'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, how much does one pay a babysitter per hour these days? And if that babysitter is a former student who literally made teh house 100% cleaner than we left it? Including mopping the living room (no seriously?)
Free room and board for as long as she wants to stick around, I'm thinking.
OK, WTF. Just saw an ad that said "even one flea" in your home can turn into thousands. How does that work?
It's an already pregnant flea?
Well it's potentially true for cockroaches. (Did you know that a female cockroach only mates once, and that's enough for the rest of her life?)
I was just at PetSmart and realized the only hamsters/gerbils, etc., available were males. Which ... struck me as weird.

No wonder they'll never be extinct.
I haven't given my pets flea meds for about four years now (I have an ick factor of putting pesticides into my cats) and despite finding one once or twice a year on them, they haven't been a problem (makes me wonder about the pesticides being put down in the environment in general in the Long Island/NJ areas).
I'm now giving them Frontline Plus because I now live in a tick infested area (good morning, my deer).
One of my cats always seems to get a flea or two showing up on her by the end of the month despite the Frontline. The other never seems to have fleas even if I don't treat her (she's the hard one to get the Frontline properly onto). I haven't ended up with flea bites on my ankles or anything, so I assume they are getting killed off almost as fast as they come into the house., but it is disheartening the way they keep coming back on the one cat.
I seem to remember some discussion here of a bus line that was much more comfortable than Greyhound. Someone was considering taking it. Anyone know or remember whereof I speak? Thanks. Gar.
I haven't given Bartleby his Frontline (not the plus, as we don't need the extra features) yet this year, but tonight I think I will. The mosquitoes are rampant, which means the fleas can't be far behind. He'll probably only get it this month and next.
Amy, are you a hamsterologist? Or did they just SAY they were all males?? They probably want people to THINK they're buying male hamsters and aren't going to suddenly end up with baby hamsters. But I doubt it's TRUE.
