does everyone here like frogs?

I know several local ponders who hate them as much as I do. Our pond is
just outside my daughter's bedroom window and the noise is enough to keep
anyone awake at night. I often find her camped out on the floor of her
brothers' room. What can be done to minimize the attraction of them. Our
pond is not very naturalistic, as it is just a rectangular koi pond with an
urn fountain in the middle.

We live in the woods, it's music to us at night. You certainly know the
change of seasons. They sit on the door steps at night, we really need to be
careful coming and going. Even my Chesapeake Bay Retriever carries them
around in his mouth to play with them. I noticed my fish today attacking a
frog in the pond. I guess they wanted to suck the algae of him, he didn't
care much for being lunch he held onto the lily pad for dear life. Reminded
me of an reenactment of Jaws.

Some people buy "White Noise" machines to make "surf" sounds to help them
sleep. The frog/toad chirping serves the same function for me. How about a
white noise machine in the bedroom of the disturbed sleeper to drown out the
frog noises.

My daughter uses a fan to drown out the noice. Her window is right by the
pond area.

Fans and a/c window units are good for that, too.

I love frogs there song puts us to sleep at night

We've never had any that made any noise. I want to hear frogs. Of course,
I'm thinking of the nice peeping noises.

Get snakes to get rid of the frogs? Reminds me of this old lady, perhaps you
guys have heard of her?

There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I'm not sure how she swallowed a cow.
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die!

People who can't sleep because of noise are wimps

They should spend a year with my old dormmate from back in college. Heck if
you could sleep with the noise that went on in my floor, you could sleep
anywhere. I know this, because I recently feel asleep in the back seat of my
cousin's car. He's got one of those cars, where you can hear the music from
a few blocks down.

Yeah, that would be fine. This is reminiscent of an angry duck.
