    Katydid Removal

    We have some huge katydids. They are loud and all over the place. How do I get rid of them? I've used a perimeter spray but I don't think it's done any good. Help!

    Good grief!

    Without getting to political, see what happens when you earn your house instead of having it given to you? I'm glad to hear you guys are pulling together. After what happened in New Orleans, I was afraid you guys were going to sit around and wait for your government checks.

    Arghh. Bad joke bad joke. Maybe mine was just a swamp gator and yours a farm gator? Not sure. Maybe it was the stick. Sticks come from swamps right?

    Question About Apt Complexes Nestor.

    I understand your point Nestor. I guess the issue I have is having people in my apt when I'm not there. I don't care who you are. I understand their right to it, it's their property, I just don't like it. In the future though I will inquire about the policy before I make the repair.

    Question About Apt Complexes Nestor.

    I've done repairs in the past and took them the receipt and had my rent prorated,but then the woman told me I had to attempt to let them get it done, then I could do that, but that she strongly discouraged tenants fixing their own issues. I just shrugged my shoulders.

    Question About Apt Complexes Nestor.

    I'm going to give it a try. I'm not the greatest handyman in the world but I can do all kinds of small projects well. The event coordinators are stupid. Reading more info on it they have parties and what not. Seems exactly like an old folks home. I'm trying a few more places, nut now I know how...

    Agreed Nestor. Has it let up there yet? I have a friend online that lost power and I haven't seen him back up yet, so I assumed the power is still out in parts of town.

    Question About Apt Complexes Nestor.

    Nestor my friend I thank you. I spent most of the day looking at places and using your criteria and sad to say most of the small places are now being run by property management firms. Aside from buckling and paying to much for nothing I don't know what else to do. One of the places said they...

    Question About Apt Complexes Nestor.

    I thought I was going to buy the house I was in. Now we are not. I can't find a house I like so my family and I are are moving into an apt. I'm trying to sign short term leases in order to keep my options open. To my experience the rent is raised at every lease signing. Is this normal, and if so...

    What's fair vs. What's reasonable vs. What's right

    That was epic reading Nestor. I'm glad it worked out. I'm glad you waited.

    Non Dairy Creamer

    I think Mythbusters did a thing about it and that stuff is horrible. I still drink it most every day but I thought twice after finding out it's flammable.

    I hate armadillos. There's not much can be done about them either. I staid up late one night trying to catch the one digging in my grandmas garden. Shot it with a .22 and had it ricochet. The moral? They don't make good hats. To hard.
