Jumped up and put cornmeal on the counter by the fridge!

I had just purchased this the other day to make tamale casserole in the crock-pot. LOL

Now don't get discouraged at first if it seems like the cornmeal attracts more ants than you had. It very well may. I'd give it at least 48 hrs before you give up. I guess what happens is they can't digest the stuff and it kills them and before you know it--viola, they're gone.

What a cool co-inky-dink that you just got some cornmeal!! And how much better do you feel about putting cornmeal right on your counter than raid or an ant trap!!

lol! Just be thankful it's just ants coming up the drain and not things like frogs or snakes.

Yikes, Grooch! The ants we had were almost microscopically tiny. I think they are called sugar ants, not the kind we have outside. Is that what everyone else had?

I had already sprayed the bug spray and hated the smell and the feel and the having to wash every darn spot of my kitchen.

flylady would be proud of my kitchen, but I know I will not put things down on that side of the kitchen until I wash it a few more times.

Cornmeal just sitting there looks fine! Thanks for the idea.

Grooch, I did have a couple of sewer roaches this week too, but I know they are a fact of life. Way better to have big roaches than small ones!

Ok, update on ants. I have found none in kitchen for two days.

Tonight, I went to use restroom and I had 3 ants in my bathtub.

Thinking quickly, instead of using ant spray, I put out corn meal. 30 min later, I have 10.

I take that as a good sign. I am getting rid of ants long term and I do not have to smell the bug spray.

I also put a little pile of corn meal next to the front door.... in case they are coming in there.

Eat little ants, eat and die.

I have a question for you. I'm looking to watch a tv show online. It's called Dunham County. I can't find the first season of it anywhere. Not even Hulu. Any suggestions.

I can't find it anywhere. www.surfthechannel.com shows most of the options available for a show, but the only ones they list for that are ones I wouldn't click on (although they might actually be ok).

By the way, if anyone else is looking, it's DuRham County, with an R in the middle, not an N.

Ya know what? Someone has uploaded Season 1 episodes to YouTube (sort through to find the various episodes). I have no idea why the ION channel lists this as being the first season!

Link


ETA: I'm SO lying (but not on purpose). I guess they must just be trailers or something.

O.k., I'm seriously done. You can watch full episodes here, but have to fill out some survey or something first. Probably will fill your e-mail box with junk, but hey, if you really really want to watch...

KTBB, do you mean Dunham County, or Durham County?

If you really meant Durham County, then there's why you couldn't find it anywhere, cause of the typo. Here's the link to IMDB of Durham County to check if we're talking about the same thing.

Is there a reason why you want to watch it online? Looks like ION is playing the first season pretty much as we speak. The first Episode (What Lies Beneath) airs multiple times from Sept. 7 to Sept 12 on ION.

Thanks everyone. I wanted to watch it but I didn't know they were showing the first season on ion this year. I wanted to be caught up so I didn't miss anything. I hope we have ion on our package.

Does anybody know what instrument is being used for the main melody part in the original "Ryan's Hope" theme?

Here's a copy of it at youtube to listen to.

Naja, I tried doing a search, but no luck. I agree with Merry, it sounds like a flute or maybe a piccolo.

Thank you, Merry and Gumby :-) Now that you say flute, I do agree, it's probably a flute.

btw, the reason I asked is:
I listen to a lot of music and watch a lot of TV, but it's only when my 4 month dog hears the melody starting from the Ryan's Hope theme that she starts howling (I record the reruns on soapnet channel). She howls at no other music from anything else. She will wake from a dead sleep and start howling at it.

So after you guys said flute, I went to youtube and found some Chinese flute music...and sure enough, she started howling.

Naja, a beagle? Recently I was talking about beagles with someone. Beagles have reputation of being barkers. I don't remember that ours was. Just once, he actually bayed at the moon. He lived many years ago. When the "making of" Lady & the Tramp was shown on Disney program, he did react to chorus of dogs singing / howling during the scene where they were in jail.

No, my howler is a big black lab mix (although she looks pure black lab). I do also have a pure beagle, but she just barks at people walking by and when she runs the fence with the neighbor dogs.
