ION, the lawyers decided that I kind of screwed up my interview--until I pointed out that anyone who reads that article and actually cares has already made up their mind, anyway. Bah.

Bah! You did well, Consuela.

It's OK if my new glasses are giving me a little headache, right?

New glasses or contacts always give me a headache for a day or two. Is it a new prescription?

Consuela, I thought you sounded fine, but I have to admit, I had no idea Consuela wasn't actually your name. Oops?

Yeah, it's a slightly higher prescription, I believe.

Wow, goodbye TT. That's a weird feeling.

Wow, TT will be gone.

I remember visiting the library to look up that Buffy show on the internets, and how TT was the first thing I found!

Qoute of the evening: "Wow, Mom, whale penises are amazing!" Thank you, David Attenborough, for making this parenting moment possible.

ION, how do you kill ants?

I'll put a plug in for diatomaceous earth: [link]

It's safe around pets. Spray it under baseboard, across thresholds, etc. Because it is a powder, it's messy, but effective. I put it around the perimeter of my basement, under the sink, baseboards. Sprinkled a little just last night on a writhing ant farm right outside my door and the colony is gooooone!

Loki had an hourlong "walk" tonight. He met Pooch. I don't think he's a fan. Pooch soo wanted to make friends, but Loki was rather riled. I could calm him down, however. And he got visits from three of his human neighbors, so he liked that....

Yup, just be sure to get the food-grade d.e. for use around the pets/humans. I sprinkle it liberally in my backyard to help control flies, etc from breeding. I also have no tick/flea/ant problems.

Ha, flea!!

So, it looks like I would get diatomaceous earth at a garden store, or maybe Home Depot?

I kind of want to get it just so I can say "diatomaceous earth."
