[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 474768, member: 1991"] okay, the key words I was avoiding in this thread were to do with my current intense involvement in the art of composing literature. We were selling these items yesterday (Sunday) at a street fair. Interestingly, person in question stopped by, generally when I was either absent or in the shadows at the back of the stall (and she did not see me). According to the others (and I noted for myself discreetly) she was polite, sweet, friendly... *twilight zone theme playing*. Termites here are called white ants, even though they're not ants. Just as plentiful though. And as husband posted earlier, our termites can do a lot of damage surreptitiously before you realise. "Ant caps" are metal sheets that are placed over brick piers under houses to prevent termites building their mud tunnels from the ground into the house. An under-floor inspection will see if there are any attempts by termites to build tunnels into the house and these can be broken away to stop the termites. or alert a householder to the need to put in an urgent call to the exterminators. With ant caps, they are usually square and extend beyond the brick piers, bent down also a bit, to really make it difficult for the termites. Termites cannot stand the light (they're the vampires of the insect world, preying on houses and dead timber anywhere). I didn't think we were so different with respect to termites. As for my difficult child former friend, I am not personally concerned for my safety. However, the tantrums are confronting for others, causing significant distress and fear. I don't think I will do anything for now, she may decide to behave. But then with that statement, I think I just saw a flock of swine in formation overhead... Better close this off, it's Monday here now! Marg [/QUOTE]
