    Rodent repeller gizmos....has anyone tried these?

    There are humane ways to kill a rat/mouse. A big, old-fashion 'snap' trap is such a thing. The post that caused me to respond was a person offering a recipe (edible) that causes unbelievable suffering as the rodent dies. Why would anyone want to do this? I cannot enjoy comfort at the...

    How can I secure my van's doors against someone breaking a window to reach in and opening the door?

    Cat Converter theft has being around for awhile, EXCEPT now--as of 10 days ago--even the Justice Dept is actively going after the people. (BTW: here in Davis, CA, it's been crazy because of how easy it is to snatch a bunch of those converters & then jump on I 80 and be gone.) We have a 2010...

    Rodent repeller gizmos....has anyone tried these?

    What do you do with your dog when you have to go shopping for food?

    Amen and thank you. I have a LEGAL service dog..with all manner of training certificates & ID card, etc. That's because I have a disability and she is trained to help me during an emergency. BTW: It is NOT a matter of having your dog 'trained' and then never keeping up with her training. My...

    Hello from California

    Dear all: I think one of the reasons I'm here is because my dad liked to roam around, because he was kind to the "gypsies" --and kind to many people who 'don't fit in' as my mom would say...and because, well, I'm not sure.      Right now, honestly, the thought of having no regular home is...
