But should we just say "Oh well" to insects that are not Native? Or do we at least try an control or stop what someone has messed up. In the case of importing insects, animals or plants that are not native, we need to try an correct it. But I don't think man made chemicals are the solution either. Hence the use of Milky spore. I do like the idea of the birdbath too. Somethings balance themselves like the Lamprey eel introduced in upper Mississippi waters in the 70's. Turns out the fish loved them and you don't see them anymore. Or the Zebra mussels actually cleaning the waters. But in the case of JB the natural solution hasn't caught up yet.

Hi Melanie! Thanks for the update! I like it when you fill us in on what you've been up to, because you're one of the few KT members I've actually met. I'm so glad you're finally getting close to your career goal. That's been a long haul, and you are to be commended on your progress. You really have come a long way. I agree with what's been said here. Have fun with this new guy, but keep some space between you two until you get a lot further along in your career, and until you know him a whole lot better. This is not the time to go "off track". I agree his dad sounds like a charmer, and that always makes me suspicious. That's just me, though. I just want you to succeed, have fun doing it; and not get hurt.

You can do that with cell phones so it should be possible with all phones. If you use DND on your cell phone you can allow only callers in your contacts to call through - although I don't know if it allows messages from others. I'll have to check. eta, it does look like other callers can leave a message when you're in DND and allow only your contacts to reach you.
