    I used a rain gutter guard from home depot, $ 2.99 , all I did was shove it in the hose, stomps rodents from entering your air box for good. easy to remove too,

    Earlier this year, before my neighbor pointed out that the vines were the reason I kept getting poison IV, I tried all sorts of things. Calamine didn't do anything but get all over my clothes. I found the Clear Calamine totally by accident at Walmart.

    The other thing I use is Fels Naptha laundry soap. It comes in a bar and I used it in the shower after working in the yard. The combination of that and Clear Calamine worked great.

    For about $7.00 for both it's better than any prescription stuff I've used.

    Also remember to wash your clothes separately.

    Where can you find that soap?
    Yiu know what else helps, if you don't mind soaking in a tub, soak in epsons salt, helps dry it out quick.

    Yeah - when I KNOW I am going to be with that crap I wear clothes I just throw away after :D

    If you KNOW you got exposed, dish soap. It's just an oil, dish soap will work on grease where sometimes bath soaps will not.

    I got a weed trimmer..yay me!

    Pretty damn aggravating stuff re the interviews. Annoying enough when they look at you differently because you have an earring or something, but your choice in vehicles WTF

    Cheap and quick red flag. If they're going to deny you based on what you drive, they're going to nit pick and unfairly judge everything you do in your tenure there.

    Not fair really, but you have a point. It works both ways.

    The first job I dodged a bullet, the second one would have been really cool. I was chapped because the person that interviewed me wouldn't be anyone I would even be working with, the person I was meeting with was gone to an emergency or something and they needed someone to take up my time. I got from like 100 people down the final (3) and I'm certain if I had met with the actual people I would have worked with I would have been fine.

    But in the end I ended up transferring offices at my company and mostly love life.

    Yeah at least to get a fair shake would be nice, be it the end result you wanted or not. Go through the "not" part a lot at my company and it's really getting to piss me the fuck off.

    Work, swim, watching the Patriots and working now.

    Bringing the Rav4 to the dealer tomorrow AM. Grrr..touchscreen has been acting up a while and the Bluetooth calling is fucked. I replaced the microphone (hated to do it but it was cheap and quick) with no change. Not looking forward to it if there's not a software update.

    I thought I might have to get one, but the runner has a switch wheel set setting in the dash stuff, 20 minute drive, all reading well.

    Worked on my mountain bike, which I don't have set up as a mountain bike. If that makes sense. Need to pull the crank, but had to order a crank puller so the bike sits on the stand until tomorrow.
