We have this friend in our town that got a vasectomy after his 3rd child and did not go back to check if he was all clear and his wife ended up pregnant with twins. Now they have 5 kids, 4 of which are boys!! That story had many men in my town scared!!

Kerryann, gather your most productive team and tell them that that department has been sold to a company in India, and let them know team will be kept in tack with moving expenses paid. You really learn a lot about people if you can keep a straight face.

considering like 65% of them are from India they would probably be happier than most would imagine. :D We just acquired a new company and now i have to integrate a whole new team.. eek.. I feel like someone is playing a joke on me.
My day is good.

Morning everyone. How have you all been?

I'm good! Did a little yard work in the Russian and desert tortoise pens this a.m. The grass is getting really high and I noticed a few fox tail weeds that needed pulling. While I was in there I saw the little male Russian sitting in the same place in the middle of the grass for a long time, while the girls were up against the fence sunning. After a bit I picked him up to check him and he had three or four red ants biting him. One was dug into the skin at the edge of his eye and I couldn't get him to let go. I finally had to pick him off with the tweezers. Stupid little tortoise was just going to sit there and allow the darned ants to sting him to death. I hate those ants! They usually leave the tortoises alone, unless its baby tortoises. Don't know why they went after a grown tortoise. Now I'm going to have to keep going out there and checking on him. Trouble with that pen is its so overgrown you can't see where the ant hill is.

Once you find the ant hill or places the ants usually are sprinkle som cream if wheat in those areas. The ants will eat it, and it will expand in their bellies and kill them. But it's completely harmless to other animals.

Fire ants have yet to develop textiles for warmth, so I'm ok with them. We have carpenter ants, and they destroy your house. And they're not small, they're up to 1.5" long. They don't sting. They bite with jaws that can chew through a 4x4!

Yah.... I had those when they came looking for Termites. Turns out, if you got 1, you probably got both!

So I have been going out to various places on weekends thinking I would meet someone to date.
I was kinda proud of myself. Went to jazz clubs, bars, bookstore, etc..

We're hard pressed to find termites in these parts. Problem for us with carpenter ants, they like damp wood. We get rain and almost everyone has a stump on their place. The ants move into the roots of the stump, then they send satellite colonies to invade a home with wood to ground contact or a leak around the roof line.
