Does it involve the use of a rubber mallet? A sledge hammer, actually ...  |

Yep. Antmac and I are having an illicit rendezvous rolling around in Vegemite! I knew it! Well, not that you and Ant-mac were doing soggy-sao or whatever you Aussies are into. On the old food board I remember Athene who was nice and lived near me. And an older Welsh guy who was really nice. Not sure about what drama happened there - but they always seemed nice. I do remember some Jody person who got into some trouble I think. It's all foggy because I was new. But you always seemed nice. Did you get into mischief for talking healthy? Or did I misread? Yes, there were some wonderful people/characters on the old Food Board. Athene was lovely and had a personal tragedy (we used to spar butt it was all in good fun...there was a thing called 'The Great Gravy Wars) and the Welsh dude was wonderful. He taught me a lot about growing vegetables and walking in the hills. Jody is sadly ill and who could forget The Count? I got into trouble for trying to direct the conversations towards cooking, recipes and fresh ingredients rather than 'which chain of pizzas/cookies/candy/breakfast cereal do the Americans on the Board like? I was called un-American which was true. lol Unfortunately we lost a lot of good posters when a really appalling psychotic troll with a raft of socks, took over the Board for a very long time and made a wonderful board into troll's paradise with personal attacks and some really nasty stuff. Sadly the troll behind that ghastly episode still posts here though they seem to be on and off their meds a little better than previously. I totally ignore them. |

 Experimenting with posting a photo... trying again... BUGGER!!!! Help, ant-mac ! And this is a photo already on the internet, not one of my own!  ![]() Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the BIGGEST tech dummy of us ALL? GOZ! So from one dummy to another...can you cut/copy and paste? However you do it either by highlighting and doing Control C and then pasting and going Control V Or by the right click method.. ALL you have to do is have the link to the photo on your clip board by one of the above methods. You THEN either type {url}…{/url} (with the straight brackets not the wiggly one...I had to do wiggly or it didn't show what I meant) either side of the pasted link OR look up at the top above where we are now posting and you will see a little picture icon up there between the email icon and the clapboard icon(which is for doing the same with videos) You click on that and a place where you can 'paste' the link comes up, Paste the link and then click on INSERT IMAGE. Voila! |

Will the real wheel bug show himself?  I DID IT!!!! Yippee! BATouttaheck , ant-mac , goz , Catman, Sulla... nasty looking little bugger, isn't he? He's an assassin bug, and you should see what he does to a squash bug - yikes! So the wheel bug is valued to get rid of other bugs, but will also feast on monarch caterpillars, so I find homes for the ones that I see at my house. |

Well, Bat, I live in Missouri, or as it's called at this time of year, Misery... but I don't know where else. But if you see one, DO NOT PICK IT UP!!! Their bite is incredibly painful, one source likened it to a gun shot. My bite hurt like hell, but I've never had a gun shot wound, so I dunno about the comparison. I feel so proud!!! Thanks, everyone, for the assist and encouragement!  |

Continuing with the thread hijacking...
I don't live all that far away from you, but I've never seen these things. I'll heed your advice and be careful not to get stung by this assassin.

rachelcarson1953 I shall avoid the cute bug IF I encounter one... I got bitten by a Texas Red Ant once and that was one time too many ! For once a bug's name actually makes sense!
BTW … I also leave milkweeds growing but the Monarchs are much fewer than they used to be Neighbor uses nasty sprays on his fields

BATouttaheck, in Iowa during RAGBRAI, they pass out packets with milkweed seeds to bike riders and encourage them to toss the packets randomly into the ditches along the route.

Just when I thought I could move to your farm, help out, pay rent and live in a little house on the edge of your property with some dogs to protect the chickens you show me that beast? I’m afraid. |
