i just opened the front door AND THERE WAS A FOOTLONG SLUG, up on the porch, headed right for the door!<\/p>\n
ewwww.<\/p>\n
WHAT DO WE DO??? i yelled to kevin.<\/p>\n
SPRINKLE SALT ON IT he said.<\/p>\n
i know that salt kills slugs, but since i live out here with my nature man and my next-door nature brother-in-law, i’ve tried to not kill so many bugs and things.\u00a0 just this morning there was a spider on the inside of the screen in one of the rooms and i scooped it up with a kleenex.\u00a0 my friend bev was there and she said AREN’T YOU GONNA KILL IT?\u00a0 but i explained to her ab out nature husband and nature binlaw.<\/p>\n
so just now i went out with the big box of salt (dad left at least three of them here when he moved out)…but i couldn’t bring myself to kill it.\u00a0 kevin says since slugs are mostly…gooshy stuff inside…the salt sucks up its insides.<\/p>\n
what a horrible way to die.<\/p>\n
instead, i poured a mound of salt in front of the slug and watched as it quickly drew back, obviously very unhappy.\u00a0 it just laid there for a while then it slowly turned around and started to ooze and stretch itself back from whence it came.<\/p>\n
hopefully i won’t step on it in the middle of the night if for some reason i decide to get up and wander around outside.<\/p>\n
hopefully it won’t find a way to slither in and SQUASH AND SLIME ALL OVER ME when i sleep.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
exciting wednesday night grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
