Today has already been a doozie and the day has just started. Yesterday we came home from running errands to find our AC not cooling the house. I noticed a 1/4 inch hole in our outside kitty’s tail while feeding him and this morning I woke with food poisoning so I don’t have much brain power or energy to post much.

Over the weekend I compiled all my various Google searches on things. Kind of shows a fun perspective on what we’ve been up to. I mean the search engines compile this to learn about us so it must be interesting right?

It’s best to prune big leaf hydrangeas after the blooms have faded, pruning before will only diminish the current season’s blooms. My hydrangeas are taking over the world right now.

Japanese beetles don’t like catnip, chives and garlic. Planting these companion plants with roses and other susceptible plants can help keep the beetles away. Also, a bucket of soapy water and some dead Japanese beetles is said to repel them. I guess the smell the decaying carcasses of the fellow buddies and this keeps them away. LOL.

The Bot Fly lives in a host’s skin and is removed like this. We suspect this is what is going on with our kitty’s tail as the wound is clean, pink, puss free and seemingly uninfected. Gonna give it a day or so of regular cleaning with peroxide to watch signs of healing.

Changing the message tone on a Blackberry 8820 is done via the profiles menu. Got the ring tone changed fine but needed to consult the internets for advice about how to change the message tone. Also, Google sync is a great app for putting those Google Calendar items on your Blackberry. Yay!

So there you have it, a look in to what was happening this weekend and some useless knowledge. What was the last thing or two you searched the internets for and what did you learn?
