Hi sharron

squash bugs, where theres one, theres alot more, if you spray them with detergent mixed with water, it will kill them, but usually to late to save the plants unless you catch them early enough, i think thats what killed my cucumbers, killed more that 50, they were even in the ground, when you spray them, they try to go up to the top of anything close , keep spraying

Thanks! This is helpful. I haven’t actually seen any bugs around - do they hide?

Your secret is safe with me Cap. I have never run into your husband.

I, on the other hand, always like to have a little leverage stored in my pocket.....just for “medicinal” purposes, you understand!

yes, very well in fact, didn't see any til my cucumbers started dying and i sprayed them with neem oil, then those nasties came out, by the way, neem oil didn't work

Yup, under leaves.

Yup, under leaves.

Thank you. I haven’t seen any under the leaves but maybe I am not looking close enough.

Morning DMC Sue's assistant put in her notice yesterday, apparently McDonald's pays better than a teacher's aid.

The signs here advertize starting at up to $12/hr. Of course minimum wage is now $10.78.

Never been in one before so this should be interesting

Hopefully they gave you a 3 shot handicap ... per hole.

The cashiers at Krogers were making 15 $ an hour.

In the 70's?! That's crazy. I made < $10/hr as a computer programmer just out of college in '79.

I'm going through the headache bit, the sore throat, the coldness of an 82F room, wonder if I am getting an early flu. Wouldn't mind though- I sleep better .

I don't think I'd take fever, chills, aches, barfing, and the runs for a little sleep!

The minimum wage here is $12 an hour currently and going up to $15. It started going up last year. Supposed to be $15 by 2023. They’ve increased tipped wages too. Meanwhile one of the places I’m thinking of moving to still has the federal $7.25/hr min wage so I wanna work here a while first haha
