Re: I just gave the LR a coffee bath

When I was small my father was mowing and got too close to a hive of yellow jackets that was in the base/roots of some bush. They swarmed him and got under his clothing.  He had countless stings instantly bring on a heart attack, ambulance to hospital.  It was awful.

 

On another note, we had the living room and stairwell of our first house carpeted in a light sand color.  The day after the installation I was carrying a cup of coffee up the stairs and - you guess it - I tripped and sent the entire mug of coffee all over the new carpeting.  I managed to get it out but that involved a lot of sponging and wringing - hours worth.

Re: I just gave the LR a coffee bath

I recently did the same in my white kitchen, have been finding brown coffee droplets forever. That stuff can splash a long way!

 

Hope your hand is OK!

Re: I just gave the LR a coffee bath

@Jacie   Boy are you right about it going all over.  I thought I got all of it last night, until the sun came shining in today.  My hand is ok although last night I did keep a cool cloth wrapped around it for a long time. Thanks for asking.

Re: I just gave the LR a coffee bath

Yellow jackets are very aggressive and will come after you if they feel threatened.Every spring they insist on building a nest right above our front door on the ceiling of our porch. I just take a broom handle and knock it down...they come after me but I just close the door quickly.  Right now we have more issues with huge coyotes and bobcats.....

Friends, I also thought she meant Lisa Robertson at first and I thought "What the heck?  Is this another beauty product?"  LOL
