ants in the vanilla, wood roaches on the stove
Last Sunday a very large wood roach climbed up from the side of my stove to see what I was cooking. I was in the process of making breakfast for some visiting relatives and it's appearance reminded my wife of the expensive can of Robocan she wanted to purchase to keep roaches out of our abode. The product promises to rid the roaches from the home, all you have to do is mount the can on a wall so it can fill your home with a hydrocarbon propelled mist that contains pyrethrin, with a sythetic ingrediant that (after an email inquiry) is called piperonyl butoxide, a synergist, that helps pyrethrins to be more effective, and is not a pesticide. I was reading on the net that some meat processing plants use these products in Australia. Does anyone have any ideas about the safety of this product or better yet a better solution to our unwanted wood roach visits? Thanks in advance, RB

Re: RoundUp what we do
I would advise against burning poison ivy, at least without a hazmat suit. A neighbor almost expired after being exposed to its smoke, and I seem to remember hearing about a case where it resulted in a fatality. RB
support bill # HR 4814-labelling Genetically Engineered food
The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! Federal legislation has just been introduced in the House of Representatives to establish mandatory labels on all food products containing genetically engineered (GE) ingredients. There are currently thousands of foods on our supermarket shelves with ingredients from soy, corn, and canola and other engineered crops, without labeling or notice. There is no evidence that these foods are safe for the environment or public health because the Food and Drug Administration does not currently require safety testing or labeling. Take Action! Tell your representatives to support bill # HR 4814: Just go to: http://truefoodnow.org/bin/takeaction.fpl?action_id=128 Want to do more?

Re: ADMIN: No Attachements to this LIST!!! Re: Hydoponic BD 2
I recently received an email from a relative that informed me that he may have sent me a virus. As I don't remember receiving an attached file from him I was skeptical but when I followed his directions I found that I did indeed have it in my hard drive. Yesterday I sent his instructions for finding and deleting the virus to people I knew I had written to recently and this morning received one response saying that he too had the virus, but didn't remember receiving an attached file from me. I've never heard of a virus being transmitted without an attachment but as I sent a couple of emails to this list I thought I would send my cousins remedy anyway. Sorry for any inconvienience, here is his letter; Hey All- I got a letter from someone on my mailing list saying they had a virus which was probably passed on to me and anyone on my mailing list, ergo...You!! I did indeed have it, so I assume you're cursed also. Its easy to remove and is supposed to be dormant for 2 weeks so here's directions on how to remove it before its a problem: 1.) mash the "start" button on desktop 2.) go to "find or search" button 3.) in "search for files or folders" type insulfnbk.exe 4.) make sure your "c" drive (hard drive) is where its looking 5.) it has a black, ugly icon which you'll see, Don't Open It!!! 6.) right click on the file and then choose "delete file" thereby sending it to the recycle bin 7.) empty recycle bin, now you're ok 8.) let everyone else in your address book know too as evidently they got it if you do RB

Allan I'm afraid I didn't look before I leapt when I sent out that URL, the books that I've referenced through books-on-line are usually intact. I know how difficult M. Fukuokas books are to find I was a bit excited. RB
