Re: which spray or lotion

Yes and no... this means I have to get this done and quick. I am leaving
town in a week.....the fish can't stay where they are for more than a
couple of days....although if I was home I could push it, but with being
gone that's not going to work. One of the lilies has overgrown it's pot
to being a massive root mess 4ft round.... now to get it out of there.
That is tonights project with the skeeters biting, asthma reacting,
after working 10- 11 hours at work... sigh.
