Oh what a difference 24 hours can make.

I love the Tiki Sunrise. My wife liked the Mojito Breeze. Berry Sparkle Sangria is a little light in the flavor category compared to these.

The slices weren't pretty, but the flavor was great. I used frozen pie crust and Parmesan instead of Manchego. Recipe in photos credit to Food Network Magazine.

Sun sugar, chocolate cherry, sweet reds, and some cross breeds.

If you're upset about store bought, don't be afraid to make your own! It's so easy!

If I had a gun every Vice golf ball I've found, I could arm a town the size of...with 5 citizens.

Back when I first started taking whiskey seriously, this was one of my favorites. I've probably gone through half a dozen bottles over the years, although it's been several years since I last had some. My tastes have obviously changed and I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.

My parents admitted to me last night that they've never been able to find the filter on a furnace that they had installed in 2020! I admit that I'm having trouble figuring it out myself. All I see is a very coarse, dusty mat type thing flopped over inside the unit. It's laying on top of a blower housing. Can anyone help??

It has one of the best grapefruit flavors and goes down great ice cold on a hot, humid day. Highly recommend.

Summary: I've had a possum under my shed for months, but haven't seen it for a few weeks. I want to make sure it's gone before I seal off it's access. I have dogs who are obsessed with it.

Long version: We've had a possum under our shed since last fall. For the majority of winter and spring, I had footage on camera of it coming and going almost every other day.

I finally started trying to trap it a couple months ago, but I only ever caught racoons and squirrels. It had been getting down into the 20s-30s at night so often that I didn't have many opportunities to set the trap (I didn't want it to freeze to death in the trap).

I haven't had any footage of it on camera for around a month. Last weekend, I piled some loose straw and plant debris in front of the two holes it was using to come and go (the photos). It hasn't been disturbed.

However, I have two beagles who are still obsessed with the holes and will still try to crawl into them if I let them. They act like something is down there.

Is the lack of camera footage and the unused holes enough to say that the possum is gone? Are my dogs just smelling it's old scent and hoping that it's still down there? Is it possible that it died under there and that's why they are still interested? (I've never smelled anything, but I did notice some black flies hanging out under the door one day) Are possums in the habit of staying in their den for weeks without venturing out for food and drink?

If it weren't for the fact that my dogs are obsessed with it, it wouldn't bother me and it could stay there as long as it wanted.

As it is, I've had to put temporary fencing up around the shed to keep the dogs out, effectively blocking off a quarter of my yard, my garden, and my shed. It's becoming a pain the ass now that I'm needing in the shed more often, mowing, gardening, etc.

If it's gone, I'll seal up the holes with blocks and take the fencing down. I just want to be confident that I'm not going to trap a living possum under there. I mean it no harm.

Or has it been banned?

An absolute TON of fantastic comics! Of course, I suggest paying as much as you can. This is a hell of a deal no matter what. You'd spend a fortune trying to hunt all these trades down on eBay, or whatever. Tell your friends!
