Regarding flea killing (but not killing our flea!), my cat can't handle Frontline or Advantage, so we now use Revolution and I am very happy with it. No fleas and no poor kitty retching everywhere for 3 days straight.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Those are awesome posters! I gave them my e-mail, I know someone who needs those desperately.

Because books.
Five year old boys - how is it we let them live, again?
Because they become big strong men who ... make fart jokes?
Wait.

Our wings are not tired.
Revolution also does something else, right? Heartworm or something? One of my cats uses it. The cat I inherited with the house came with some supplies including 6 months Revolution.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hi. Still alive. Still not sure about new job. DH healing well, but still sore. Says it feels like someone kicked him for hours in the ribs. Thank you all SO VERY MUCH for being there with me through all of this. It's really helped, more than I can ever say.
I think I'm going to ask the new job for a company boat instead of a company car. Good god almighty is it wet here. Towson was almost floating. Glad I didn't sneak through Baltimore on the way home like I did this morning (for sara: Security to Gwynn Oak to Rogers to Northern Pkwy to 83N to 695 to Charles Street or York Rd). Surprisingly, cutting through the city in the morning is quicker than sitting on 70 waiting to get on 695 only to sit there as well.
PA's getting blasted as well. Water in the basement of the restaurant again; in fact, it will be in the shop proper. The Susquehanna is supposed to crest at 26.2 feet in the Harrisburg area, and 25 ft is the magic number to force a health inspection when it's all said and done. Blergh. My poor sister.

Maria! So good to see you. We've all been thinking about you. May the rain stop soonest!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Thanks for the recommendations, folks! Currently using Wet 'N Wild brand, which smudges far too easily for my taste.

Oh, Maria, glad to hear from you, and stay dry!

Maria! You come pretty close to here! But yeah, good to avoid that route going home. I think they had a fair amount of flooding at the exits around there. One thing about cutting through is that while there are stoplights, but there are alternate routes!
Thought of you when I saw they're opening gates on the Conowingo.
I am surprised to only have a trickle in the basement so far. And relieved. I don't know what the totals are so far, but it's filled my watering can to 3/4. Which is large. And half covered.
It's nuts out there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Good to hear from you, Maria!
I just went to check my basement, and it looks like it didn't get any new water today, and the landlord cleaned up the water that was there before. The floor and walls are all damp, but there aren't any puddles.
I'm trying to figure out alternate routes out of my town. The route that I usually take is along the street that's always the first to get flooded, since it runs parallel to the creek and just a few feet away. Every other route that I could think of, and even every other way that I could find from looking at a map, goes up a really steep hill that I really wouldn't want to drive while the roads were slippery. But I don't actually have to go anywhere tomorrow -- I've got an appointment to get my new ankle brace fitted, but if I can't get there, then I can cancel it -- so I'll be OK, unless something else happens.
