Is there any way you can spray to keep them off?

My site is having issues again.

Well my current spray is not working (went down for a few more minutes and since then have found 6-8 more on me). Needing to go to town tomorrow or more kitty food, so am planning on getting a new can of something to see if it works better.

Geesh, Kerryann not again. Sounds like you almost just would be better off to start all over with a new site. :( :( :( :( :(

Have you tried sulfur?

I've heard if you rub poison oak/ivy on exposed skin, it acts like a tick repellent.


Just call me Mr. Helpful.

That looks like fun!

Soccer went really well today, my son is goalie, and it was a shut out! 6-0, a great team game too.

I was feeling a bit "mommed out" This evening, like all I do is feed, clean, and provide for everyone else.

All the boys were outside and I turned on some Metallica, Papa Roach, and Nirvana. Made me feel so much better!
A little reminder that I'm not "just a mom"

I hope everyone has a great week!

It was more fun than I imagined especially since it was a cold rain, and my toes were freezing, and I had heels on...what was I thinking? So, what's up with chat? Did anyone hear from Erin yet. I know she closed on the house Friday, and that she was shopping for things for the house.

And Jacqui, what's with those ticks? If you rub poison oak/ivy on skin, wouldn't you then get a rash? What's better, a tick or poison ivy rash? Doesn't seem like an option to me.

Cowboy, what kind of remedy is that? Did I misunderstand you again? :p


Don't despair....life get better down the road, when the kids are grown, and you want to feel like a mom, but the kids are doing their own things. Then, you begin to live for yourself (and hubby). You'll travel, get to go places and do things you don't have time to do now. You'll see.:)

Sibi, I was just being smart. I know, I know, everyone likes a little…, but nobody likes a smart…! Ha


Mrs. C. was buying furniture for the new house this weekend. She sent a shout out through me to chat on Saturday.

I'll take ticks over the poison ivy any day, but anyhow it's not yet up. :p :D


Sibi how many wines where there?


I wonder how Thal is doing? Also if Mel is getting some great pictures taken.

Yvonne how is the patient?

Kerryann, having mice isn't that bad. They are fairly easy to get rid of. I think it's sweet that Mikey was trying to not let you know.

Aw...way too many. One side of each block had all kinds of white wines, and the other side had all kinds of red wines. It was an experience for sure. Jacqui, did you check out my thread on the outside enclosure? I titled it, "Finally the start of my outside enclosure?" It's on the second page.

I'm so glad there are no ticks here. I hate those things. It would creep me out, Jacqui, if I got one one me.

The eastern box turtle with the ear abscesses hasn't started to eat yet, but I think she's going to be ok. It's pretty stressful to have your neck sliced open like that.

We've been having super good weather here the past couple days, and supposed to be up in the 90's today and tomorrow. I think I've put off mowing the back yard long enough. I'd better get to it today!

I have thought about getting a guinea, but darn they are expensive. We have had chickens in the past, but between the foxes, coons, possums, ect they never make it for too long. :(

*thinks about taking some of the snow we are getting tonight/tomorrow and making a snowball and throwing it right on somebody we all know and love...* :D


Okay Sibi, I saw your enclosure thread. Thanks for pointing me to it. I love all the space!

Well guinea would be the best option. They are pretty good at avoiding prey situations. I have a friend who has some outside of their chicken coups. They fly up in the trees at dark time. That wont stop cougars from getting them but safe from the rest I suppose. Until that one day comes mhuahaha. Sorry had to do the evil chuckle.

We had a couple of hens that tried the night time tree deal, not sure if the coons got to them up in the tree or if they got caught before they made it to the tree. We had an old tom turkey that survived for many years he would roost on the top of the house. :D About caused a few driver to end up in the ditch. The adult geese did fine as long as there were three of them (so did a duck who would hide among the geese :D ), but in the end even the geese got killed.

Mikey was trying not to get them evicted. He now agrees they need to be rehomed outside immediately. I understand he didn't want to rehome them in the winter. He is very sweet.
Soo I was up at 2, 4, and 5 am last night and all day. After tonight though the next 24 hours are mine.
I seriously need some sleep
