    I'm glad she's still hanging around. I wonder why a fixed female would be gone a month...

    Years ago I lived in a large house that had four apartments. My cat Purl went missing for a couple days. I usually came in from the left side of the house but a couple days after Purl disappeared I walked up the right side and saw this cat looking at me from inside an apartment. I thought, "That cat looks just like Purl." and then I realized that it was her. When some tenants moved out the landlord had some workmen working in the apartment and Purl must have walked in and then got locked in the apartment. After I got her out of there she had some story to tell me. :love:

    I made fly traps yesterday. They work really well but the flies just keep coming and coming. I read that a female lays 500 eggs in her short one month life.

    Please do tell...how to make fly traps. :2thumbsup:

    I WISH there were such a thing as a mosquito trap you could "make". By "making", that does imply there isn't bunches of money involved. The traps the squirrel ( :( I can't believe what I just read...that he's going) referred me to for mosquitoes cost a BIT :eek: of money.


    rf: Jackasses cutting crap on the side of the road Monday morning cut the phone line...so not only did we not have a phone here, I had no internet until just a short time ago. DANG I missed this crazy place. The first thing I did after getting a call verifying the phone was working was get on the net and come here. :p

    She had fell off a later while she was watering her flowers got tripped up in the hose and she had broken her ankles 3 weeks ago and the clots were forming when she broke them, they had to operate so this is why she was having the clots now

    This trap will catch flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and bees!

    [​IMG]

    There are all kinds of "recipes" on line but I used 2 drops dish soap, 2 drops vinegar, and 1/3 cup fruit juice.

    The bugs fly down in the funnel top of the bottle and can't get out. Eventually, the crash land into the liquid with the soap and can't get out.

    EDIT: I found out that the small soda or water bottles work better than the 2-Liter bottles. I guess the aroma is more concentrated coming out the top or something.
