Flea Treats - Flea Repellent Product Review

nobody@vox.com(thegrumblebunny) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:39:55 -0700

What are you thinking putting that chemical insecticide flea control product on your pet that has a warning label that reads:

Mr. yuck

May cause birth defects in humans, blindness in children, and strip paint. If you get it on your skin or in your eyes go right to the nearest emergency room because you'll die within 36.75 minutes if you don't?

A while back I tried FLEA TREATS, an all natural B vitamin flea repellent for my cats. I honestly did not think it would work when I had given them half the bottle and they still had fleas. I called the company and was told to "be patient". I have to say I really thought it was just a ruse to get me to buy another bottle. I am very pleased to tell you that: It was NOT.

Somewhere towards the bottom of the first bottle the FLEA TREATS had finally built up in their systems and now they no longer have any fleas. No, they do not.

I do still find one, possibly two, fleas on them when they come in from the hillside, but those fleas are on top of the hair, not settled in for the long haul down at the hair root/skin level - what I mean to say is they may bring in a flea or two once in a blue moon when they are out in the tall grass, but they don't seem to ever even get bitten anymore and no longer suffer from flea INFESTATION. There is NO constant scratching and itching, no 100s of fleas, no flea dirt, no flea eggs, no little colony throwing picnics on the cat's back.

I am on my second bottle of FLEA TREATS,

so what can I tell you?

1. THEY WORK, but take a little while to build-up in the animal's system.

2. They must taste OK, because my cats eat them with no hesitation. However, the tablets are slightly large in size for a cat, so I usually cut them in half or I crush them and put the tablets in their wet food.

3. I did notice a change in their appetite (decreased) when I started giving them the FLEA TREATS, but they got used to the B vitamin rush and now are back to regular dietary habits.

4. I've spoken to the owner of FLEA TREATS on the phone. I trust this company with the health and well being of my cats and my credit card number.

5. I will continue to give my cats FLEA TREATS because they are safe and reasonably priced, but my main reason is because THEY WORK.

And sometimes curtains make good curtains

Third time is the charm.

I finally got curtains I like (at half price even)!! They are chocolate brown crinkle sheers. I hung them with some cream color linen tab tops I already had behind them and they look very nice together. I think some gold ribbon sewn along the top would make a nice trim. I have $6.76 left out of the $50. I budgeted, so decorative ribbon trim it is, or maybe some little bells, that'd be cute. I'd love that when the wind blows.

Here are the original green striped ones. Nice, huh?

Here are the new ones. Maybe at night I can get a better shot - the sun was streaming through the window when I took these.

No OMG, this is such a blast from the past it deserves to be typed all the way out: Oh My Gawd.

Cream butter and sugar together, add flour, only just mix, make a loose ball, roll it out to 1/2" thick, make little fork holes, REFRIGERATE for at least an hour or more, then bake at 300 for 30 minutes.
Cool well before removing from pan.
Cut in wedges, eat whole round, make another before anyone notices.

Vox Hunt: Oh Canada!

In honor of Canada Day, show us your favorite Canadian.
If the question had been show us your favorite Canadian band, I'd say SMOASP in a heartbeat.

But, it wasn't.

My favorite Canadian is Tommy Chong - from Sister Mary Elephant to That 70's Show, and everything he's done in between.

Out of anyone in your address book, with whom would you most like to have lunch today?

With the person that knows where I will I find my next job.

I am bored out of my mind.

Roller Skating Songs

nobody@vox.com(thegrumblebunny) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:14:48 -0700

What were your favorite Roller Disco Songs of the 70s?

The 6th Grade Serenade question got to me, because as I stated before in more than one prior post, I am 1978.

In the 6th grade, the thing to do was go to the movies and the Roller Rink, so we did.

I remember begging my mom to let me go see the movie ROLLER BOOGIE at the theater.

I thought that was the end all of the coolness spectrum - a movie about roller skating - I was in heaven. A year or two ago, I found Roller Boogie online at movieflix.com (sorry, the site down as of posting time and you have to join with a paid membership, and at the time I had one so I watched it and it was still a good movie even if a bit dated). This morning, I found a really great fan site dedicated to the movie, Roller Boogie - check it out!

I always loved roller skating songs ever since I was a kid. Melanie's Brand New Key comes to mind. Dire Straits, Skateaway. Peaches and Herb's Roller Skatin' Mate. The Roller Boogie theme by Bob Etsy. And of course, Cher's Hell on Wheels.

I also remembered really loving this song from the movie, so I thought I'd throw it in!
