Earthworms are good for the soil. In fact, the presence of earthworms in the soil is an indicator that you have healthy soil. If you dig your shovel into dirt and come up with five or more, it indicates you have pretty healthy soil. If you come up with zero earthworms, although not conclusive, it’s a good sign that your soil is poor quality.

Earthworms help the soil is a few important ways. If you’ve got compacted soil, earthworms will help to aerate it - which, in turn, helps the lawn to breathe.

Despite what you might have seen on TV, private investigations are not all about hiding in the bushes and getting into gunfights. The job of a private investigator is actually pretty mundane most of the time. I am perhaps the busiest, most successful private investigator Atlanta has to offer, and I still spend a lot of time doing background checks at home. Private investigation does involve a lot of surveillance work, and even occasionally requires you to stake people out and follow them around. For the most part, however, private investigations are pretty tame.

When I first got my private investigators license, I had very unrealistic expectations for the job. As most people who study kung fu grew up watching martial arts movies, so most people involved in private investigations grew up watching film Noir. I expected to be drinking at all hours of the day, talking to beautiful women, fighting it out with tough thugs, and even getting into an occasional gunfight. Perhaps I am overstating the case a little bit. I knew that private investigations weren’t all that dangerous, and most of the stuff that private investigators do in the film noir movies would get you arrested. Nonetheless,I did think private investigations would involve more high drama than they do.

I will give you an example of what a typical private investigation is like. In my last case, I was working for a boss, trying to find out if one of his employees was cheating on his disability benefits. Rather than spending all of the private investigations hunkered down in the bushes, however, I divided my time between doing background research on him and taking photos of his activities.

This one particular Orlando Private investigator I met taught me a ton of tricks. I could have gotten more photographic evidence showing that he was doing vigorous physical activity while pretending to have a serious injury. Instead, I used some private investigation tricks to make things easier. I found several records of him running in marathons and participating in sports clubs in the past several months. This meant that I didn’t have to follow him around and risk a potential confrontation. Intelligent private investigations involve very little action. Basically, if you don’t have to follow someone around, you don’t. Otherwise, you could get hurt. Criminal background checks are every bit as important to private investigations as are photos. Personally, I prefer the former over the latter. After all, it is much less work to do the background check.

If you a parent, then you will know from experience that your children will - at some time or another - pester you to get a pet.

When they are young, this might mean that they want a cuddly, fluffy type of pet such as a puppy, a kitten, a rabbit, or guinea pig. Or maybe they have their little hearts set on something simpler to keep - such as a goldfish, hamster, stick insect or caterpillar!

Most parents end up reaching some sort of compromise so that the chosen pet satisfies the child’s needs but does not mean that they have many years of looking after an expensive animal.

All of this changes though when your child becomes a teenager.

My 16-year-old grandson, Jason, is typical. He had kept guinea pigs when he was younger. He built hutches for them in our garden shed and they used to run around the garden squeaking wildly and keeping the lawn trimmed by eating the grass.

But as soon as my grandson entered those teenage years, he decided that he wanted something a little bit different and more exotic. And that is when he got Franky the ferret!

Now, until Franky arrived on the scene, I’d always viewed ferrets as being rather smelly creatures that were rather aggressive and certain to bite you. But Jason has shown me how wrong my views are.

He spent a lot of time reading up all he could about taking care of a ferret and how to ensure that Franky made a good pet. Ferrets are quite intelligent creatures and soon learn how to use a litter tray (like a cat) so that they can be kept indoors. They can also be taught not to bite and love playing with toys.

Jason bought the Ferret Lovers Guide from the Internet and this told him everything he needed to know to ensure that Franky has a happy, contented life.
