Yay for Tina Fey!

Sorry guys they took the video down because of copy right infringement. Oh well. At least I got to see it this AM!! I replaced the video with a pic.

In case anyone missed this Saturday Night Live skit like I did. She did a great job with the Sarah Palin's voice. Clearly she already had the looks! How awesome.

Rain, rain go away

I'm so sick of the rain and dampness. Everything feels so wet in my house.

We are forecast to have sunny days this coming week but it doesn't seem like it with that map. It looks like we are just going to be pounded with more and more rain. Even if we do have some sunny days coming up it looks like we will be hit with the last of Ike unless the jet stream changes dramatically.

Northern and Southern Erie counties are under flood watch right now.

Spiders

So I have a problem with spiders in my house and I was looking for a way to fix it naturally and I found this....

It is from ehow.com

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You'll Need:

* plastic spray bottle - garden type
* large canning Jar (glass or plastic with lid)
* old blender
* spiders (fresh and dead)
* Water
* Pantyhose
* Funnel

Step1
Capture spiders or kill and place in a jar. Get as many as possible from your immediate area as those are the ones you want to repel. 15+ is a good number.
Step2
Add warm water to the jar so that you have at least 3 cups of water covering.
Cover and swish lightly.
Step3
Now the tough part.
Pour spiders and liquid into the blender.
Puree on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute
Step4
Place panty hose (or long cut off toe section) ovee the top of the blender after removing the lid.
Step5
Place funnel into mouth of spray bottle and slowly pour the blender contents in. This will leave remains in the stocking and allow all liquid to pass to the spray bottle.
Step6
Discard stocking and place sprayer onto the spray bottle.
Step7
Mist along all windows, doors, attic vents, porch under roofing, attic spaces, boat spaces -- anywhere you want the spiders to find new places to live.

Normally within a week you'll be virtually if not fully spider free.

You might love spiders but I am sure nobody would like the ones that I have found crawling all over the place. The spiders in my back room look like the ones that are only around lakes and other water. Truly shocked at their size! I did get a spider bite once and it stayed for probably two months. This one woman I knew she got one and her whole arm turned leathery and gross. Anyways, I probably won't do anything cause there is only so much time in the day to do all the stuff that needs to be done. There are more remedies I haven't shared but seem interesting and much more pleasant. Probably they will just go away for the winter. I haven't seen any spiders at Roswell. Paul is probably right that there is food for them to eat so that is why they are here. The bugs fly in from the gaps between my screens and windows. My apartment really seems cottage like to me and I am not so surprised by the spider infestation.

imk2 writes at 08:15:51 09/13/08 - Comment #38865: i think it's the season for spiders or something. we have a ton of spiders in our house too, and at roswell. do they hatch at the end of the summer? didn't charlotte in charlotte's web take place during the summer and didn't she die at the end of the summer right before her babies hatched?

metalpeter writes at 05:53:37 09/12/08 - Comment #38850: Just so you know in some cultures spiders are considered lucky.

tinypliny writes at 11:03:57 09/11/08 - Comment #38831: How weird. And somewhat evil. What if someone did that to humans. I bet that would work very well.

paul writes at 10:32:44 09/11/08 - Comment #38829: I love spiders. If you have a spider problem, it probably means you have a bug problem, otherwise they would move. If they leave you might end up with a bug problem, which I think - is way worse.

james writes at 10:24:17 09/11/08 - Comment #38828: what the heck?

Please photo document this and let me know how it works.

janelle writes at 10:15:57 09/11/08 - Comment #38827: I have happily switched to vinegar and baking soda for cleaning, but I absolutely could not do that.

So happy I don't have a spider problem.

St. Pete Pride 6/28

The UGLY
"I can justify myself before God" Larry Keffer Telephone:
813-376-8888

See who is the man behind the hate.

He is the same man that is responsible for spreading hate in Buffalo at Thursday at the Square and at the Pride parade.

Now the good...

The pride parade starts at 10am because of the heat. It was very hot anyways even at 10am.

My Mom and her husband Joe.

I have more pictures but they are getting an error message when I try to load them. I'll try again later to get the rest of them out.

This is the error message I am getting.

name = IMG_0420.jpg
size = 384070
type = .jpg
error = 500
errorType = 1

The pics i'm having trouble with are one's that I took on my mom's camera. Didn't have any trouble with the ones I took with my own.

Mikey's birthday

I had such a great weekend celebrating his birthday. Packed with fun and ended in both he and I winning big at the Seneca Nation Casino in Niagara Falls. I won $20 and he $26. This is the first time that we both won. Dinner with his parents and (e:paul), (e:matthew) and (e:terry) was really great. Of course Mike's mom put on quite a spread.

Happy Birthday Mikey! A Lion King was born 8/31!

The lion seen on Virginia at Delaware was commissioned by (e:mike). I framed it for his birthday and it looks pretty good framed. Mike loves this lion and it is very close to being lost forever.

