There are many ways to recognize the detrimental effects of white grubs in your garden and/or lawn, one of which being that you will have large areas in your yard where the grass is brown and dead. Also, there will be more birds in your yard during the day searching for meaty grubs. However, at night is when the real damage is done. You may find large holes in your yard due to larger animals continuing the hunt of the grubs.

One time I was so bored that I decided to rearrange my entire room. By myself. Long story short my room looks amazing and I got a new TV because I had somewhere to put it. I say this to demonstrate how boredom makes room for new and great things. Boredom has proven many times before to make people do stupid things for thousands of years, but they've paid off.…

It is not something most sixteen year olds would rather be spending their time doing.…

We took our clothes off because our swim suits were underneath and sprinted to the clear blue ocean.…
