buying a house is a huge deal. fixing it up completely by yourself is also a huge deal. i am highly impressed with the remodeling talents of my friends in asheville. they are able to do all the plumbing, electricity, and master carpenter wooodworking by themselves.

if you have a dog on a retractable leash and the dog starts hopping and bounding towards another oncoming dog, do not grab the cord of the leash hoping to stop the dog.

sunkist ad 1981

this commercial is absolutely seared into my memory from watching it when i was 5. when i came across a vintage sunkist t-shirt today with the same brand logo, i remembered the hands peeling the spouting oranges and the dripping orange at the end so vividly but thought it could've been an ad for something else. so thankful youtube had it. watch grandma mash an orange into her face -

ees no block weedow

after killing a spider behind the dryer last month, i looked at all the windows and corners of the house and found a couple more webs and spiders i thought could be black widows. i called my landlords and they had their friend who has a terminix business come over to look and spray. i showed him and the landlord the webs and the dead spider behind the dryer and the exterminator who is from brazil said "Ees no block weedow." i said "are you sure? it had a red spot on it?" he just shook his head chuckling & said "Ees no block weedow. You know block weedow? Ees big. Ees no block weedow" like i am a nutty broad. he said the spiders and webs i showed him are not poisonous spiders but he went around spraying all the corners with some horrible chemicals anyway just so i wouldn't worry & pronounced me spider free.

well i'm worried. the dryer needs real attention so i finally went down with tweezers & a plastic bag & put the spider carcass in there so i could look at it. how could an exterminator laugh me off that this is a black widow? it shrunk from being sprayed with bleach, but isn't this a red spot?




and still in the same window that i originally showed him is this lovely animal. is this not a black widow? am i a nutty broad? help me out here guy.







baby widows on the way?

won't you help to sing
