Slugathon

I get to go out and be the Slug-Bait Fairy again today, tossing it about like sparkle-dust that magically eliminates slimy little daffodil-and-tulip-leaf-eaters.

How do you deal with slugs and snails where you are?

I used to try the 'toss them in the street to be run over' version when I was in CA, but I had a *lot* smaller yard and a main road nearby to crunch them before they could make it back to the sidewalk. I've considered those little slug-barns you fill with beer to drown them in, but the idea of having to dispose of little gloopy containers of beer-marinated dead slugs is enough to put me off my feed for quite a while. Bait makes me feel like an industrial criminal, waving chemicals over the earth, but hey...it works....

Back to slug-bait dust... *toss toss toss*

(no subject)

Got a call from an attorney - seems I am needed to take the stand as a witness for a friend of mine whose daughter has played with mine nearly all their growing up years, nasty divorce pending as it is... too many sorrows that are not mine to share with others - and now finding someone I have a lot of difficulties with will be witnessing for the 'other side.' And it is this Friday.

Pray that I may give my testimony just to judges and attorneys, and not have the additional emotional turmoil of dealing with someone who caused us much hurt in the recent past being in the same room, I haven't quite healed up enough from those events yet, and don't want it to rattle me when my friend needs me for support. It needs to not be about me or my emotions.

And that the decision rendered at the end will be truly just, whatever that may be.

I've never done this - I expect it is rather not like Perry Mason. Add it to the list of life experiences, I guess...
