Fleas, yeck! Tasha is on Comfortis. It is a pill that is working great. Only problem, Geordi can't take it. It will sterilize him. Don't want that! So he will be on one of the topicals or perhaps Sentinel. We treat the house and yard. I need to get more borax...

Good morning everyone..hope all of you have a great day and stay either warm or cool and dry and safe! In a little while, after I've consumed a pot of coffee, I'm going out to the garage /storage and straighten up the mess for the movers on the 22nd. It's the worst thing I have to do so I'm gonna try to knock it out and be done with it. I've moved up the move date from the 28th to the 22nd. cuz i'm doing so good with this packing and such that i'm already half done!:rickroll:
Morning, Kay! I'm up early for a change. Was having a weird dream So I got up. That's twice in the last week that I've awoken during a weird dream. I can remember the other one, but have already forgotton what this one was. They always lead to coming awake in the middle of a full blown a panic attack so I've trained myself to wake up when they start getting weird. Stop it before it goes there! I win!
Great that you were able to change up your move date! I soooo detest moving! Moved around every year or two until I was in my mid 40's & I avoid it like the plague! Be careful with the heavy stuff, sweetie. Don't mess yourself up! That just makes any kind of moving so much harder! [emoji1]

Borax? I've always heard boric acid. But mabe that's just for roaches & water bugs.

Hmmm...being proactive instead of procrastinating? Excellent plan! May have to try that sometime. Good on ya for being ahead of the game and getting to move early! Here's a little treat for you.... I've been craving a chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron skillet with vanilla ice cream. Probably because I've been off sugar for 2 weeks. vaping dessert flavors has certainly helped a lot!

My cousin has one that talks to her - tells her when to shift gears - tells her about approaching traffic, braking - just about everything. I would not last 3 days with a car that told me how to drive...
oh hell no, I don't think so! that would make me crazy, and cranky!
A few minutes later he asks me which organs he should choose to donate. I respond, "all of them, or any that are needed." Silence.
45 minutes later, while waiting for the finished permit, I hear, "Oh! When I die!"
That's my boy!
oh that was priceless!

At 29, Clarence White, IMO, had achieved Jimi Hendrix ability as an acoustic flat picker as well as being an absolute master of the Fender Telecaster
Never heard of him but I like him

I just got back from the groomers with my little Chiquita. The groomer noticed fleas, so tomorrow I get to bomb the house. Glad I have everything to do it.
don't forget the yard too. Sorry you and chiquita have to deal with this. She's such a cutie!

I arranged to be off for my birthday tomorrow.
Hope you have a fantastic day!!! Very smart to start taking off in the middle of the week. Best work schedule I ever had was working 11 hrs a day, Mon, Tues, Off Wed, worked Thurs Fri, Off sat and sun

I've moved up the move date from the 28th to the 22nd. cuz i'm doing so good with this packing and such that i'm already half done!:rickroll:
that's fantastic!!! Just remember all the tiny lil stuff that will take way longer than you think it will when it looks like you're nearly done. I found a ton of that stuff. Of course, I was beyond pooped and moving veryyyyyy slowly by that time. It's possibly it could have taken me 30 minutes by then to pack a hairbrush! :lol:

Good on ya hun!! That would be so hard to cut out sugar, it's in everything. If it's been 2 weeks, they say that's about how long it takes to get outta your system craving wise. So you may be nearly there, hang in!! this may be your body's last ditch effort to try to make ya eat some!

In a brief Internet search, I wasn't able to find any statement that said Borax eats through the exoskeleton of any insect. (I have read previously that diatomaceous earth does just that, but is difficult to use properly and can be very hazardous to humans.)

Statements and opinions seem to be all over the map, to the extent that it's impossible for me to determine what is true and what is BS. Here is one article that compares Borax to boric acid, but other articles have quite different opinions, and I'm not saying that this article is correct:

I absolutely can relate to that, although my hairbrush may have taken more like an hour for me to pack. Moving depresses the heck out of me. I do not EVER want to move again. That doesn't mean I'd refuse to move if it was ABSOLUTELY necessary.

The Raid, is it a bomb you set off in the house or a spray? I'm wondering if there are "fumigation" type bombs you can set off in the closed up house that will take care of the problem. The dog slept in the bed with us while we were there and I'd like to make sure that all areas are treated.
I have the bomb style. Now I just have to cover some of our stuff and set them off. I will be a couple hours before I do anything.

I wish I felt like eating. I brought my waffle maker home last night. Had to go get some warm clothes. Suppose to get down to freezing this weekend here. Of course, my feet and boo-tay are already there.
