Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, February 4th 2014. Pantry moths! Arrrgh! Roomie and I have spent much of today emptying out the pantry, scrubbing it, throwing out contaminated food, washing plastic containers… and all the other stuff you have to do to get rid of the little beggars. None of the stores nearby have any of the sticky things that catch the strays we might have missed, so we’re clearly not the only ones in town who are dealing with them at the moment.
Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it?
Extra Credit Question:
Please feel free to share extra details…
Have you ever –
Boot-scooted (line dancing)?
Travelled in an ambulance (as driver, passenger, patient or accompanying a patient)?
Flown over an ocean?
Prepared a meal that was so awful no-one would eat it?
Gone out somewhere with your T-shirt on inside-out or back-to-front?
Bonus Question:
How old is the oldest member of your family and how old is the youngest member (can be immediate or extended family)?
Just for fun:
Today is Stuffed Mushroom Day. What’s your favourite stuffing for mushrooms?
Thought for the Day:

Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it? I had a wood beetle in my wood kitchen cabinets. Nasty stuff because they are so little (<3mm)
Not sure why it is called "wood" beetle, because it was making holes in just about everything - from paper bags, wax paper, even those hard gravy mix pouches
That pulled the trigger on a dreaded kitchen remodel.

Have you ever –
Boot-scooted (line dancing)? Yes, yes!! Very popular here in Texas! Fun to dance
Travelled in an ambulance (as driver, passenger, patient or accompanying a patient)? Many times ( at work)
Flown over an ocean? Many times, when visiting my homeland.
Prepared a meal that was so awful no-one would eat it? I don't remember to cook so awful - small disasters did happened, but I was able to salvage it.
Gone out somewhere with your T-shirt on inside-out or back-to-front? Yep. Went to a dinner date wearing a blouse inside-out...
I didn't see the difference, and my partner was too gentleman to say anything, but when I glanced over my shoulder, I saw the seams and was mortified. It was bothering me till I discretely went to the bathroom and changed.
Later on we were laughing about that, because I am known to wear mismatched socks too... lol
Bonus Question:
How old is the oldest member of your family and how old is the youngest member (can be immediate or extended family)? No one from my family is alive anymore, except my son, and he is .... well... you know, much younger than me
Just for fun:
Today is Stuffed Mushroom Day. What’s your favourite stuffing for mushrooms? Love stuffed portobello mushrooms. They are so big that you can stuff them with just about anything. My favourite is: stuffed with goat cheese, artichoke, roasted tomato and spinach, or sausage stuffing, or crab stuffed and grilled.
Thought for the Day:
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. (Betty Reese) Hahahahaha.... !! I shared my bed with a mosquito many times. They, indeed are very effective!

When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it?
When we first bought the house we live in, it hadn't been occupied for nearly three months and was infested with some type of brown bugs I haven't seen before -- not cockroaches, I know what those look like -- but about the same size. They were everywhere! We were able to get rid of them with bug spray before we moved in, and they never came back.
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever –
Boot-scooted (line dancing)?
No, I've visited Texas, but I wasn't there long enough to learn how to line dance. I did go to a watermelon seed spitting contest.
Travelled in an ambulance (as driver, passenger, patient or accompanying a patient)?
No, and I guess that's a good thing. Flown over an ocean?
Yes, both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Prepared a meal that was so awful no-one would eat it?
The turkey was rancid at my first Christmas dinner as a newlywed, and we had to eat sandwiches instead. I learned the hard way that fresh poultry doesn't keep more than a few days in the fridge. The smell was awful! Gone out somewhere with your T-shirt on inside-out or back-to-front?
No, but I've worn my stretchy exercise pants backwards. I realized something was wrong when I reached for the back pocket, but it was in the front.
Bonus Question:
How old is the oldest member of your family and how old is the youngest member (can be immediate or extended family)?
The youngest is probably my cousin's granddaughter, who is less than a year old. The oldest is an aunt who is 90.

Gosh, I don't know. There's usually a bunch of different chopped-up ingredients in stuffed mushrooms, so I'm never too sure exactly what I'm eating.

Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it? Hmm I think the last time was when I was a teenager and we would get flying ants in the porch every year. I don't think we ever actually dealt with them, just waited for them to go away

Have you ever –
Boot-scooted (line dancing)? Oh yes, when I was in year 7 in school they stopped girls doing football in P.E. and made us do line dancing instead. I hated it but apparently I was rather good at it.
Travelled in an ambulance (as driver, passenger, patient or accompanying a patient)? Twice as a patient - once being transferred from one hospital to another as the first didn't have the department I needed, and once called out to my home cos I was having scary hallucinations
Flown over an ocean? Not an ocean, just seas

When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it? Ladybugs. They don't bother me, so I let them be. Then, while teaching summer school the kids dropped crumbs of snacks & in trooped the ants. We had a line of ants coming through the door. Kids were fascinated. I called for the custodian...

Kobber;33318197]Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, February 4th 2014. Today’s Question:
When was the last time you had to deal with an infestation of any kind (ants, cockroaches, moths, mice, wasps… whatever)? What was the infestation and how did you deal with it? Thanks, Kobber! I just sent Dirt Grinder a note about this. 10 days ago, hubby and I had enough of boxelder bugs! So we took matters in our own hands and cut down a 75' foot tall boxelder tree at the corner of our front yard, sawed up the logs, and stacked them. Neighbors came and took the logs away for the fireplaces. In the beginning, it didn't seem like a monumental job, but after we got started....WHEW! Darn bugs were starting to creep in crevices & cracks of this old house and we were on a mission! Time will tell if the boxelder bugs are gone, but I'm seeing less and less of them. We're pretty proud that we managed to do this, had no disasters, and no aches and pains....We're 74-75 years old. Now, we're ready to tackle whatever BIGGER job comes along! Lots of times many of us don't know what we are capable of.
