It depends on the type of insect and what the circumstance is. I won't think twice about swatting a fly or killing a bee/hornet/wasp but I'll leave spiders alone if all they are doing is hanging out in their web in a corner of the room. I personally don't hold insects life to the same standard as animals. When we'd get mice at my moms house we always used the catch and release traps and let them out in the backyard but we had no issues with killing wasp nests or ant colonies or any other type of insect infestation. I am so happy that you use the non-lethal mice traps. I do the same thing. I have to take them to the woods though. Most of the time when I release in the yard they come back in within a few days. And I even took them to the very rear of my yard and they still came back. Just yesterday There were a whole bunch of ants on my porch maybe 3 feet from my door. I sprayed some of that animal safe insect spray in front of them so they don't get to the door but I know many got killed I put a barrier of baby powder by all of my doors. I never use insecticide, only vinegar.

Found out today that my uncle that has been dealing with more things then you can only imagine has cancer. I don't think I've seen a man go through so much in my life then what he's went through last 5 years,just to name a few lost his wife,major stroke that he had to spend months in a home for,went almost completely blind and today found out about the cancer. That is a lot to go through. So sorry to hear that.

I never use insecticide, only vinegar. There's a ton of animals around here... I put out food & water during the day for the birds and squirrels and at night for the stray cats but of course possums and raccoons eat it too. This just brings them back more so I have to be careful using the safe stuff. Glad to know you do too!

It's not necessarily troubling but my neighbor is convinced guys & girls can't be just friends when I've had plenty of friends that are girls from Kindergarten to present day.

They're waiting on another opinion now but its not looking good for him.

One of the pipes in the bathroom has a leak. I contacted few different companies in our area but they all seem to be very busy for some reason. For now I read some Gillece Services complaints on this website and will try to contact their customer service later today. Hope they will be able to come and fix the issue as soon as possible, before it got worse.

I’ve been labouring away at a project I’ve been developing and have been facing adversity after adversity trying to get this thing to grow legs. unfortunately, a lot of the setbacks have been due to those who should be helping - as they actively sabotage it by pure ignorance.
nonetheless I will push forward. I’ll be damned if this doesn’t show fruit

Spent 26 of the last 48 hours at a hospital cutting a hole in a wall to get an MRI machine out.
We got it out. Wall is temporarily plugged.
I’m about to drink. 🍻

Need a new well pump. Huge tree in the back yard got struck by lightning. Power went out around 11 last night, JCP&L said it should be restored by 1am Monday morning. The only road leading to my parent's house has slightly washed away.

The fact that someone, somewhere, at some point in time, thought raisin salad was a good idea.

Lately, I've been dealing with some troubling seasonal allergies, and it's been a real challenge. Sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose seem to be my constant companions these days. However, I recently stumbled upon a helpful solution which were recommended to me at pharmacy. It's been a game-changer for me, providing some much-needed relief during this difficult allergy season. Btw the way it was nasal spray and sime allergy pills. U would ask "Why did not I use that earlier" because the pld ones did not help me and that ones was new for me

I always get really nervous selling figures online, because I'm worried the buyer won't be happy with them. I'm sure that's a common thought, but it always make me feel anxious.

Pretty sure I’m getting new upstairs neighbors this week even though originally it wasn’t supposed to be until the end of August. Hoping they are more quiet than my last neighbors. I tried moving into the upstairs unit myself but my apartment complex wouldn’t let me transfer.

a good friend of mine was in a severe car accident last night and I am being told it is potentially life threatening injuries. i grew up with him, was supposed to go to wrestling with him later today. i can only hope he’ll be okay.

Killed 4 gnats in my sink and starting to see ants again here and there. Apartment living is dope.

Killed 4 gnats in my sink and starting to see ants again here and there. Apartment living is dope. I tried pouring boiling water down the drain because apparently that kills any gnat eggs in pipes. I also put out some vinegar in a cup. I haven't seen any all day so hoping maybe I caught it early.
