This is strange,
I was on my way to bed when of the sudden I inhaled a small moth into my nose. It got stuck in my nose, and I could feel it moving a few times as I sneezed. Then it stopped moving. I went into the bathroom and blew really hard. Nothing came out. I am not really grossed out by...
Well, I went to the east coast once, and had trouble adjusting to the humidity, it felt stuffy, and crazy. I can only imagine what Louisiana fells like!! It never gets above 20% humidity here!
I live in a very diverse climate, it rains a ton in early spring, then from about May - June it will sometimes rain. But then when summer hits, it hardly ever rains. Then fall hits, and it dose not rain until the end of October, then it does nothing but poor rain until the end of November, then...

My Climate is very very VERY. It has a relative average humidity is 5% all year. except when it rains. I basically live between a small mountain range, and a dry desert.

Living on a farm, I would either cull it, or cut off it's ear. If you choose the ladder, I would get a sharp knife, and just cut it off, all the way to the end of the black part. After you cut it off, apply corn starch to clot the blood, or some special product designed to do it would be better...
Hello!!
