Peters Pest Control

The summer is great, but I don't like bugs! Every time I see a bug in the house or clean the windows, I always think that I should get the house sprayed for bugs.

I see Peters Pest Control ad every spring and fall when it is running in the paper and I'm always going to call him. This year I finally did!!

I'm not sure if you guys are as blessed as me and have the wonderful Asian beetles and bees that like to make mud houses in your windows.

I'm not sure which one makes the mud house but the bees fill them with pollen. I asked Jeff, owner of Peters Pest Control, and he said it's the bees.

Jeff came and sprayed our house with 28 gallons of "pest good riddens" (My name for it!) and it WORKS! I have a table sitting on the front porch and there is a window that it sits under.

The bees were constantly flying in the window and they are gone! No more bees!!

I also don't have any bugs crawling on the porch and I can't say I've seen any critters in the house either. I am a happy girl.

We are now on his list for spring and fall spraying.

If you have critters call Jeff at 242-3670! His ad is in the paper too.

Thank you, Jeff! You did an amazing job!

Joke of the Week

A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at a newsstand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, "I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?"

"About 32," is the reply.

"Nope! I'm exactly 50," the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the very same question.

The girl replies, "I'd guess about 29." The woman replies with a big smile, "Nope, I'm 50."

Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street.

She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question.

The clerk responds, "Oh, I'd say 30."

Again she proudly responds, "I'm 50, but thank you!"

While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question.

He replies, "Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra then, and only then I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are."

They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, "What the heck, go ahead."

He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.

After a couple of minutes of this, she says, "Okay, okay.....How old am I?"

He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, "Madam, you are 50."

Stunned and amazed, the woman says, "That was incredible, how could you tell?"

"I was behind you at McDonalds."

I guess Julie decided she needed to try working from a different view this week!

We have two sections in this week's paper, Spring Sports and Roseau Graduation, so it's been a bit crazy at our office.

I was teasing Julie about something and she decided I needed a hug. When she tried to sit back in her chair it started rolling away and "plunk" she was on the floor!

We had a good laugh which was needed with our week!

Good job Julie!!
