Monitor Pest Control vs Orkin for residential pest control?

Second for Monitor Pest Control. They're based in North Atlanta so they know the local pests (fire ants, carpenter bees, etc.). Orkin is fine but you're paying for the brand. Monitor gave us a free re-treatment when ants showed up after a heavy rain.

Security deposit surprise: my old landlord had to itemize in Ohio

Pretty sure the itemized list rule is 30 days under Ohio law, but ok.

Dropped $40 on a plastic egg skelter and my hens refuse to use it

Guess the hens just wanted a forty dollar chew toy.

Trusting a stranger's warning about the Eastland escalator pit kept me out of trouble

Would that floor really have given out under your weight though? People toss around those warnings all the time because old buildings make them nervous, not because they saw anything real. That guy probably saved your shoes from a little dust, not your life.

A guy at the farmers market in Fresno said my air fryer Brussels sprouts were steaming, not roasting, and he was right

2 pounds in a 5 quart is wild, I was doing the same thing with my 6 quart and wondering why they came out mushy every time. Once I dropped to about a pound and a half max and shook them halfway, the difference was night and day, those crispy little outer leaves are everything lol. Now I just keep a cheap kitchen scale on the counter so I stop lying to myself about how much is going in.
