I bought some from Home Depot and it works well for me. I may try to make my own batch to test it out this spring. In addition, Jerry Lehman showed me an easy way to get of deer by placing a laundry bounce strip on the lower branch of your fruit tree, Deer hates the smell of it.

Wait. Can we rewind this discussion? A Leopard slug? Really? I thought they only ate rotting debris, as well as other slugs. In other words, they are good slugs. They love the compost areas and work damn hard over there, and I have never seen them eating any living tissue off my plants. I have seen them eating other slugs, the kind I do see eating green leaves on my plants. I have some self sowing seed plants in my garden as well as tender lettuces we grew last year. I have seen none of these disturbed by the Leopard slugs. And actually, I think our bad slug population may be down. Are you sure a Leopard slug was the culprit? I've spent tons of time watching and photographing them during the night. I think they are so cool looking. I love the leopard slugs and they are welcome in my garden. I encourage them by keeping pockets of dried leaves packed down in corners against the stone walls they like to hide in. I had them in my last garden several blocks over and at my studio space pot garden, but not here until about four years ago. I was glad when they finally showed up. Right, I know… I get the grossed out looking at rows of dead squirrels but go out of my way to photograph the Leopard slugs in the garden in the middle of the night. At least the leopard slugs are alive for their photo shoots. :) And no worries about the link Lucille! I'm a big girl and the web is full of all kinds of weird, wonderful and creepy things. We are all responsible for our own clicking! :) For the record, I've been a serious vegetarian since around 1984 or so, so I spend very little time looking at dead things, either in the back of a truck like the pictures or at the grocery store. I'm not sure where I thought the "gallery" tab would lead me. Not there, though! Poor little squirrels. I can't even kill the white slugs I pick of my plants. I gather them in a tupperware and put them next door in the wooded yard of the neighbor or in the hellstrip by the road. A bit nutty, maybe, but I like to feel I still fit in on this board, none the less.

Speaking of trip advisor reviews, one of my favorites was for a restaurant in Paris. Almost all of the 300+ reviewers mentioned how they discovered this wonderful little restaurant, filled with locals and not tourists. First of all, didn't anyone notice 299 other people have already reviewed it so they really weren't the only tourist to stumble upon it. Second, unless you speak French and can differentiate regional accents, how do you know the other diners aren't French tourists, some hick from the sticks, and not an oh-so-glamorous-Parisian-from-the-hood? I'm sure many reviewers thought they blended right in and that the staff assumed they just moved onto the Rue. D'accord. I can't stand the baking bread smell from Subways. I usually LOVE baked bread and the aroma (swoon) but their smell is just wrong to me somehow, almost chemical? Besides that smell, I don't eat lunch meat or mayo based salads so I don't go there. My area doesn't have many of the above listed chains, because we're too small not because we have impossible food standards, so it's great I can file away a few names for future travel when I can't pack my own food. Last month while in NYC, we did eat at a Pret A Manger. And Magnolia Bakery (another swoon). I will eat at a Chipotle. I've noticed they definitely give my husband more food than they give me, which is fine based on our sizes, but it's also wrong based on we pay the same amount. I'm getting slightly cheated! It has happened more than once, in different states. It's bizarre.

Homebody here too. My homes are my sanctuary. Ours are not that far apart, only a 50 minute drive. Our primary home is in the suburbs and our vacation home is at the beach. Our house at the shore truly feels like a vacation / get away each time we are there. It feels as though my stress melts away as soon as I see the water! Our ultimate goal is to sell our primary home and move to Florida when our son goes to college in 6.5 years. Then we will keep the shore house in NJ, have a house in Florida and go in between. Like Mtn, I also feel guilty about the vacations we take during the season but having another home is not going to stop me from traveling.
