Boric acid is useful for many things. They even put it up in suppository form!
What did you do today?

I'm going to have to put some in the pantry bc the roaches managed o get in. Brother sprayed peppermint oil in there but that will only deter them for awhile.
I'm going to have to go scorched earth with the boric acid.

I was reading up on solutions for tackling roach infestations and, believe it or not, cats make formidable weapons to aid in the fight against the little buggers. Put those cats of yours to work!
Lead water pipes at Pompei, but copper drain lines? Our view in Sorrento, Italy today. 
In the past we've only had s,ome luck with the boric acid powder, tablets.., the roaches just sneered at them. We've tried Avion gel with pretty good luck. It's just a little pricey, if you could just buy one tube..... but it does work
Massive water leak in Frank Lloyd Wright’s house.
Dare I ask what that second picture portrays?
The body of the person who died in Pompei? Or the shell of it bc it sort of fossilized. I'm trying to figure out if the person had boots on or something. Couldn't make out the texture/lines.
The cats and dogs have been hunting the roaches but there are too many of them and they go places the cats and dogs can't reach.
Yesterday sucked. I was sick most of the day. My sister called for my birthday but my brother also picked up and then interrupted me, talked over me, and screamed at me for trying to talk so I hung up and messaged my sister an apology but said I didn't need to have him screaming at me. I took a nap. After the phone call my brother barged into my room to yap at me while I was taking medicine and I didn't respond. He called me an a$$hole and left. Haven't spoken with him since.
I then napped until after midnight. Mom hadn't realized it was my birthday and apologized. I got her something to eat and went back to bed. She made up for it today by going with me into town. We hung out at friend's house for a bit and I played with the kittens. Even got Mom to hold little Kelebrimbor. He's such a sweet little kitty. Friend's grandfather rolled up and laid on the horn trying to get him to come out and then drove off. He did that about 3 times while we were there. If my friend gets the house deeper into town the old man won't be able to get away with that. Too close to the police station. If he rolls up and pulls that crap like he usually does, the cops will be able to hear it from the station. It can also be heard from the library, post office, high school, banks, etc.
Friend's mom had been there before we got there. She'd come into his house, went to the laundry room, took his wet clothes out of the washing machine, threw them on the floor, and then put her stuff in the machine. So now my friend has to wash his clothes again. Hellbeast couldn't even be bothered to put his stuff in the dryer. She doesn't even knock before entering, just barges right in.
Went into Walmart for a couple of things, grabbed Subway sammich for Mom, and then headed home.
Just ate and am resting.
