I ordered a Carpenters Gold - 35th Anniversary Edition CD set for my wife as Christmas gift from amazon.com. Both of us love Karen Carpenter's songs very much. I first heard her songs on cassette in 1983 the year she died (Feb 4, 1983). There was no Internet then, we had limited access to the world, mostly through short-wave radio or some printed media. So I knew very little about herself other than her crystal clear, amazingly beautiful voice, and wonderful melodies.To get free shipping, I ordered another CD for myself,
Yo-Yo Ma's Sinfonia Concertante/Tchiakovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme/Andante Cantabile.
Get rid of bees and Duct Tape ...

How do you get rid of bees?
There’s a bee nest inside the siding right below the gutter in my house. I have used those jet sprays to kill the bees with some success, but it can not get rid of them. It looks like the insecticide concentration is not high enough to kill the bees on contact as advertised. The bees would be killed only if they were covered with the chemicals, which is hard since they do not stay still near the nest.
I have used duct tape to cover the nest, but they managed to get in and out after a few days when the tape became loose. I did find out that the tape did trap a lot of bees when I replaced with new tapes.
I will keep using duct tape until the bees are gone or I find something better.
