Life... on a pig farm

Posted in General

This past Sunday we had a lovely fellowship lunch after church.  As is mandatory with all Baptist churches worth a second look, everyone brought large portions of absolutely delicious foods - main dishes and desserts, salads, drinks, etc.  Yes, of course there was fried chicken (it was gone before we made it through the line) and yes there was pie.  Apple, lemon, cherry, pumpkin.

 

After we had lunch, my 7 yr old Jordan went up with me to the dessert table.  I let her dish herself up a few treats, and she turned to me and said:

 

"Wow mom, this is really nice, there are no flies!"

 

I nodded, in humiliated agreement, hoping no one heard her (as if they wouldn't understand - the church is in farm country, most there live on farms too).

 

Lord willing, I'm going to the hardware store Wednesday to buy an automated fly-be-gone-timed dispenser - the kind restaurants use. I've been assured by everyone who is in the know - that this little gem, fully loaded with KONK fly spray, is the thing to do the trick. 

 

We'll see. I sure hope so, these flies drive me nuts!

I wonder if your flies could be ... or if we'd want them to be...traded for our 2" water cockroaches (they come into the house searching for water). I've just about HAD IT with them already this summer! - Lori Seaborg (Gulf Coast)

2" water cockroaches!?! ewwwwww

When we lived in southern California for a year, many moons ago, we had THE biggest cockroach ever to walk the planet, in our apartment. Someone told me it wasn't a cockroach but some other bug that looks JUST like them - either way, it nearly gave our oldest daughter (who was 4 at the time) a heart attack. She was playing in her room, turned and came face to antanae with this thing, hanging off her curtain. You've heard the term "blood curdling scream"? Well, there ya go. I caught it in a baby food jar and threw it in the dumpster. The idea of smashing it sort of grossed me out - it was so big, I didn't want to hear the "crunch" or clean up the mess.

You keep your water beasties, I'll get the fly-be-gone stuff, lol.
