Good Morning Volties - Interesting topic - bugs. I put a border around my property - it keeps out 90% of the crawly kind - the flying kind are few (except wasp - got a lot of them) and we just deal with them if they get attached to the house.

I'm thinking that it's maybe because the clearo is less "insulated" than a carto.
I did not think of that - I was thinking more along the line of surface area, but who knows - it makes my juices taste different than on the 78's. I will add - my tobacco and fruity flavors taste the best on the X2's, while my coffee flavors taste better on the 78's...
What kind of border? Flowers? I read that marigolds repel insects, but I planted some around the house back when I lived in California, and still, those little brown ants invaded the house. We had a lot of them out there. Not so many here, and they don't seem to come into the house.
Naw, we use a border of lime and some bug stuff. The lime keeps out certain pests and the bug stuff others. I also have a underground border around parts of my property to block moles to an extent... Now my wife does have our property almost lined with flowers - we watch the birds and the bees everyday take lunch breaks in the flower beds... They really like bells.
One little trick I learned about ants. If you get them, sprinkle some instant grits around where they are. They will eat the grits, and then die. The grits expand in their tummies and kill them. Sounds mean I know, but they can really bite!
Mornin' Tina!!
Retriever - Sounds like a good plan. I've also been able to keep ants from invading the glider cage by smearing Vaseline on the legs of the cage.
Semi - Would you mind sharing what brand of "bug stuff" you're using? I've tried Ortho Home Defense Max with no results to speak of. 'Course - even "Max" might not be strong enough in my venue.
White vinegar is the best thing I have found for keeping ants out of the house. It also keeps linoleum shiny and is safe around pets and people.

Rave, I use a granular product that I buy at a feed store. Because it is granular it releases slower with rain and last longer. The lime controls fleas and other pests also and helps with acidity in the soil... I put a 1.5 ft line around my property along the fence right before spring and again in the fall. My dog does not have fleas and my yard/house has no ants or roaches.
Nice! Maybe our local Tractor Supply will have something like that. Thanks Semi !
So - Any big plans for the weekend folks?
For me - exciting plans ahead - more painting and caulking... Next week time to finish the kitchen floor and counters... Anybody wanna join. And Rave is going to install her baseboards as soon as she finds the stain... LOL...
Oh, I found the stain. Even went as far as to bring it upstairs. That's as far as it went. 
Sounds like me Rave. I have sealer in one room and I will get to it. I have paint in another and I will get to it. I just bought some 1/4" plywood that I will get to and I have to finish the shower stall that I was going to get to...
It is a good thing that my Wife is such a caring and understanding person - as long as I keep her spoiled she will stay that way too...
Go Jacob! I'd love to know what goes through Tom's cat-brain whenever he sees Jacob coming . . . Remember, Sandy: Dogs have masters; cats have staff.
I have never met a fruit flavored vape that I liked, until now. I recently got brave and tried a couple versions (Blueberry Banana and another multi-fruit blend that has banana). I really really really love Banana! 
If SI ever decides to expand their flavor offerings, I do hope some version of banana will be among them.

I think I can guess. Tom sees Jacob and says to himself, "Oh, here he is again. Sigh! Well, I'll just pretend he doesn't exist. If he gets too pushy, I'll tell him to back off. He will, but I know I can't actually get rid of him."

Good Morning Again Everyone.
The NightOwls quit early last night. Must have been a rough Friday - I know mine was (LOL) - found quite a few muscles I had not used much in a while - good thing I keep plenty of bengay around the house...
Well, more painting and stuff today - gotta get it done... Then I can relax...

Hmmm i came by last night and thought i posted... I guess i didn'nt. My SI vape mail came in. A bottle of RY4 which i had chain vaped for almost 6hours @ 12mg.... And made me for the first time ever( with ry4) a bit queesy.... Bu i missed it so much i just couldn'nt put it down
Thought that a spa might make me feel better.. Seein as i had also pulled a muscle in my neck earlier in the morning. But i felt worse so i went to sleep early instead.
Semi - ur daughter is right... We are ahem... I am a gamer. And there is a difference Lol
I hope you get to finish or at least make a start on the painting this weekend.
My weekend is a bit blah and im a lil sad with the news that one of my friends is moving back to brisbane for a while. I only just lost another friend last week( who moved back to her home town) and dont know what im feeling at the moment.
Argh..
Hmmm. Banana sounds good... I love banana vape but i vaped it so much last year i can no longer vape it as much as i'd like. However i did get some banana nut bread from an aussie vendor... And its sooooo good
Waves - have a good saturday

Oh yeah - Like a Banana Strawberry Smoothie!!
I'm so excited - My rose breasted grosbeaks have returned. They are starving from their migration and will eat from the feeder less than 3 feet from my knees as I sit on the deck. Sometimes I'll have a dozen of them chowing down all at once. It's all males for now, but the females will arrive in a week or so - After the males have established territories. Gorgeous birds but they sure can pack away the groceries! I'll go through eight to ten cups of sunflower seeds a day at this time of the year.
