* Getting a steam burn on most of one hand does get one out of washing dishes for several days, but still probably isn't worth it.
* If you had problems with the tomatoes ON the vine, don't think the green ones won't have problems too.
* It takes a long time to kill off a moth colony.
* Handing out toys instead of candy for Halloween is a good way to make friends with both kids AND parents--unless the toys are ones that make noise.
* If one bratty little trick-or-treater says he doesn't like your toys and wants candy instead, handing him a 5-year-old sucker is rather satisfying.
* Don't underestimate a pantry moth infestation. We found them in a jar of polenta that I had actually already checked.
* My friends pointed out that if we ate processed foods with a bunch of preservatives like normal people, we probably wouldn't have a moth problem. Sadly, they could be right.
* Mother Nature is a great practical joker. In July, when I wanted my tomatoes to grow, it was 60 degrees. Now the first week of November, when I want to plant my garlic for next year, it's 70 degrees.
* When the UPS guy shows up with the industrial-strength pantry moth spray, it would probably be best to refrain from hugging the man, no matter HOW much I feel like it.

I tried giving toys away one year. Not well received. Neither were the apples (I'd run out of candy) - I can still see the absolute disbelief in those kids eyes! Hope your hand heals soon.
