If you own a .22 rifle, look for CB Long rounds; effective and no louder than a staple gun. Also note that relocating animals is technically against the law, not to mention you're handing over your problem to the next guy. Winter is a great time to cull the herd, because it's actually open season, and you're not going to leave behind a nest of helpless young to starve to death. I'm a rabbits in the yard hater, and a rabbits on the dinner table lover, but I do not want to leave a nest full of babies to die a long, miserable death by taking its mother away. Joe

I know this is an old thread, and I already commented on it, but we just bought a safe, and in the process of researching, I've learned a few things that weren't obvious to me: - Fireproofing absolutely matters, but so does waterproof! Keep in mind that if you have a fire, the firemen are going to soak your safe thoroughly. If they don't, you won't be able to touch the safe for at least half a day. It'll be hot. - If you want to bolt your safe to the floor, you must drill holes in the bottom -- and there goes your waterproofing. An alternative is to "build in the safe" so that wooden beams prevent it from sliding out of its hidey hole. This is not easy to arrange, and thieves can bust it open with an axe; however, it would take time, and most thieves like to be in and out quickly. - Likewise, if you are building an in-floor safe, it seems logical that waterproofing the safe will be near impossible. If firemen were putting out a fire in your house, your in-floor safe would be underneath everything, including water. - The walls of most safe brands contain miniscule bits of encapsulated water, and that's what makes them fireproof. However, because these bits of water would be released in case of fire, it's also wise to store your valuable papers and/or guns in ziplock bags. - Certain name brands of safes contain PLASTIC in -- what's the right word? -- spindles? rods? closey-sticks? that are designed to melt in a fire so that NO ONE can get into the safe right away. This is meant to deter strangers from coming into the wreckage of your burned house and toting off your safe. The company will then replace your safe for free. I think this is a HORRIBLE arrangement, and we bought a different name brand. My thought process: We keep some cash money in our safe, and if we were to have a fire, that cash money is probably the #1 thing I'd want NOW. When my brother's house burned, he literally had nothing but a pair of PJs. My other brother brought him clothes and shoes from his own closet, but he needed eye glasses and diabetes meds NOW. He needed money, and the bank didn't want to give it to him without ID, which he had lost. I would hate to know that I had plenty of cash money in my melted safe, and the company would get it out for me at their earliest convenience. As soon as I learned this fact, I crossed that brand name off the list. - You need to choose between manual and digital operations. We read a number of negative reviews concerning the digital mechanisms, so we bought a manual safe. At the very least, you'll need to replace batteries in a digital safe. And a safe is HARD to open! You can also get a key and bypass the combination altogether. - If you're going to buy online, be sure to go look at safes in person first. The walls are thicker than you might expect, and you care about internal dimensions. Personally, I cared about my safe being large enough to hold a notebook containing documents. - We ended up buying a safe from Craigslist for $45. Great deal, and -- no -- we have no concerns about the guy coming to rob us because he doesn't know where we live. He gave us the combination but not a key. Using the numbers on the wheel, my husband was able to order a key off the internet (yeah, I have a bit of a problem with that too, but realistically those numbers were awfully small, and a thief would have a hard time getting them, then returning to your house once he'd obtained a key). - Our plan is still as I described above: We plan to build a locking closet, and it will contain the two safes we now own (one for passports and cash, the other larger one for documents) . . . plus space that's just behind a locked door, which will keep out most people.

I've researched meds on the internet but have yet to purchase anything because of all the spam I got when I sent an inquiry to one place. After reading the following article, I might consider giving it a try. ABC news-June 20th: "Save Thousands On Your Health Care". A lot of good advice as well as links to sites where one can buy less expensive drugs from reputable pharmacies in Canada, the U.S. and other countries. Check out the related articles at the end of this article that talk about generic meds. Very good info about the differences between generics vs brand.

Dear margrethe2nd, you accuse us of being fraudulent but you publish your statement under a false name and twist the truth, which shouldn't be necessary if you were right. 1. Your order was placed on Tue, 08 Oct 2019 and not in August. 2. It may very well be the case that the big design house has never heard of us but that does not change the fact that their production is very very slow and we have been given a wrong delivery date. We understand that you are upset and share your frustration, but we didn't mislead or defraud you. Just have a look at the reviews of any other online seller of Italian furniture and count how many of them mention months long delivery times and delayed orders. Whoever claims that there are quick deliveries for this kind of furniture simply does not have any clue or has bought a showroom piece vs a custom made one. 3. How do you prove or assume that the "dozens of fraudulent charges" originated from the purchase on our website? Neither we nor our payment processor have access to your credit card information or save this information locally or online. We make use of AES-256 encryption, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and 3D Secure verification for any credit card charges. Also every professional payment processor from western countries has very strict KYC procedures and cancels any merchants that exceed 1% of orders with chargebacks immediately. This statement is simply a false accusation and we kindly ask you to provide proof for it or take it back. To summarize, we have paid for the production of your bed in October and it has been manufactured by the big design house according to your requirements, which took longer than we have been advised when we placed the order, for which we apologized several times but this is simply out of our control. You are very welcome to check the serial number, production date and all the details with the manufacturer when you receive it and it should be very obvious that we didn't mislead or defraud you. Whether the person you have spoken to has heard of us or not does not change the fact that their production is slow, so why do we get the blame for it? Lastly I want to share my personal opinion as a seller, from last year on we rather sell smaller, lesser known brands that provide reliable delivery dates or ready-made pieces than being caught in the middle between a slow, big brand that gives false estimates and waiting customers that blame us for the delays in production. There is absolutely no meaning in doing such a transaction with all the back and forth, bad feelings on all sides and the damage to our reputation. We have delivered to hundreds of high-end contractors, builders, hotels and private customers in the US and worldwide. Most of those orders have been completed in the advised time-frame or even quicker and without even having been in contact once, so we don't have a lot of reviews but we have many repeat orders from commercial customers, so we must do something right.
