting didn't try to escape! After I got up, the puppy was just sitting there idly staring at me with a look that says, "what's all THAT about?!?" with her puppy dog eyes ... Sheesh!

Thank's Lynnie and Chezca for filling me in on the movie "horsemen" and sorry to hear that you, Chezca and Jim took some nasty's fall's. Hope you both heal up quickly!

GrammyJo, Beautiful picture's you took there. Thank's for sharing them.

Have a great day all.

Rachel

Hey Guys, the monster is starting to turn yellow. Need to turn it so it won't rot on the bottom with rain approaching but afraid to move it because it is so heavy. Carrying my chainsaw to get it sharpened this evening. Gotta be prepared to slice that thing. Thinking of having a community cantalope supper. If that thing doesn't taste good I'm gonna cry.

Chezca, you be more careful. Watch the bruises and make sure you don't get a blood clot.

You need to post a picture when you pick it Jim.

You got it cat. Gonna carry it and weigh it somewhere to see if its as heavy as it seem. Can't really tell with all the vines and afraid to move it to much. Cantalopes have to stay on the vine to they pull themselves for them to be completely ripe and to have any flavor. That's one reason the ones you buy at the store don't have any flavor.

When I get to a place where I can garden again, I may try some of those seeds. IF they can be found, that is

Jim, I thought bruises ARE teeny tiny bloodclots..? I'm just a big klutz ^-^

A chainsaw?!? To cut the slug-eating cantaloupe?!? How ginormous is that thing?!? Yeesh! you could probly feed a whole platoon with it! ;-)

Btw, we have one peach tree in our backyard and those suckers are bout ready to be picked! Yummm! Only problem I have with em buggers is how to NEATLY peel em ^-^...

Notice this thread has ALMOST 400 posts! Kewl!

Hi All. Stay gone a couple days and it takes half a day to get caught up!!Grandson has been over for a couple days and hijacked the computer. Sorry to hear of all the bumps and bruises. Must have been something in the air. My dog ate fly bait poison so had to feed her peroxide. That was interesting!
Jim as far as being illogical. My dad would tell you to trust yourself nobody knows your body better than you do. His body did nothing by the' book' usually just the opposite. The first Dr. he went to told him he was in great shape he new better and kept going to different Dr's til someone listened to him, he was 32 when he had his first bypass he had 4 one every 5 years then had a transplant,( his actual heart muscle was in great shape it was the blockages in the arteries that caused his problems and without the cath nothing showed up) he lived 17 years doing great and when he passed away 7 yrs ago it was from kidney failure from the rejection medicine.
The spooky part is he kept asking if it was his birthday yet ( we had his party a week early) and when we asked why he wanted to know he said " I am going to die on my birthday", and on his b-day he came home from dialysis and went to sleep and passed . Ghosts??
My mom swears he turns the light on in the bathroom every morning.
Welcome cat##### I can't remember the numbers and to lazy to scroll back that far.
Later Gotta go watch the grandkid, farmer dil.

Chezca You don't happen to have a peach cobbler recipe do ya?? My son wants peach cobbler and I don't have a clue never made peach nothin. I googled it but then get so many different recipes don't know if they are good or not
Thanks

jjsgram, my sil does! She's been eyein those peaches for about 2 months now. Says she can't wait to bake some goodies out of em... I'll bug her tonight for her peach cobller and shoot ya a Dmail...

Here's a question for anybody: If there is an afterlife and we get to be with our dearly departed when we croak, what happens if your ex-wives/husbands are there too?!? What if you've been married 3, 4, 5 glorious times and you see all of your spouses on the other side, what do ya think will happen? Do you stick with the most current or I don't know... This is turning my brain into mush... Basically, who's gonna be THE "one true love" in the afterlife? I really can't even phrase my meandering convoluted question properly ^-^!

uh, "SLUGS RULE!" btw. :p

Chezca, our husband as the church, all true born again believers will be the bride of Christ. Jesus will be our one true love. The Book says no marrying or giving in marriage. No sexual relationship. It also says, we shall know as we are known. Recognition, yep. Envy, anger, jealousy, greed, tears, all gone.

jjs I'll get the Lady to give me her recipe for cobbler, maybe the Lazy Pie. You can compare to Chezca's and see how similar they are.

Chezca, I don't care for any kind of fruit but my wife loves them. Been feeding and ole boy down the road on cantalopes for a month and he's been returning the favor by keeping Jo in peachs. Ole Jim is left high and dry.

Cat, this monster of a slug eatting cantalope is a volunteer. Pretty sure it has reverted to something the Ambrosia Cantalopes, I raise, was bred from. Farmerdill (not the grandson) expained to me about the hy-breds.

You'll have to get someone who knows more than me about bruises. I do know sometimes they can form a blood clot that is dangerous if the bruise is deep enough. If the leg get red and starts hurting worse go to the doc. Most of the time, no worry. You know I got to take care of my Granddaughter.

^-^.........

I knew it was you without even reading your name.

Been thinking, that's a real chore for me, on one of these thread, I believe it was Lynnie, mentioned Foghorn Leghorn. Maybe I ought to change my user name to that since I seem to be the only rooster in this henhouse. What do you think? Naw, I don't think so either.

Temps in our area are a cool 90. Only thing, the humidity is about 85 per cent. Like to have got to hot twice today.

Got my bales of hay in the green house and started soaking them. Soak every day for 14 days. Getting ready to plant my Christmas tomatoes.

Don't know if it's to early, but planted 2, 5 ft. rows of carrots, 2 of lettuce, 2 Cherry Belle Radishs and 1 of Icicicle Radishs.

Never wanted to see summer end but I can hardly wait to plant cabbage, mustard greens, turnips, rutabagas and brocolli.

Geez, girls. Somebody hurry up and post something, I'm going nuts all by my lonesome.

Ok! Ok!

We have yet to see summer here in Ca... :-( It's sooo weird, feels like autumn...

Nieces visited for a while so i couldn't sneak away to post :-)... They're all growed up :-(... Wanted tacobell for dinner (blech!)....

Ok, that should put your blood pressure back to near normal... ^-^! Have a wonderful night!

I've never eaten at Taco Bell but I like Mexican Food. Love Chili Renoes. Think I spealt that right. You have a wonderful night as well.

Going to try to post a picture to see if any of you guys have ever seen one before. I hadn't until last year when a lady in Alabama sent Jo some seed. She has been saving seed to this plant for probably 50 years. Don't know if you can still purchase them or not. Probably can it you know the technical name, which I don't. Here goes nothing.
