This has been such an exciting experience for me.<br />Slugs or snails don't seem to bother me (probably because I rarely see them) but I do go crazy with sugar ants in the spring. They love to come in through the window after it begins to warm up and it is so hard to get rid of them. I try to be positive and think it is truly a sign of warmer weather and beautiful things to come but that only works some of the time. I really enjoyed meeting you and reading your post.Ginnyhtt://www.ginnylennox.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-59510890639497371882011-04-29T21:12:50.249+01:002011-04-29T21:12:50.249+01:00hugs to you Sara - love that you have a similiar i...hugs to you Sara - love that you have a similiar issue lol.<br />Off to your blog right away xxxCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-20369827729884712772011-04-29T15:06:55.999+01:002011-04-29T15:06:55.999+01:00Carrie,

I loved how you talked feeling differently about the snail versus the slug:~) <br /><br />When I visit the beach, I feel the same thing about hermit crabs and regular crabs. Hermit crabs are a different type of crab, but my reaction the Hermit crab with it shell home is to go...AWWWW..isn't he cute. Whereas, my reaction to regular crab is to run:~)<br /><br />Favor to ask: I have a guest at my site who has written a fiction story. It's her first time putting one up at someone's site.

I have another question - well two really - why when so many people lob snails doesn't one land on someone's head and why in evolutionary terms have they not yet developed wings?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-57377341107763942552011-04-28T18:11:45.715+01:002011-04-28T18:11:45.715+01:00Paul and Melanie - thank you, I am not the only &#...Paul and Melanie - thank you, I am not the only 'lobber' but god I wish I'd lied about the other people's plots bit - it's only a couple of times, honest!!!

As a child I knew a gardener who always trod on them, he wore hobnail boots and the slugs burst, shooting their innards some distance, or sometimes sticking to the boots. <br /><br />Not sure we can forgive throwing onto someone else's plot though!Jennifer Tetlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216669559770468403noreply@blogger.com
