Some people are so rude! I was in Walmart, getting ready to get get the last package of Bibb lettuce on the shelf. A teenager reached in front of me and knocked my hand away so he could get it.

Well that sucks lemons. Keep us up to date on this mystery.I had a duck sitting on a nest for the past month. Now she is just gone. No sign of her no sign of her eggs. They should have hatched. Another duck had a nice nest started. Whole bunch of eggs in it. Its gone too. Every time they get a good pile going they dissappear. I don't know what the heck is going on.

Vicious little vampire, I had one zipping and buzzing around me last night. Tried to kill it when it landed on my arm...gave myself a red mark that lasted about an hour. Then I heard her buzzing around my head - kept making sweeping gestures over my head, trying to send it off in Himself's direction. Nope, still buzzing. Then I see and hear it going past my face, raise my hand quickly to swat it...and plow my thumbnail straight into my lower lip. Dang, the lip wouldn't stop bleeding. Held a paper towel with ice cubes wrapped inside to it for about 10-15 minutes. The bleeding stopped, but I thought I had given myself frostbite. Today, I look like I got into a fight, what with my swollen lower lip. Anyone say anything to me and I'll have to reply "So, you should have seen the OTHER guy!"
About that other "guy", AKA mosquito. Dang her, she ended up getting two bites out of me. Pardon my while I go scratch the bumps...

Could the ducks have gone because the eggs have been stolen? Could the thief be rats? They have been known to take whole eggs away (my grandmother was a farmer's daughter and not given to telling me "porkies")I had a duck sitting on a nest for the past month. Now she is just gone.

I don't think so. They are Just gone. I moved them into a new coop with a decent fence. One of the hens I have left already made a nest. Maybe I will get something yet.Could the ducks have gone because the eggs have been stolen? Could the thief be rats?

What a pain, Caslon. We have smoke detectors that have battery back-up, but to change the battery Himself has to detach the unit from the ceiling. It connects with a bayonet mounting to the ceiling, and when he drops it down to change the battery he also has access to the clip that connects the wires into the electrical wiring. All he has to do is squeeze on the clip and pull gently and *tada* the smoke detector is in his hand and mercifully silenced.It's 3:00 AM in the morning. The wired smoke detector in the hall starts beeping LOUD every 30 seconds. The hard wired smoke detector demands a 9v battery as back up. You don't have a 9 volt battery to shut it up. You almost want to tear the smoke detector off the ceiling. You have to make a trip to the store to buy a 9V battery to stop the beeping.
It's meant to saves lives, no doubt. 3:00 AM in the morning every 30 seconds. BEEP! No 9V battery in the house!
