It could be worse, ita--I've found them in my purse.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sometimes ants just wander for no reason at all, great highways of streaming ants going nowhere, presumably looking for something that is not there.
Robin, I'm glad to hear your niece is getting help. Having the problem identified is huge. This is gong to be hard for all of you, my best wishes to your family.

great highways of streaming ants going nowhere
The wandering tribes of ants, searching for their promised land, destined to spend 40 years in the land of ita.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Their timing sucks, since I'm out of here in under two weeks.
Well, I guess that's how you lose tribes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There is an ant-ita joke in there somewhere, but I am not sure how to make it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

And, unlike Jews at Passover Seder, ants eat pizza.*

Robin, I'm glad your niece s getting the help she needs.
Susan, I'm agreeing with the people who told you to quit obsessing. Annabel is fine. She has parents who love her and an ability to amuse herself, both of which will keep her happy for a long time. (Though I'm sure that when/if I have kids, I'll worry as much as you do, if not more.)
Aimee, what did the cats do?

They probably only have to wander until the current generation has died out. However long an ant generation is. Feel free to smite them, it builds character.

If I only had a brain...

I read in the paper that they are looking for not-wet. They always appear indoors during rainy season. Thus proving that ants, unlike some people, do have the sense to come in out of the rain.

The times I've had major ants have previously been in the summer. I thought it was heat driving them out. The sorties this year have been tentative, and they haven't actually made it into the food.
In the summer? They're hunting. I couldn't leave food on the counter during their season for more than ten minutes without losing it to the hordes.
My fingers are crossed that the new place has better pest control.
