What is your vinegar to water ratio? Does the vinegar keep ants away?

I love bread and butter pickles. I make refrigerator pickles in the summer.
We had a bumper cucumber crop 2 summers ago and the fridge was never devoid of pickles. Last year our garden did not do well, so not as many. Here's hoping for a good year this year.

I've lived in my present house for about 30 years. For the first 25, I never saw an ant in the house. Now, they invade me from time to time. It's a real headache.
Shhhhhh we are a day behind on this program and have kept off FB so as not to catch any results.
Is this what Y'all mean by an iron

Scaring the heck out of 70 myself.. one more year! I don't know how I feel about it, haven't really thought about my age much... my brain recognition of age still isn't working. I can stand there and chat with people in their 20's and according to my brain we are all the same age. The only time that ever bothered me, even a little, was one time when I was at work and there were a group of us that used to congregate at break time and just talk. About 6 months in I found out that one of the guys, whom I always just assumed to be close to my age, looked at me and said... "you know, I have been trying to figure out where I knew you from and it finally dawned on me that I was in grammar school with your daughter Amy. That, my friend, took a great deal of wind out of my sails.

I guess it's a personal theory, but, why doesn't that apply to walking down the middle of a busy highway. Like taking medicine, wouldn't not walking down the middle of the highway also equal adding days to that number? Isn't there a saying... god helps those that help themselves?I was told by my Dr. to take that medicine. I refuse too, it's too risky, besides at 69 what's ever is going to get me, will get me. Our days are numbered.
I will totally agree that nothing we do will make us live forever, but, I do think that making the effort is worthwhile.

I use a 50/50 mix and it does seem to help, because one year I got invaded, washed everything down and they didn't come back in. Now I wash everything down and put out ant traps ahead of time to prevent them from getting any ideas

I agree @MySmallWorldof4 . DL has very limited TS options, but quick service wins, if for no other reason than that they give you real plates and silverware. Not paper and plastic like at WDW.

Level of laziness: dialing into a meeting from my desk instead of getting up and lugging my laptop and its power cord down the hall to the actual meeting.

Hi again. Still stuck in the US. DH and the kids went back a week and a half ago, then promptly all caught the stomach flu. Then it was Easter break so they went back to work/school today. I have no idea when I'll be able to go home. We hit a couple of snafus that slowed everything down. I got sunburned on Thursday when the death certificates FINALLY came in after more than 2 weeks and my brother was already back home so I had no transportation and I walked 5.5 miles to pick them up and drop them off everywhere they needed to be. But I've gotten everything done that I can do until the lawyer lets us know if we have to go through probate, so I'm hanging at my brother's house for now.

Sympathy like. I was hoping everything was settled and you would have been home for Easter. Do you at least have a bike you can use? License? Can you use your brother's address? You may be able to mail yourself something and get a notarized letter from him depending on the state for proof of residence. Good luck and I hope everything gets sorted soon.

Guilt-OMG more like it. It wasn't far from my uncles or my cousins but almost an hour from my Moms. Then my Moms to my home for me. Food was good but way too many hours to and fro.A lot of arm twisting, I'm sure...!

Make sure you don't overdo it. You won't be as helpful if you are injured!Out for me today. I'm getting my stuff packed. Then I start on hubby's. His clothes are bigger and takes up more room in the suitcases. Update on daughter, we are working on cleaning the apartment this week and unpacking the kitchen. Setting boxes in each room. She is on the third floor, no elevator...that will be a challenge.I have a back brace for moving heavy things, so I should be good.

Ant season has already been here. And this year, those little suckers seemed to love the vinegar! I have been using this stuff
I have been spraying it around the foundation outside mostly. It keeps washing away when it rains, so I have to reapply often. And it is ok to use on the counters. Mostly peppermint and rosemary extracts, so I don't have to worry about Jasmine with it.

I'm wondering if the ants don't like me as much as they used to because I now have several patches of mint around my house. Strictly for medicinal reasons(mojitos)Ant season has already been here. And this year, those little suckers seemed to love the vinegar! I have been using this stuff
