It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

So far, I haven't found a spot-on treatment that I'm not allergic to. I did a concerted effort of borax and diatomaceous earth and one round of flea bombs when I was going to be away for several days and gave him Capstar while he was away.

The status is NOT quo.

Ginger, have you tried Revolution? It's apparently the gentlest of the bunch. It's the only kind bunnies can use, my bunny-rescuing friend tells me.

I'm probably allergic to the damn fragrance.

I accidentally soaked my hand in Frontline this week. Thank God I didn't have a reaction, but it was scary there for a while.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Front room, entry and dining room salted/Boraxed.

Funny thing: I started off laying salt/borax on the thresholds and windowsills.

Then I realized I wasn't facing demon fleas in the SPNverse (OR AM I?!?!) and started to sprinkle it like baking soda on a carpet.

My salon doesn't expect to reopen until the weekend. Means they must've taken on some water.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

They are bloodsuckers who might be repelled by garlic. Coincidence?

I found a slug in my kitchen this afternoon, I should totally salt my thresholds.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Erin, I think I'd do the same if I had to do that here (thresholds and windowsills).

We have been pretty lucky here with no fleas (knocking on wood that it stays that way). A friend tried to tell me that we don't get fleas in this part of Colorado. I don't know if that is true or not, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it for now.

It's annoying, because I've never had to deal with fleas or ticks on any of my pets, but now, we have 2 indoor/outdoor pets.

And Arthur is a Corgi, so he's low to the ground, and has a dense, greasy-ish coat, so he was literally hopping with fleas. You could look down at him and see a couple of fleas just lolling about.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, lordy. Corgi coat. Say no more.
