One of the humbling things for us humans to remember is that planet Earth would get along very well without us.
But without insects, the planet would not survive. I don't think we would survive without insects either.
So we are not as important as we seem to think we are.
By the way everyday I strive to do as much nothing as I can because if I actually do something I will have do it until I am 6 feet under.
umm, yeah...i'm gonna have to ask you to watch this vid...
Thanks Al I liked that. You know I worked hard for over 47 years just to be able to do nothing if I feel like it.
just a clip. gotta see the whole movie and you'll laugh your ass off.
are there ants in china? ;-)
i just remembered an old indian lady telling me that 60 years ago the only time she heard of singapore was in the phrase taught in her school in india, "there are no crows in singapore". & when she arrived here a few years later, she was shocked to see crows :-)
If all the ants in China jumped at the same time....
The ants go away when the heat dies down.
I had an ant invasion about a while ago...couldn't kill 'em. Washed the ant track with vinegar and soapy water, and sealed the food they were interested in. Seemed to work, especially when the heat wave abated.
i'm leaving my current abode due to the place being so damn old and unkempt that bugs were allowed to infiltrate.
unlike you, though, everything i do doesn't seem to work. bleach. baking soda and vinegar...the list goes on.
now, i only signed a lease so i could walk to work since i'm half blind.
not really. instead, i ask my cat to eat them, but, she's 15 years old, and knows the food bowl will have food.
You need one of these, Al

You know what is fun to do to those little basturds, erase the about 2 feet of ant trail and watch them start circling around not knowing which way to go.

A 7.0 earthquake in China Whip?
Btw, my kids are so immersed in Anglo-Saxon culture they also put sometimes 1,000,000,000 instead of 1.000.000.000, and call that a billion! :O
On the bus this morning to work, I finally remembered who the driver was.
He was an elementary classmate. Took me 6 bus rides to finally nail down where I knew him from. it was over 30 years ago!! He's still seems pretty cool.
Flat bill cap wearing mofo like myself.
Now this is one tough ass Elephant against 14 female lions.

I believe those are American conventions rather than Anglo-Saxon. The British use 1.000.000.000 and Thousand million (I think??), particularly when they are ordering their beer.
Funny as hell Whip.
Indeed! :D
@ Mexi That is the "What If Game"? I have thought about it a lot and I have pin pointed two of them. If I had just followed through on first and walked away on the second my life would would be totally different.
Thanks PH, also check this out about Ants.
