HURRAY !!!!!! We finally found out what was eating the leaves of our
veggies. SNAILS!!!! Put some snail bait out and walla dead snails today.
Those darn things snuck in over night, nibbled the goodies and were gone at
sun rise. My question is. Where do the inside of the snails go? All there is
is empty shells.

Where do you think slugs come from? They are snails that have left their
shells.

I suppose you might, if of a pious disposition, say of them something like:

Under this sod and beneath these trees
Lies all that's left of Samuel Pease;
Pease ain't here--it's just his pod;
He shelled off his soul which flew to God.

That is a cute poem! I have never heard of Samuel Pease. I will never look
at an empty snail shell again without thinking on Samuel and the sod beneath
the trees.

Not exactly :-)) They are related but entirely different creatures. They also tend
to be carniverous from time to time and will consume their stricken comrades, but
typically their flesh is eaten by other garden predators - ground beetles, birds,
moles, etc.

Save us, Lord...

Is there also a site to explain the difference between a nail & a lug?
A pail & a jug? All hail & a chug? Airmail & a bug? Tit-flail & a dug?

Paghat,

I am not sure if there is a site that would explain the differences between
a nail and a lug, etc.

May be there are some reference guides for writers. I would be interested in
knowing of some reference guides for writers that would comment on such
words. This sounds like a fun idea to write and think about.

Do you have any idea where I might look?

Thanks in advance for your help and considerations,

Lee

Well, I tell my bird, Mika, she smells like a watermelon and a buckwheat cake.
But not the same sentiment. I adore my Mika Bird Johnson.
