    Well, looks like the sixth time was the charm, Endeavor succeeded in launching today. I didn't hear the boom this time, but I only hear it about half the time anyways, since I'm about as inland as one can get in Florida.

    Edit: It was hit on the underside by debris on takeoff. Looks like there's going to be some EVAs to make sure it can get back to earth safely.

    My house is full of bugs! :mad:

    I have no idea where they came from, as I always have the stupid net thing on when I open the windows. I just realised when they started flying around my kitchen that there was a swarm of them! Rather than spend a nice relaxing evening drinking tea, as was my original plan, I spent the next hours killing the stupid things instead. I got about twenty of them but there are still half a dozen flying around and I can't get rid of them! I am so mad! :flaming:

    Ziad, take a paper plate, spray some adhesive on it or use some double-sided tape and put a small piece of sugary food on the plate. It will probably attract them and they will get stuck... my grandpa's home remedy for getting rid of annoying summr insects... :D

    Liked to pull half the legs off of spiders when you were a kid, didn't you? Maybe owned a magnifying glass as well?:p

    Oh yeah!

    My favorite bug killing memory involved a red ant hill and several ounces of black gun power I "borrowed" from my dad's gun cabinet. I put a little on top of the hill, planning on just lighting just a little....but the ants started taking it inside the hill. So I put a little more, and a little more until I barely had any left in my cup. They took it all inside the hill...so I dumped the rest of it on top, took a step back, lit a match, tossed it down....and WOOSH!!! Bye bye ant hill! Little curled up dead red ants were everywhere. It was a glorious day! :evil:

    My brother and I would blow up the bees hives or hornet's nests in our yard.

    1 film container, filled with about 100 gun primers, a little flash powder and a little gun powder and a long fuse. Bwam! It just sucked when it was your turn to put the little explosive in the hive, especially when it was hornets. My pop used to have a nice gun collection, with alot of powder. We were always tapping into it to blow up stuff. Fun, fun!

    I was exciting! The bright flash, the smell of burnt gun powder, the sound of fiery death, the sight of my conquered foes!


    Hmmm....that could very well be a great line for the next Amon Amarth album! I should sell it and make millions! :love:

    Blades, Silvery - Thanks, that was a great suggestion! Wish I had thought of it yesterday. I spent most of the night killing them one by one instead and feel exhausted today :bad:
    On the bright side I did manage to get them except one, and I've quarantined it in the bathroom. There's going to be some fun to be had tonight :evil:

    Kit - insecticides may or may not be efficient, but the major problem is that I didn't want my kitchen to be unusable for the next couple of days. It's the reason I avoid insecticides as much as possible.

    T2 - :lol:

    Wow. Now I really wish that I had been there.

    Heh, 'Gunpowder Down the Ant-Hills". You'd have to ensure the title track had a climatic ending, preferably with something like cannons.

    Three days of doing basically nothing, gaming included. Yay for summer. :)

    Who said they LET us play with them. My subterfuge and skulking skills were advanced at a very young age. Plus, dad left the key in a very easy hiding spot to find. He never took us hunting, so our curiousity was even greater to get into his cabinet and play.
