And one more thing

This is why you don’t snap the keys off the keyboard and boil them to make them cleaner. Sounded like a good idea at the time, huh? The space bar, curved like an S, is currently being used as a plant hanger.

    HEE! Slap a price tag on it and call it art.
    What the hell–it’s better than bones and cockroaches.
    As for the ants, YUCK. I don’t have any solution for you that matches your criteria. I could send you the flies that are swarming around MY kitchen. Maybe they would eat the ants? And then you could get little old ladies to swallow the flies…I don’t know why…
    Why yes, I am on my second beer. Why do you ask?

    Maybe a slight simmer, rather than a full rolling
    boil would have been better. Hee hee.

    Hmm..at first glance I thought you were playing with Photoshop. ๐Ÿ™‚ I agree, a simmer might have done a little less damage. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    UMMMMM, so you’re not INHALING that ant spray or anytign right? This just cracked me up….one of those “sounded like SUCH a good idea at the time” kinda things.
    I hate ant migrations. I hate poisons. I usually move. TO another state. :)Like inebriated!

    Are you serious that that’s what happened to the keyboard? What were you trying to sterilize the keys from? Not sure I really want to know ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Oh dear Rachael! I love you, really I do but you really thought this would be a good idea? LOL! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I wonder if you put it in simmer if you could mold back the space bar into it’s original shape! LOL! ๐Ÿ˜‰