This is Tran Zoo Vania also commissioned by (e:mike). This I made for his birthday card. Does anyone know what this place was??

Cell phone outage

The storm we are having is so great. My cell phone has been working for about a half hour or so. I do hope everyone is OK with the lightning striking and everyone being out. Luckily did not get soaked.

Went with (e:mike) and his mother to the Elmwood Ave art festival. That was so much fun hanging out with the two of them. His mom came and sat on the porch for a while too and saw my new place. Also went again to the festival with my friend Justin whom I haven't seen in forever. It was nice to see him again. The festival was excellent. The garden parade was one of the best parades I have seen. Music, dancing and the scary masks were all so awesome.

(e:mike) so if you see this you know why I can' t call you. Sent you an email.

Economic Stimulus

Economic stimulus takes on a new meaning with Bush's tax rebates. I was listening to 970 AM when I heard that the latest economic stimulus checks are being used for pay pornographic websites. Now that is why I call economic stimulus.

I love my netti petti

My netti petti is awesome! I have been using it two days and no longer have a soar throat from talking all day at work and I can breath so much better. Because I am getting more oxygen I feel more energetic and happier than I have in a long time. I really had no idea how bad my sinuses were! It's just like a tea pot that has a spout and you pour the saline solution in one nose and out the other.

There are ants ALL over my kitchen (old apt). It seems most people in old homes have ant problems.

What is with these new parking meters all over? What a waste of money. Who wants to walk almost a block away to get a ticket and then back again to put it on your dashboard in the winter so that you can park on the street?

ladycroft writes at 09:30:18 06/12/08 - Comment #35963: happy happy birthday!!

libertad writes at 09:01:44 06/06/08 - Comment #35800: uncut, i do love that OMD song. Thanks for clarifying. I have to admit that I found it kind of disturbing when I saw it because I didn't understand why you were using it. It seems like we had a conversation about the Enola Gay before but I couldn't remember what was said or why we even talked about it. Here is a clip of OMD on youtube. :::link:::

lady, these are available just about anywhere. I'm sure if you can get some birth control over the counter they will have them in Dohar as well. If you can't find one I can see about sending you one if you want. I'm not sure if the parking machines are all over the city but on my way home from work I saw them on Allen and on Elmwood.

felly, it is good im leaving. Those ants wont go away even after I cleaned the whole kitchen last night. I don't want to, but I think I will have to get an ant trap.

fellyconnelly writes at 07:30:18 06/06/08 - Comment #35799: i say its a good thing you are moving soon, huh? And this netti petti thing sounds interesting...

ladycroft writes at 04:13:41 06/06/08 - Comment #35795: 1. where did you buy this netti thingy? i seriously need one, the sand is killing me here!

2. really? buffalo put those ticket meters all the way through the city? they had em downtown (and it sucks when one of the machines is broke).

uncutsaniflush writes at 09:42:18 06/05/08 - Comment #35787: I think I saw this photo again around the time Paul Tibbetts, the man in the photo and the pilot of the Enola Gay, died last year. The photo was taken right before the plane took off to bomb Hiroshima.

The plane is named after his mother. And the bomb, itself, ironically enough was called "Little Boy." I like the OMD song of the same name.

I'm a pacifist. I don't think that there any such thing as a "just war". I believe, as Ghandi said, that the ends and means are linked morally. I use the photo with a deep sense of irony.

I think it is a interesting photo. Tibbetts is waving. Without knowing the context, no one would guess he would soon be on his way to destroy an entire city and kill many thousands of people.

libertad writes at 08:42:50 06/05/08 - Comment #35785: You are so right uncutsaniflush, my reference to the Netti Petti was the Netti Pot. I'm just curious...why do you have the Enola Gay as your userpic?

uncutsaniflush writes at 08:07:13 06/05/08 - Comment #35783: If memory serves, Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario have had similar parking kiosk machines since at least the turn of the century when I first noticed them. So, if one were so inclined, one could say that once again Buffalo is copying Toronto. And, again, if memory serves, Downtown Buffalo near City Hall has had them since about 2005.

As for people, being unwilling to walk in the winter to pay for parking, the City of Buffalo is A-OK with that. That's why there is a Parking Enforcement Department. The City makes more money from a parking ticket than it does from someone paying the meter.

(e:libertad) - What in the world is a "netti petti". Both Google and Wikipedia don't give me a clue other than netti petti is a Finnish and/or Hindi phrase. From the context, I wonder if you are referring to a Neti Pot :::link:::

libertad writes at 07:44:45 06/05/08 - Comment #35781: I hate the government. They are so fucked. I didn't even think of that paper thing. Did anyone hear this was going to happen cause I had no idea.

paul writes at 07:11:34 06/05/08 - Comment #35779: Think about it, its also a huge waste of paper. And what else is obviously a money maker for them is there is never any left over time. You drive away with your pass so the next person has to pay to part from scratch. In the current system you almost always had some time left over from the last person.
