Which BYC member scares you?

What you'd do is get a roll of alien tape. Tape all that cr@p down. Blast it for like 43 seconds with a leaf blower.
Spend the next 59 + minutes on here.
Husband gets home you show him and mention it took about a hour but that was totally fine.
Win win

I have a couple of questions.
What is alien tape?
Where does all that dust go? Wouldn't it just fly in the air and land somewhere else?

It's my friday. On a plane to Ontario (Cali) for gymnastics regionals tomorrow. Will be a busy but fun long weekend.

Well, well, well, I certainly missed quite a bit.


Your loss; I want the babies.

Steal her!

They're a Nerd's Words.

We had a rooster named that a while ago. Lakenvelder. Real jerk. Got the pew-pew treatment.

All I can think of is Brian Setzer.

I suppose that not wearing clothes would make cleaning up after all that painting you do much easier.

My stars, that looks tortuous.

She's wearing even less than the Great Fairies from Ocarina of Time -- less than the one from Twilight Princess, even! That's saying something!

Had one of those suckers on me the other day.
I felt very gross and icky and blah.

You win some you lose some. Very impressive, either way.

Normal ladder?

And the sun. And the wind. And the neighbors.

Good job! *Gives cookie.*

You are!?

Congratulations, senor senior.

As the resident Big Deal, you probably have a bit of both.

Correct. Blonde is for girls, blond is for boys. Same with brunette and brunet.

Trip, I thought you knew us.



Hostas! Phlox! Peonies! Allium! Lilies! Roses! Columbines! Squill! Crocuses!

*Phlox.
I've found that both creeping phlox and normal, upright phlox can cover quite a bit of ground if left unattended for about, oh, ten minutes.

Just sic the chickens on them.

Flamenwerfer?

There, there. I love them, too.

I've got some! They're called wild roses. They're the plant equivalent of fire: Wild, uncontrollable, hungry, and painful.
Blasted thing is probably as old as I am and still won't leave the garden ten years after backhoe treatment.

There, there.

I've got some wild roses that you can borrow. No maintenance required. Very hardy. Just plant 'em and leave 'em and invest in thick-soled shoes.

Shame! *Waves finger.*

"Partially boneless."
Look, they've either got bones, or they don't got bones. Pick one.

Hey, I've seen those, too! I think that some people use them for chicken stock.

Same here.

Right? Practically gave me mental whiplash discovering that.

I'm terrible at all kinds of code.

Kiki Kode.

But not soft, so they're even more useless.

LittleBig Planet! Such a cute game

Kiki's good at helping! Keeks! What are your thoughts on stealing people?

@EverythingDucks, you've been summoned.

Kind of, yeah.

Hostas spread?

I eat that stuff up and spit it back out onto paper in the form of angsty/tragic writing.
... I should probably get a psych evaluation at some point.
Psychology is just so much fun to explore, though.

I've found my people.

MY PEOPLE.

When did you become Colt?

At least she didn't go gif crazy.

Alien tape is the kind of tape that you stretch and it releases.
You do not want to damage those packages.
Open doors and or windows needed to get an airflow going through the house. Blow the dust off and then into path of airflow. Chase behind working it out the door.

That sounds like way too much work. Wiping with a rag would be so much easier.

So tape down the stuff you do want in the house, air blast the stuff you don't want in the house (aka dust, dirt). Is that the plan?

Opening windows here is just inviting more dust in, not getting it out. Such is life in the desert. None of the windows in my office actually open anyway, the space it occupies was originally part of the 18 foot cathedral ceiling in our living room. We decked it over to make actual useful space out of it when we had #3 and needed the bedroom that used to be my office for his nursery
