I worked at the Gulf Oil refinery in Port Arthur during the early 80's.

The jokes was "it's good to be from Port Arthur. far away from..."

However. Treasure island wasn't too bad.

I use 30 % vinegar, salt and a dab id Dawn, mix together in a sprayer.

Yes, its expensive. Yes, you have to repeat frequently as it doesnt kill roots.

Your an idiot! You order shite and then when you get a delivery your fricking mut tries to attack me? You damn right im smashing that frickers with the box and or anything else i can grab. And then the homeowner is gonna get pissed and come at me aggressively. Come in my space aggressively and in arms reach, well frick you and thats close enough for you to get smacked as well

That UPS driver had an attitude the moment he stepped out of his vehicle. He should be carrying an alternative to suppress overly aggressive or friendly dogs or not deliver to that address. He went out of his way to hurt that animal. That driver needs to be incarcerated for cruelty to animals.

Come smack me big man. I'll meet you at Sonic anytime.

re: Dog skunked

This is almost exactly my experience this morning.

We are all doing better.
Mae has had 3 peroxide and baking soda baths.
House still smells, but is getting better.

Thanks all for the replies

Dog skunked

Posted by Slingscode on 6/23/26 at 11:33 am

Early this morning my dog, Mae, was sprayed by a skunk.
I pretty much have her under control, smell wise, after 3 hydrogen peroxide, banking soda and dawn baths.

Worse part of this is Mae got in the house before i understood what had happened. The place is awful smelling at the moment
I've searched to see if/ where she cross contaminated anything, but haven't found anything yet.

Suggestions are most welcomed

One thought is that since it's taking them sooooo long to release these opinions, is that the minority is dragging their feet with the dissents. This may be a good sign.

Or maybe just wishful thinking.

re: Cooling audio/media closet

Posted by Slingscode on 6/21/26 at 8:31 pm to Neauxla

Just remodeled the living room. Our IT closet is there.
I asked the contractor to install an AC vent into the closet.
Can shut a damper to it in the winter.
