I have the Advantage on them already Cass. (I was at the vet's within an hour of finding a flea on me.) I'm just about to wash the bedding and vacuum. After that, we'll see. I have some carpet spray for fleas that's been effective before, but I hate to use it unless we're totally infested. Maybe I'll get some Borax.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I would totally rec the borax. Seriously, nothing else ever worked for me. I wash everything and then do the floors (and couches and stuff if it is a bad infest). Sprinkle the borax on, vacuum up later (an hour usually but I have left it overnight when I have been just a wee bit obsessive), enough will stay and it just desicates them dead.
But then, as I said, I am really really allergic to fleas and apparently really tasty so if there is a flea, I get bit and if I get bit, it gets infected. So I really want fleas dead and gone for sure.
And, since it took me a while to find it the first time, borax is findable in the laundry aisle.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think my toaster oven is about ready to go to appliance heaven. Does anyone have a brand/model they would recommend?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Perkins, I think that's highly likely. I'm off to a friend's birthday BBQ but I'll check in or Gmail you later.

Sounds good, JZ.

Ah, the crowd are booing the announcers as they introduce Celine Dion at the Canadian Live8 concert. All is right with the world.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Back from errands. We also looked at carpets, as we have to replace the dining room/living room carpet(and possibly the master bedroom carpet as well) before we put the condo on the market. It's a little difficult to find matching carpet when you don't have a sample of the existing carpet at hand...

Yes!
Oh, wait, that's to JZ and I live no where close enough to visit. Dang. Have fun without me!

Life is indeed good. When did I get to be so mean?

Well, she was never intended to be deployed in her own country.

Happy Birthday, Frankenbuddha!
The mail lady and potential dvds in my mailbox just conspired to make me put on pants. Temporarily. But now I have the first disc of the first season of Forever Knight. Deborah Duchene might very well have been my first inkling that I skewed notstraight.
I also watered the lawn, the mint, some white with purple daisy-ish thing and the jasmine. Then planted my basil for the summer very late. I have a mini tomato plant to plant also but I forgot what I am supposed to do with it. The guy at the farmer's market told me last Sunday when I bought it but I must have tuned out. Something about training it? I need the hivemind obviously.

the 10 least affordable cities for paycheck earners areAll of the West Coast places that I have lived in or want to... Not surpised, but I hate being reminded.
I wonder if they factor in the cost of owning a car into their calculationsTom, I added up the costs of owning, maintaining, running and insuring my car the other day and damn near passed out at the final number.
God, I wish I didn't just love San Diego. It's obviously an abusive relationship.

Intelligent smart bathThis, however, might be the best thing ever. I love baths. My bath caddy can hold bath goodies, a book, a candle and a glass of wine. A few more candles scattered about the room and my iPod and I am set for a nice long soak. My tub is original to the house (1928) I think and very deep and long. Also cast iron. Takes two fills of dinky old hot water heater to get a nice bath but it holds the temperature beautifully once filled.

Plus then you hear about these attacks and how sharks are out of control, etc. Which means people will decide to kill and maim sharks and I hate that.
I think violent videogames and the sexually permissive media has lead to a generation of sharks mired in an anything-goes, relativistic morality.I am big with the shark fear, but even I know that it is all about the peer pressure. One shark bites a kid, and then they all have to just to still seem all cool... Shark schools can be a rough place.
