Sooooo I dyed my hair black. What do you guys think? DH likes it, but he doesn't really have a choice in the matter!

Look Tammy, I am sideways too! Guess you can dye your hair whatever color, and the roots will still be blonde

Mandy, that's a beautiful photo!!

You look very '40s Rosie Riveter and I like it, too! I'm late to the board today, so if someone has already mentioned it then, a x2!

What this shows us is that an animals ability to adapt to it’s environment is conditional on the genetic qualities that are already present in the animal, not the new genetic qualities it will develop. Darwin’s theory of macroevolution is dependent on an animal developing new genetic information to adapt to a new and changing environment and the evidence for this is not observable or testable in nature, and therefore, Darwins theory, does not follow the Scientific Process.

The one important piece of information you have neglected to include is that genetic material is all the same stuff, whether you are a worm or a human (or maybe even both). A mouse and man share 99% of the same genetic material, including the genes to make a tail. Not only the same genes, but in the same places.

Spontaneous mutations reshuffle the genetic deck.

Peace.

I cover the ground, where you see ants, pretty heavy. I have it in a pen with baby chicks & it hasn't hurt them. I've had good luck using grits to kill fireants but if the mounds are where the chickens are the chickens will eat the grits

although I have noticed after the chickens got through scratching up the ants while eating the grits that the ants seemed to disappear. Guess they didn't like their spot being disturbed

Do I buy this at the feed store? What do you mean by "grits"? I haven't done anything about the numerous ant mounds--just trying to avoid them--because I've been worried about the animals, but I'm getting sick of getting stung and bitten.

Grits are found in the hot cereal section of the grocery.

DE is diatomaceous earth and it's a white powder that you do not want to breathe. It works by "cutting up" the exoskeletons of insects.

....did I just use exoskeletons in a sentence???

Oh Lord, honey. You don't know about grits?! You poor thing.

Go look in the cereal isle at the grocery store. It'll be by the oatmeal. It's definitely a southern thing. Broken grains of corn that you cook up kinda like oatmeal. Bland on its own, but put some butter and/or cheese in it.... You'll hurt yourself.

There's something about the ants not being able to process the corn. Cornmeal can also be used to fight them.

Yes. Yes you did!
