Drunk Slugs

Evidently it's a common known fact that beer attracts slugs. If you put some out at night, they will crawl into the liquid, party till the sun comes out and then drown. I'd never heard this until this year, but it definitely works.

My mother-in-law has been fighting to save her hostas from the hungry little guys and she gave about 50 a great going out party over Memorial weekend. Rest in peace little slimy fellows.

    EWWWWWWW! I did know that. I also remember Grandma Edna teaching me the torturous method of shaking salt on the poor guys and watching them fizzle...

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
