To my knowledge there's no stagnant water on my property, I've run water through all my ptraps, and I'm careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there's at least 3 in my house. I can't sleep, i can't sit on the couch, i can't exist in the fear of being sucked dry.

The breaking point is when i watched my dog get bit on her head. I'm ready to do whatever it takes and then some. I will kill a man if it saves me from these demons. Any ideas?

The propaganda from King of the Hill has made for sub-prime cookouts for all my life up until a few months ago.

Believing propane was the superior heating element of the cookout, because of Hank Hill, I never tried a charcoal grill. But when I went to other folks cookouts, it tasted so good. A little sweet and smokiness charred into the meat, "How did they do that?!" I contemplated late into many nights.

I switched to Charcoal after a friendly suggestion, and the difference is mind-blowing. If you're cooking with propane, you might as well be cooking on a stove.

To be fair, there was an episode of KotH where Bobby and Peggy discover that charcoal was actually superior to propane when it came to taste. It was a whole big thing and hilarious to watch them try to keep it a secret from Hank lol

My memory was hazy. It's actually a CO2 trap. Propane trap would be no bueno! 😹

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

No wonder your momories are hazy, you inhale too much propane.

Muy malo, one might say.
