Lovely cake! Hope you have an extra satisfying day tomorrow @CrazyChookChookLady

Awesome! Congratulations...

Thank you

Ticks are actually the one thing above spiders on my “eeeek! Eww... kill it with fire!” List. It’s like someone crossed all the worst aspects of spiders and mosquitoes and leeches.

Parasites! I can't stand 'em: ticks, leeches, worms ~ all icky, icky, icky. Makes my skin crawl. Spiders I can live with.

Definitely agree with you both. I'll happily save worms and praying mantis and spiders and any other bug that has got itself into difficulties but blood suckers? No! Kill it with a brick!

Good Evening folks

Happy Birthday @CrazyChookChookLady have a wonderful day.

Thank you so much! I'm working in the morning tomorrow, but then the man and I are spending some much needed time together.

Brings back memories... Once the kids were old enough to take care of themselves. Sue and I would sneak off for "date weekends" and "date nights" It's so easy to lose yourselves when dealing with the day to day of raising kids, working, etc... It's really good to just get some time away from it all.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I never believed in taking time for ones self, now after my divorce self-care is high on my list.

The cake was incredible! It is all from scratch, red velvet with buttercream icing.

No! Kill it with a brick!

Because we deal with ticks such a lot [I have to check the cats daily] I'm paranoid about making sure the rotten things are actually dead & took to using a lighter on them. They make a most satisfying *pop* as they explode!

Hey, Bob. Still pitch black here but it has been raining overnight so could be an interesting day.

That does indeed sound satisfying.

See, kill it with fire is good! Also hurts a lot less than squashing it with a brick if the little bloodsucker is on you!
I will stay very still listening to the incoming buzz then when it stops I smack myself about where I heard it buzzing to, often quite violently! Don’t think I’ll be trying the brick method anytime soon... sounds painful! Usually I get the little buggers too, even if I do take a bite or two.
