ANDRE'S REVENGE- 3/25 Visualize Ant Eviction

[Bunny Berry]

First of all, I want to apologize for appearing this way on camera. I had been out of bed for about 15 minutes, and whoa, it's an eye opener to see yourself on video when you roll out of bed. SEX-AY! I know you're all totally jealous that Basil gets to wake up next to me every.single.morning!

So, anyway, today I decided to take a passive non-violent approach, and served the fire ants their first eviction notice. I'll be disturbing their nest to see if that will encourage them to move to a different location in the yard so that I can treat the area around the garden with cinnamon and cayenne pepper and grits.

Why can't we all just get along? Oh yeah, because those little mofos BITE. I don't bite. But I am trying to have the raw spirit, and live in harmony with the violent little bastards. Turning the other cheek. OHM.

*Dances around all happy!*

Yay!!! Nonviolence feels so much better. You did seem to truly enjoy disturbing their home, though. ROFL I think it's really nice of you to try a less violent form of reclaiming your garden, first, Bunny! Most people wouldn't have done that--you soooo RAWk!!!

*blows kisses*

I love you!

XOXOXO

p.s. Next let's talk about the poor fruit flies! ;-P

YOU are just too funny!!!! Look what I miss when I travel away. LOL I think the peaceful, direct approach has much merit.(in more ways than one!) the end of this video had me hysterical..I love your take on life, so refreshing, so funny and just so adorable! homeopathic Rx ledium/hypericum for those bites if you're into it. Guru Ants! They gotta be teachin u something about yourself! minus the painful welts! thanks for the vid! xxx

I say Basil's a lucky so-and-so! Not every man's got himself a woman that can create a community, start a magazine, plant a garden and peacefully evict fireants all while looking so adorable first thing in the morning in the rain!!!

I have an agreement with the ant kingdom - y'all bite, so I bite back. I spent one memorable night in Arizona with ants crawling all over me - in my sleep I was rolling ants between my fingers. I bite back. "living in harmony with the violent little bastards." love it.

oh this was so worth watching through to the end. I love you more every day!

Interestingly, I was talking about something similar today.
When I went back to my hometown (Virginia Beach, VA), in 1999, I had a terrible time with mosquitoes. They came in small, medium, and large, and they had color variations, but they were mosquitoes, and they seemed to think I was the best thing since sliced bread. Suffice it to say that I was on bulbous collection of mosquito bites from head to toe, and they missed no spot.
Completely and totally frustrated, I decided to try something based on something I had read about dealing with "plant devas". Please don't laugh too hard.

I concentrated and called on the "head mosquito" (I did not know her name). When I felt like I had found her, I explained that I was "mosquito-ist", in that I did not distinguish between different kinds of mosquitoes, but that I would like to cut a deal with her, and I told her that, if the mosquitoes kept biting me, I would wage war, and many mosquitoes, of all types would die. I suggested that, if she communicate to all the mosquitoes in the area what I had said, and that if the mosquitoes stopped biting me, I would not harm any mosquitoes.
Yes, yes, I know this sounds very strange, but the fact is that, after that conversation, I was never bitten again by mosquitoes, during the year I was in Virginia Beach.

You could try this approach. You don't have to believe -- all you have to do is believe that it *could* be possible. It worked for me even though, as I was doing it, I wasn't completely sure that I wasn't crazy, and I just did not know what else to do. I will definitely do the same thing again if I am faced with a serious biting pest.

I hope you noticed that on the front page, the notes ended with SEX ... not SEX-AY
I thought it was funny, and of course assumed you were about to say that this was a JBF look of some sort. You know ... "SEX will do that to your hairdo", or something of that sort.

I think you're on the right path .. the boiling water really just does the same thing ... but more violently.

I have to move this weekend .. so I'm out of sorts, I'm packing my kitchen. I'll be int he Houston area for about a week, then driving to Atlanta for my Spring residency. I probably won't be very present here.

but I'll be back.

I know this may seem crazy, but what does ROLF mean?

ROFL is "Rolling On the Floor Laughing"

Margaret, that was awesome what you did with the mosquitoes. You simply changed your vibration toward mosquitoes and no longer attracted them. Awesome! Thankx for sharing!

[Plain Gerlaine]

So when do you put down the cayenne, cinnamon and grits? And why grits?

I visualized the little ants making little tunnels over to the other side of the yard and setting up a new mound. Then they had a little party with balloons and streamers and noise makers 'cause it was sooooo nice over there at their new home. ; )

Yep.
They are going to have a good time at their new abode.
No more Mi Casa Su Casa, with Bunny.
I can hear the maraca's from here.

So, if I come to the Atlanta Ren Faire, I can find you and pinch your tushie?

OMG, I spit water on my computer screen at the 2:30 mark! LOL! Gandhi!!

Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a "passive non-violent approach," but let's say it was pro-active and less violent.

I'll leave you with some Gandhi quotes:

Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Om Shanti Shanti Om
