no flea control
vet says we dont have fleas in our area.
is this the Flea Free your friend uses, SM
I have been desperately looking for an alternative to the topical treatments, as I do not want to put chemicals into by animal companion systems. Would like to know more about your friend's experience with this product and is it the same product, Thanks.

Need recommendations for dog flea control.
Anyone use anything that actually works? I have a golden retriever and I have tried Advantage (which worked in the past when I had cats), but it hasn't helped. I also tried Zodiac Spot-On (cheaper brand) and that didn't work. I have tried flea baths and flea collars as well. Help!
Okay..back with another flea question. sm
Anyone use Frontline Plus on their pets? Found out the Program flea pill really isnt worth buying because it does not kill the cycle of the flea, only adults. I have been reading about the Frontline and it sounds pretty good. I have been using a "generic" store brand topical, but I dont think it is strong enough. I need something for dogs, puppies, and cats. Any ideas before this gets out of control. I have been checking the dogs daily and not finding anything. I found one flea a couple of days ago, but nothing since. About ten years ago we had a terrible flea problem so I know what to look for but I just need a new flea medicine. What do you use?? Thanks!! 
Might be able to do craft shows, flea markets, etc. Get any

Does anyone use Program flea meds for their pets? sm
I have three dogs and a cat that I was using a topical flea med on. We got a new puppy last week and she had fleas. I washed her and got rid of them, but now have noticed a couple of fleas on the other dogs. Not a lot, but some. I have heard that the Program works better than the topical stuff and would like to try it, but it is rather expensive so I am looking for any input before I buy it. Thanks!!
I use Sentinel - flea control and heartworm prevention all in one (sm)
Less for me to remember.
Sentinel. Heartworm and flea protection in one pill. nm

I have also heard that washing with dog/cat flea shampoo kills them although I have never tried it.

Your comment
about checking BC pills will probably draw a lot of fire about teenage sex, etc. However, my daughter's 17-year-old friend just had a baby 3 weeks ago. They had unprotected sex ONCE and she got pregnant. This was a very smart girl, ranked #1 in the class academically, churchgoer, not a drinker, no drugs. She is now missing out on her senior year and all the hoopla, taking classes at home to get her diploma, and raising a baby. It is too late to say she should have abstained, this is the reality of the situation and all concerned are making the best of it. So I say keep checking those BC pills, Mom!
about the comment
I lived in a trailer park for 11 years, and to those who felt offense, I apologize. I know from first-hand experience that not everyone who lives in a trailer or a trailer park is trashy, but there are enough that someone created the saying. This neighbor happens to fit whatever criteria associated with the comment. I didn't live trashy when I lived in trailers, or any apartment I've been in, or in any home, either. It's an attitude and lifestyle that fits the comment...not everyone fits the comment.
Oh, by the way, add to your comment here
The "preachers kids are always the very worst!" You have heard that I am sure.
Well, guess what I am married to a Pastor, I am a Pastor's wife and these are my children who we are talking about. So I guess you can add that to your list of gripes. LOL.
Thank you for you comment.......sm
and I wish you all the best.
People who think that they can deliberately destroy their lives, are inconsiderate, selfish and unthankful towards people who love them.
Self-destruction is a sin, because it is a slow suicide.
Whenever she makes a comment that you
suspect is made as a dig, try smiling pleasantly and saying, "What?" and waiting for a reply. If she is trying to be mean and trying to slip it by everybody else, she may not be willing to explain what she meant. If you do it every time, not quite hearing or understanding those comments, you will tire her out because her zing didn't hit.
That's what I am looking for- opinions from others. Thank you for your comment.
:)
Your comment about an old HS bad apple -
made me laugh, reminds me of a guy I went to school. He used to sell T-shirts at concerts (the fake one's, not put out by the performer/band); was high most of the time; now he is a copyright attorney - talk about ironic.
Another comment about harnesses
Our neighbor was walking his dog with just a collar and leash. The dog was so hyper it it jumped and in the process broke his neck. If he had a harness on this would not have happened. It was totally heartbreaking.
do not let him anger you with this comment
he feels this way because you make more money than him, and after that comment, I would calmly and confidently remind him of that whenever you need to, maybe daily. Also, sit his dumb___ down and make him type one sentence of a hard provider, then calmly and confidently talk down to him and tell him he would never be able to do your job. Calm and confident. Do not ever again let him make you feel that way.
I don't understand the comment
"knowing the girls these days" can you elaborate?
I understand the comment very well
I think a lot of girls now completely out there with their dressing, suggestiveness, forwardness, aggressiveness. I guess trying to keep up with the guys. When you see a prison population go from mostly male to more females than ever, does that not tell you something?
I understood the comment, too
That's why I thought it was offensive.
Your aunt's comment....
''well, the doctors really do not want you to tell them what you think it is or what to do for any ailments.''
I don't understand why you are upset; she was talking about the doctors, not you, and her comment was pretty much right on. Unless I am misunderstanding.
I have some problems, probably fibro or a rheumatoid thing, and am going to doctors now for a workup. I do a LOT of research and I know a lot. But, in my experience so far, if you tell a doctor what you think it is, most will do everything in their power to prove you wrong or will just say no, if they don't think of it first. It's called arrogance and yes a holier than thou attitide.
So I guess I don't understand why this upset you.
Comment on Alli
I'm 45 and started Alli the weekend it came out in mid-June. I weighed about 185 at the time. This morning, I weighed 163. It's been a slow, steady loss. I haven't had any of the "treatment effects" that are talked about with Alli. Just the threat of those treatment effects if you eat too much fat and take Alli are enough... it teaches you to watch your fat grams, which makes you also reduce calories. I haven't felt deprived in the least, but I've learned to eat healthier, less fat, smaller portions. I've been using Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones for my quickie meals, and eating lots of rice, veggies, fruit, whole grains, lean meats. I have lost 20 plus pounds doing Atkins in the past, but gained it all back plus about 10 more. Over the winter, I was the highest ever.. up at about what I was when 9 months pregnant! I feel so much better right now, and I feel confident that when this bottle of Alli runs out, I probably could go without because in these 3 months I've developed habits that I can stick with. Good luck!
What a strange comment.
You were able to discern that from my post? I find THAT strange!
Actually, your assumptions are quite wrong.
I will say a prayer for you, that God may grace you with wisdom and patience.
why the comment about the jocks? nm
!
I had to laugh at this comment sm
when my hubby and I saw her on the TV I just said "Well she obviously doesn't have any friends....cause a true friend would tell her how terrible her eyebrows look."
Very moving - see comment
Very moving, touching, sad, proud, thankful, greatful. There are not enough words to thank all the soldiers fighting for us. I was in the miliary some years ago and this brings back so many memories of why I joined. I can't thank enough these people who fight for our freedom and for freedom for others. I still have a lump in my throat from watching this video. What a wonderful tribute to the soldiers this 15-year-old did in making this.
Probably because that's a stupid comment?
Too bad this wasn't your first comment
to her instead of the rudeness above.
barefoot comment
Did a foot doc tell you that's why your arches fell? My foot doc told me years ago the best thing you can always do is go barefoot when you can and otherwise wear ballet type slippers around the house and flats otherwise. She said women have ruined their feet with heels (I know my mom did.) I'm 65 and am barefoot in the house almost all the time. Hope you footsies stay comfy, though!
I bet this is a comment of Mr,. TechSupport himself...nm
nm
that's a really weird comment...nm
nm
lol, about the head lice comment
never thought of that, and would not be surprised if that was it, she's pretty filthy. Dollars to donuts that was why she shaved the other *hair* LOL!
I did. My original comment was about how my son enjoys
candles. Your very next post in response to mine included the makeup, nail polish and other. I really just didn't understand how liking candles had anything to do with the use of obviously feminine products.
uhhh...did you read the OP's comment??
She said the dog was BARKING at people passing by! How is this "minding her own business?" You are the one who needs a lesson in manners lady. It is extremely rude to bring an animal into a store where other people are trying to mind their own business and shop, especially with a dog that BARKS at people!!
I can't believe all of you are upset about the police comment...
but not that she will be sent to a "meaner mom and dad". lol Priceless and typical.
To me, no biggie. Plus I don't particularly like cops ;)
Poster was having a moment. There is far worse people say and do to kids. And that can be turned around, easily. Geez.
:)
I like DWTS, just haven't seen it enough lately to comment (nm)

