EEEWW!!

Before I move on to more serious topics- I'd just like to post a quick little rant in relation to cleaning and household junk- so if you'd prefer a more intelligent posting or something with a little more uhm- how shall we put this- no- just blunt- something that might actually be a little interesting :)- then move on to the next post in line :)--ANYWHO- When you have a 3 person household- or god forbid there be more at this current moment in our lives- and only one person cleaning- things can get pretty damn nasty... no joke- i just did dishes and cleaned up around the kitchen- and i really wanted to puke- things had gotten a little backed up while i was sick- because well... let's just face it- Dave doesn't clean :) now i have to give him some credit :) he's been just as sick as I have- but he's done less than a tenth of the work that I've done- i think in total he maybe did 3 loads of laundry since the start of the year- and he's finally close to having fixed my lawn mower- so i might actually be able to cut the ENTIRE yard soon- for the first time this year- astonishing no? (long story- belt issues, now some missing spring and a blown gasket- man i hate hand-me-down crap lol) this has probably been our worst year thus far in terms of keeping up with necessity household tasks-and this- compounded by the fact that we have a horrible mouse infestation that our cat cannot seem to keep up with (give the poor guy a break :) he's fat and lazy and only cares about the mice if they try to get at his food) aaanyway- i figured out how the nest near the kitchen has subsisted for so long- apparently in a box from Christmas we had a huge package of ramen noodle type things and well- they chewed a hole in the box and ate ALL of the noodles- so- there's the answer to that problem- maybe now if i can get rid of any other unknown food source- they'll go back next door where they belong lol :) (or hey- i don't know- maybe out on that giant brush pile in the back where the rabbits live peacefully and we don't give a damn?? just get out of our house! lol) aaanyway- just a little grossed out from having (almost) finished cleaning my kitchen- i can't take anymore tonight though- i might wind up losing my appetite for a week- anyway- onto more interesting topics? :) lol- thanks for reading

LOL! Candidate Matching?? :)

Politics... not one of my most skilled subjects :) but i know a bit-- have had a little correspondence with our senate members over the past few years-- but past that-- i guess i'm out of the loop sometimes-- I know what things i want changed-- but i dont always know what bills are up for debate ect ect-- unless of course it regards cigarette taxes or farming legislation-- and a few issues regarding animal testing plant building sites--- but... past that-- i only know what's going on after its been voted on-- i've been trying to become a bit more involved over the past couple years-- but its not going well quite yet :)
ANYWHO :) in case you're still interested (just had to make a little disclaimer because i'm not 100% set in my views on any candidates and such just yet) -- I came accross a few sites that had candidate matching quizes-- that just seems so foreign/odd to me... i mean... how are you supposed to trust that site to not be serving its own agenda? lol :) has anyone ever used these things?? :) I tried one of them-- but it was way off-- so i either wasnt concentrating enough and wasnt answering to the best of my abilities lol (dont know how THAT happens :) ) or it just kind of randomly sticks you with whoever answered EXACTLY as you did-- because-- i mean i had some candidates up there on my list that were WAY off-- where as other candidates who were closer in view to me on more issues but not exact on quite as many were further down-- hell-- i had a couple candidates i really like not even show up on my list-- sooo :) if anyone knows of a good version of that type of thing let me know lol :) the test lets you gauge importance for the issues-- but really... i just dont think its all that accurate-- but it did fill me in on a couple of candidates i had not yet looked into :) soooo :) my job in the next few months is to do a little more research on Mike Gravel and possibly Joseph Bidden--- because i dont know much about them but from what i was seeing they MIGHT be close on some issues for me-- I was really disappointed though-- because i really had come under the impression that Bayh was running (But it appears he is not due to the fact that he feels it would mean he would have to be virtually absent from the senate :( which-- i respect-- but... I think it would have been interesting :) though-- we do have a lot of interesting folks in there already so :) i guess i'm ok with it) I dont know Bayh's exact stances on some of the issues that are fairly important to me in this election anyway-- but i have had very positive interactions with him in correspondance through letters over the past couple years.. so would be interested to see-- and havent had much time to really read through all of his stuff on his site... ANYWAY :) just thought i'd let you know i had a little chuckle at my results on one of those candidate matchers :) ask if anyone knew of one that was fairly accurate ect :) I'll shut up now :)
Have a Nice DAY!! :)

Insects!! :)

So, yesterday i found this little critter on my porch-- not sure what it is-- its new to me anyway-- if anyone has any ideas let me know :) beautiful little insect really-- friendly from what i can tell-- has wings-- but cant fly-- i'm guessing because she's dying from the cold though-- he/she doesnt spray anything (Which is what i thought would happen at first because of the shape of her tail end-- and i didnt hold her so i dont know for sure that the little appendage on her mouth is used for plants but i'm pretty sure it is-- but it resembles the mouth of a mosquito.... anyway....thought i'd share him/her kept her overnight until i could get my camera working and now she's back on my porch where i found her/him


ANSWER: I found my answer :) it is a wheel bug :) (assasin bug) it feeds on softbodied prey (ie:caterpillers and japanese beatles)
