I had two for a month when we were between closings on a move. When we first moved to LA I had one for a year while we were in an apartment, but moved everything out of it and quit paying the $90 a month to store stuff we weren't using. Gave a lot of stuff away and kept a washer dryer set for when we moved to a house.
I just need to know how much of his wealth is going to go to her, versus how much his well deserving children and possible grandchildren are going to get. That is the important question.

Bug identification and how to treat

My back porch and yard are infested with midges, what is the best way to treat them. Thanks for the help posting a pic.

They don't bite, but they swarm.
I only use distilled, the new bottles from WM have a screw top so its easier to travel with when driving. Otherwise if its one night I'll use bottled water, or go to the store and spend $1.50 on a gallon of distilled.

Our deal was as long as you were in the military or college you had a place, free. If not you better have a job, because the rent was now due. Rented from them for a little when I got out of the Marines, then bought that house when I got married.
Instead of the little balls, they can throw a Barbie out there.

I have had the 1250 from Academy for a little over a year, like someone else said, keep it cleaned out and it holds temps and it pretty consistent across a cook. Use good pellets. The only problem I had with it was when I was trying to do enough boston butts for 100 and I was tight on room. But for regular family cooks it works just fine.
Collards done right, like my wife does them, are objectively better.

Folgers 1850 Black Gold, the first of the pot goes in my cup with honey and half and half for the drive in, the rest goes in my Stanley bottle for the rest of the day to be drunk black.

The Folgers 1850 isn't too bad, I like it for an everyday office coffee. But I like my coffee dark, just not SBucks dark.
