Things you wish you could say

They come into my attic for the winter despite the certainty of death as demonstrated by the carcasses of beetles past. . .

Shoveling snow is fun!

Come and join me shovelling the drive! It’s fun!

(Ooh! That felt good! Now I just have to say it out loud, lol.)

Shhh don’t tell anyone - I do egg drops in the parking lot at work

There are no ladybird beetles in my house.

Evil biting beetles - they are an introduced species different from the ladybugs we have here.

I think they may lay eggs in the house and that's why there are do many of them every year. I actually had them eradicated for about five years, but some came back this year. Ugh!

I offered to send them to where my husband works but that doesn't work for her either. She may just have to find another supplier.

"want to know more about me? read my about"
And then this is what I see when I try to.

Don’t feel guilty about telling her no. It’s rude of her to want to put you out of your way to supply her with eggs. Your time and fuel add up to the cost of those eggs!

I don't really feel guilty about saying no to her, I feel indignant. Whenever I say, I can't do abc because,.. she responds with, well you can xyz instead. She does not ASK, well, how about xyz, would that work for you? She aggravates me and then I feel guilty about being aggravated. Silly of me. (But of course xyz does not work for me either, lol!) We've gone round and round and there is just no reasonable way for me to get eggs to this lady.

I would set ground rules, and send them to her. I have ground rules: pick up at the farm, when it’s good for me, or, pick up at my workplace when I am at work, or I can meet you at Walmart parking lot when I do groceries.

(….and just like that I became everyone’s egg dealer, hahahaha)

It has to be convenient for me, not them.
