Well, I always thought that Flik was a little, shall we say, creative. And, I hear, he hangs out with that cute Dave Foley guy.

Why do you have a picture of Margaret Thatcher entertaining her grandchildren while some workman tests the phone?

Heehee! I'd mojo you but I can't at the moment.

I came home to more dead ants in the bathroom. Not as many as I thought I'd see, but still. It feels pointless to clean them up...

Clean them up and wipe the area down with 409 or something like that. Dead ants put off a phermone that attracts other ants to their body.

I wonder if I'm putting out out dead ant pheremone. That would explain a lot.

There is some technical name for these ants - there really is, though I can't think of it. There are a variety of smaller black ants that live in smaller colonies and will typically make their homes under cabinetry. I used to have this problem in my kitchen. I was told that to solve it you need to drill a small hole in the baseboard going through to underneath your cabinet. You then can pump a small amount of a dry powder under the cabinet and plug it. I purchased everything I needed at Home Depot.

The roaming rodent pulled out a couple of rags we have stuffed in a hole in the kitchen (it leads under the sink and behind the dishwasher-if not plugged she gets in there) and a whole new crop of dead ants came out. Little fart was trying to steal the rags to stash them under the couch, but they were dropped right in front of the hole. I guess she got the heebie-jeebies from all of the carcasses.
