critter in attic
Okay - I have some sort of critter in my attic or in the walls of my house. How do I get rid of it without calling an exterminator. I was lying in bed last night and all of the sudden I hear something munching and crunching up in the ceiling. Needless to say, didn't get a good night sleep. Husband slept just fine, though. Guess that's the difference between men and women. Any ideas or suggestions? 
Bats in attic sm
True history: Child ill, hospital sent home with flu - she died from rabies - bite not visible due to hair. Seminar topic - true story.
What about the twins,
Olsen - their clothes remind me of the homeless people. I think fish when I see their faces.
Do you have bats in the house up in your attic??
We used to get these little gross brown bugs that look EXACTLY like bedbugs. They were from bats. These bugs will feed off bat droppings, as gross as that sounds. The house we moved into had bats in the attic...once we got rid of the bats the bugs were gone! Never had a lot like you do, but we had them. Look up "bat bugs" on Google.com and you can look at them.
I bet your twins are cuties...sm
Little girls are always cute too. You know, sometimes your siblings-in-law can be a pain in the butt. I used to have problems with mine but don't anymore. It sounds like to me your fiance's sis has been maybe saying some not too nice things about you or the twins. I don't know. That is just the way I would read into it. I wouldn't know what to make of it either. I can see why it bothers you. I would have probably commented under her post: "What does that mean?" I would probably message his sis or call her and ask flat out. It would bother me.
I used Raid foggers in my attic and in my basement. sm
But not in my living area, just above and below. They magically disappeared. I also used them above my false ceilings cause I saw the little buggers coming of a teeny tiny little space in the ceiling tile where the light sits. Haven't had any problems since.
ask how long she plans to stay as you need help cleaning out the attic or some
yuck job...
maybe?
My cousin had fraternal twins - boy and girl
They fought like cats and dogs when they were young. Major sibling rivalry. I've heard of even identical twins hating each other. Weird.
I think what you said below is the key - you can't control their feelings, but you can certainly control what they say when they are around you. You have to set limits on acceptable ways of expressing themselves - "I'm really angry at my sister" is okay, but "I hate my sister" is not okay, for example.
You're doing fine. Follow your instincts. Read the responses here and listen to what feels right and ignore the rest. You know your son better than anyone. I am confident you will handle the situation just fine.
oh yeah, also Sweet Valley Twins
funny I ended up with cute blond twins of my own!!
I am 40 and I still have my Baby Alive doll - packed away in my attic. Love her! sm
Gave her to my daughter when she was little and she loved her - now all her dolls and mine are stored away in the attic for the next generation. I can't get rid of them....don't know why... too many memories I guess. I love dolls.
I gave birth to twins, and I have to say they were not born the same minute.
nm
twins nor triplets would be born at same minute. must be split personality, LOL! nm

My kids have twins in their class named Steel and Stone. sm
Not quite as bad as stick and stone but pretty dang hokey if you ask me.
I've been told I have bats in my attic...and that I'm a french fry short of a happy meal, too!
My 2-year-old twins are potty trained. (1 wears pull-ups at night).

Flowers
I've had several close people die and frankly everyone bringing food is a good thought but we had to go to shelters to get rid of a lot of it.
Flowers for you!
Hi Hayseed!
I don't have your email address anymore, so I will send you to see flowers I chose for you! Have a great day! Hope this works.
Thank you for all your help in the past. I really appreciated it!

Oh you're killin' me with those flowers!
Man, it's gonna be weeks before we even see a hint of green, as first we have to go through "mud season" up here. April showers usually follow March's snow melt and boy oh boy is it a mess! I do think my pussy willows are about to come into bud and that's always a treat :) Usually it starts really greening up in May, but no one dares go outside to confirm it because of the friggin' black flies!
 Ah, gotta love New England!
I planted flowers! Too bad we were supposed
to be buying grass seed. We completely forgot the grass seed, and bought impatiens and flowering ground covers and tall blue flowering plants and some purple accent plants. Got some dirt too, and got on the road and said GRASS SEED?!!
I got the impatiens in, moved a dwarf hydranga that has never flowerered where it it is, and a put in a few other flowers and it started sprinkling and getting dark, so I had to come inside.
It was fun playing in the dirt again. But it's grass we need to make our yard look better. It's just not as fun as FLOWERS! http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif
I have no clue as to what type the flowers are
just know they are a beautiful shade of purple, hopefully still are. I just brought some English ivy back from his home and plan on planting that in something containable because would not put outside to run. Also, get this, I will have flowers galore when I finish. I am going to get some of his purple iris when they lose their bloom (which is July or the next 2 months) but I have places to put those out at my home. Just wish I could bring 1 of his big ole magnolia trees home. By the way south Georgia but do not know my zone- have seen on a planting map before but just not sure right now. My hydrangea, by the way, has bloomed big at the bottom of the plant but last years limbs are just dead- is this what they normally do? I really babied this plant, put covers over it when had some early frost so have really tried with it.
Do you mean cut flowers to bring inside,
or do you want an inside plant that blooms?
I am an outside gardener myself. If it's outside flowers you are interested, where do you live or what is your zone?
Late summer flowers
Maine is probably in the same zone as Siberia, so these may not work for you in Indiana.
My garden is now finally in full bloom, though we have not had the heat like the rest of the country and every day starts with fog. It is a very pleasant 75 degrees here right now and sunny.
Perennials currently blooming: Tall phlox, Rose of Sharon, butterfly bush, day lilies, yellow roses. Asters are loaded with buds. I put my indoor plants out for the summer and my Christmas cactus is huge and in full bloom!
Annuals: Geraniums, pansies (they came back full force after 'resting' in late June/July), inpatients, cosmos, trailing licorice, sunflowers, petunias, Helio double-pinks, phlox.
I don't allow my husband to buy overpriced flowers...sm
that day. When we were engaged he made the mistake of ordering flowers and we'll just say it turned into quite an ordeal that before it was over with I ended up with 13 dozen roses and couldn't get them to stop sending them every day or 2 (he ordered 1 small arrangement without roses and it went crazy from there!).
We'll probably just grill some steaks and swap out small gifts, nothing extravagant.
Thank you - belated card and flowers to you :-) sm
I can't figure out why some people get treated well and others don't. I think maybe those of us who take care of others a lot are just taken for granted...I just don't know what it is. Thank you for caring!
IGood smelling plants/flowers?
I love nice smell! I have loads of green plants in my home but would like to have ideas of something I can have on a regular basis inside that gives off a nice fragance. I do not have a clue as to what to buy and I would really like to know of something that would not require too much care. I can do the plants but do not have much of a green thumb. Thanks!
So, instead of carrying flowers down the aisle, didja

I got a vase of roses and other flowers mixed in ...sm
delivered from the local florist to my house. It was sweet.
The problem is that these drapes have pastelly pattern of flowers - sm
which I think is a beautiful pattern and at the time I had them made I figured she would not outgrow the pattern, but apparently she has. Now I have these really expensive drapes that I don't want to give up, but she is upset because she does not want them anymore. I thought if I could "paint" them or dye them with some other pattern, we could keep them and she and I would both be happy....[sigh]
Anyone have any ideas on how to clean artificial plants, flowers?
I do have the real things in my home but in the bedroom I have several plants and/or flowers that really need a good dusting. I do not think I should put them under water. I would rather have the real plants all over the house but have to be careful of some because of my furkids. Thanks!
Might be able to use fabric paint on some of the flowers and find a funky trim/border at a
