squirrel problem
Comments (89)I negotiated a deal with the squirrels to only take their fair share of my fruit. At first they kept their promise and life was good; I ate persimmons, peaches, tomatoes, cherries, strawberries and pears. Then they got greedy and broke their agreement, taking most of the fruit. I told my wife, "I'll show these squirrels who is boss here." She smirked! I bought a live trap and caught and relocated 13 squirrels in one year. The squirrels snitched on me and the local police told me it was unlawful to relocate squirrels even to a new beautiful woods. My wife smirked! I caught 7 more and drowned them in a garbage can; I smirked at the ones that got away. The squirrels obviously negotiated a deal with the crows and ground squirrels because they started taking more fruit. I bought a pellet rifle. I told my wife, "I'll show these squirrels who is the smarter!" My wife said, "That ship has sailed." What did she mean by that?...See MoreSquirrel Problem Please Help
Comments (3)Yeah they're really starting to bug me, if I wasn't at school I'd be sitting out on my deck waiting for them to come by and fry them up like taz6122 said :P But I'll probably try something like that because my poor VFT's are being really abused. I kind of wish the first frost would come already so I could bring them inside....See MoreSquirrel problem
Comments (6)I don't know how to resize them in this instance. I would think that you have to have it the size you want when you put it on gardenweb. Have you tried putting them on photobucket and using the edit function? It also may have something to do with the camera setting. The way mine is set, it takes BIG pictures. That's not a problem until I run out of free space at photbucket. When I am working on a photo I want to put on the internet, I can resize it in an old program I have called Microsoft Picure it. It can size it by the number of pixels or by inches. I'm sure lots of photo editing programs can do it. See, mine are huge. I just tried it. You can do it on photobucket. Click on your picture and it will come up in a window by itself. Place your cursor on the photo and a bar will come across the top. One of the options is resize. You'll have to figure out how it works. I just used it to rotate the photo I posted of my ugly hosta with the little dead side part the squirrels killed. Well, it didn't work. I am looking at the photo on photobucket, and it's flipped. However, it's not picking up the changes in the code. I'm not sure why. It should work, whether you have to close the file or somehting to change it, I'm not sure. Thanks for the rock suggestion. I'll do that. I have some in the garden shed, so adding them to Frances Williams will be a good trial. Bkay...See MoreFinally, a solution to the squirrel problem
