Antifreeze - not just for cars
Shhh... you'll interrupt his confusion.
-- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... you never want sewer gas to be allowed in your home!! sewer gas can have gasoline, natural gas and other explosive vapors besides bad stink. the cost of antifreeze is low, the cost of fixing the damage can be a killer I thought this section of the thread was about using a compressor to blast residual water out of THE SUPPLY PIPES, and whether there were people who would provide this service. |

Antifreeze - and welfare people
DKX was become pretty much useless, although I think they have an old school
R&B show on Sundays. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... I'm not much interested in rock, nor rap and black on 104, is it DKX? Yeah, white hots are closer to sausage. Not heard of that brand, probably cause they aren't commonly found. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org . "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ... - Only deaf people listen to WCMF. They intentionally induce distortion into their signal. Sounds like a phonograph needle with a ball of dust on it. - White hots are not hot dogs. The only real hot dogs are made by Sabrett and Hebrew National, and are apparently illegal around here. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... And the cows. You're right, people talk about NYS like it's all Bronx. Do you wake up with the wease on 96? Do you know what a white hot is? Is lilac festival a reason to wear snow gear? Does the Breeze make you groan, for wasted tax payer money? Is a corn hill festival a place to get sunburn, or get AIDS? |

I've never hit one, but they're the reason my gardening has come to almost a
complete halt. Don't bother with suggestions for keeping them away. I've tried absolutely EVERYTHING. The only thing that will work is not legal in my neighborhood, unfortunately. I've come home from my band gigs at 2:30 AM and found 8-10 of them standing in my driveway, looking at me like "What do you think you're doing here?" Last 4th of July, I was carrying my handgun when I came home, and I could've gotten a perfect head shot if it had been earlier and people were still setting off fireworks. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... Wow, that's a lot like work. How many deer did you hit, this year, in Durand? Do you support feeding the deer, or shooting? Did the "police snipers" do OK? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org . "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ... There are a few of those vertical driveways on the west side of Irondequoit Bay, but they're year-round homes. A couple have 149 steps to get down from the street. "Honey - we have to tip the movers $500 each...." :-) "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... When I was a little guy, we used to vacation in the Adirondaks. Fishing, and get away from it all. The cabins we rented had no insulation. I'm sure they had to be drained and had the pipes blown out for winter. Many in the finger lakes, likely the same way. I've been to some homes where the driveway is vertical, and I've had to pray for safety on the way in, or the way out. Winter? Forget it. |

My sister used to live in the edge of the city. One neighbor
of hers didn't like the woodchuck (groundhog) in the yard. There was unspoken agreement, every now and again he'd pop the latest woodchuck with .22RF using shorts or CB caps or whatever. Some of the ligher loaded rimfire are barely audible. I've heard that if the muzzle is a foot or so inside the (open, silly) window, it keeps slight bit of noise indoors. -- Christopher A.

I used to like the Bee, but their country western sounds too
much like rock. Ah, well. Can't win. Society changes, and I change also. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message ... DKX was become pretty much useless, although I think they have an old school R&B show on Sundays. |

Modern country is nothing but rock with cowboy hats and fake accents. And
way too much use of machine-generated harmonies. "Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... I used to like the Bee, but their country western sounds too much like rock. Ah, well. Can't win.

Unfortunately, other people's houses are much too close to use any sort of
rifle here. And a .22 would just annoy the deer, although I know for a fact that within a few hours, someone in this newsgroup will share an exception that's as likely to reoccur as it is for Mick Jagger to stop by my house for a beer.

They laughed at it and ate half the branches off a rugosa rose. Do you have any idea how many thorns are on a well-grown rugosa? These deer are all named Rambo. |

Well, the deer were there before you were. And since humans got rid of the natural predators, and only replaced predation in part with automotive depopulation, it isn't surprising the population is spiking. -- aem sends... |

Funny thing about humans, they have anti-predators known as Tree Hugging Democrats. They prevent predation which causes all kinds of pesky animal species to invade human habitats after the animal populations increase exponentially. TDD |

The other group, known as conservatives. Strikes terror into
the first group's heart by owning long things that make loud noise. And which make deer into venison. This scares the first group so much, the huddle together in closed door meetings, and write words on paper which prevent the second group from scaring them. -- Christopher A.

TDD Lack of predators is not the reason for exploding populations of deer and some other animals. Deer are not "deep forest" animals. They are "edge dwellers". They live where forests meet clearings. Clearing land for houses creates a lot more forest edges. We have created excessive deer habitat, and the deer have just filled the places we created. |
