That is true. My wife Rose is from the Philippines. The bidet is common there.
When she came to the U.S. the request for a bidet was asked. I installed it and never thought I'd use it. It didn't take long and I was sold. And yes you use less TP.
I was wondering how it's going with Rose's family? In the Philippines.

I set a humane trap out with some sardines. Checked it about 1am and there was a cat trapped in it. Let it go and baited it again. Waiting for some action right now at about 4:30am. I have a pest control coming over tomorrow. Hopefully the raccoon is trapped. So he can block up the holes. I am starting to accept (I think) that I can't do somethings anymore and have to pay to get it done.
reeses cup. Used to animal control years ago and it never failed since cats dont generally like it.

Wow BD, never knew about Reece cups. I have fought many battles with my little zoro friends and always used sardines like Ray.
I'm on the porch this morning as the deer are coming thru. All of a sudden I hear what sounds like a chain link fence being dragged on the road by a truck! I glance at the time....630 is too early for the tree cutting guys....wonder what.....then they got closer...a huge flock of birds! LOL

Dear Cathie,

Meat Curry:

1 Kilo Beef or Lamb (cut into cubes)
3 Large onions (halved)
Half an inch of root ginger
4 Cloves of Garlic (crushed)
One large potato (diced)
Turmeric
Coriander
1 level teaspoonful of chili powder
1 inch cinnamon
3 Star Aniseeds
Lemon
3 Cardamom Seeds
3 Cloves
6 peppercorns
3 curry leaves
Tin of canned tomatoes
Cup of Coconut Milk
1 level spoonful of Salt

1 Coat the meat in a spoonful of turmeric and a spoonful of coriander

2 Fry the onions they are browned

3 Fry the meat until the juices rise to cover the meat

4 Add water but just enough to cook the onions and meat

5 Add the root ginger, garlic, chilli powder, Cardamom seeds, Cloves, Black Peppercorns, Star Aniseeds, Cinnamon, Curry leaves, lemon and last time I added another spoonful of coriander and another spoonful of turmeric. More of these ingredients may need to be added to taste apart from the chilli powder.

6 Massage the tinned tomatoes into pulp in a bowl and add to the curry. Stir to mix.

7 Prepare a cup of Coconut milk by stirring in a small cup and add to the curry. Blend into the curry until the oil starts to rise

8 Add the salt and then the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are cooked.

This recipe can be used for chicken

Ok thanks, I think I have bigger problems than 1 racoon. Last night I went outside by the front door to monitor the sound of the racoon. I have to pillars in front of the front door. There were sounds coming from 1 of the pillars. Put my ear up to one of the pillars. I knocked on the pillar and scratching started. I think there are babies in there.😫😫😫

I bet the Reese's cups would work on the babies too. They'd be even easier to talk into going into a crate with food available.

This morning I put my ear up to the pillar of knocked on it. Heard movement, when the movement stopped. I would knock on it again. I would let my wedding ring hit it also, to make more noise. I did that about 4 times. Around noon I did the same thing. This evening I did the knocking and there was no movement. At midnight I tried again with same results. Around 4 am I will try again. I asked Nanay if she heard any noises from the raccoon and she said no. So maybe it was only one racoon and making noise. Finally made the racoon leave or mama moved the babies out. The worst thing is if the babies or just the one racoon died in there.😣😣😣😣

Sleepless in Chester Harbor again. We love everything about Fall but 1 thing, the leaves! We raked today and while Kerry is sleeping like a baby I'm wide awake...dang.

If it went quiet it probably means mom is home telling the little ones to be quiet or as you say, she moved them but if you were home you'd probably have heard them moving out.