I too found that comment funny..sm
After all, she doesn't live in a bubble. You play, you pay...poor baby (the unborn one, that is)...
Hey now watch that fattest comment :)
Adia has often been compared to a mancoon. She is not really very large though even though others say she reminds them of a racoon or a beaver, she sort of slinks when she runs. She is kind of petite, with little short legs and small head, but chubby, weighing at 14.8 pounds as of today. What is a fisher, all I could think of was a king fisher.
Thanks for the kind words on the spread. Really loved the look of it, but baby it was hot hot hot, and forget it when the kids puked on it. It would be perfect for you in Maine. Love love Love purple, my favorite pillows thanks.
Surgery will be around $700, pull that one out of my @@#$ss somehow. Hopefully get good tax return, just hope I am making the right decision. He said mainy because she is young and large, that she would benefit from this surgery, especially down the road when she ages to offset the arthritis. Thanks so much for your kind thoughts. You rock Hayseed. Artsy fartsy picture of my beloved below.
No; the burp comment was random.
I can't believe somebody came on here to lecture us on proper horse terminology and then bragged about her wealth as if we were to bow to her "superiority." She actually gave us a scolding. What a way to drop in for a visit!
This is a very inappropriate and wrong comment, why do you say this?..nm

Reading the first comment on this Youtube
We need more of this today. The generation of MTV'ers and Xbox'ers is a pathetic spectacle.
Watched a few seconds but manners we learned from our parents and grandparents. It was a wonderful time to be raised, totally unlike today. I would not trade my younger years for anything, such a glorious time. Hey, these golden years are turning out about the same. Don't hate on what you apparently missed out on.
I think her comment was meant for me, niot for you/nm
nm
Reading your comment I am answering,
I think that your daughter, at least on this trip she asked you to take her with you, did not behave appropriate.
She keeps criticizing you and telling you to change, whereas she has to make some changes in her behavior.
There comes a time when it is the children's turn to give and help.
Explain this to your daughter.
Thanks for your comment- I am just checking to see if others thought it was 'more' than it sho

No dear, you are wrong. The "I heard" comment (sm)
was a sideline to my research. I only "heard" about his "documentary" (I use the term loosely) on the radio. I don't know that for a fact, but I did research, mostly on the internet, of well-renowned scientists who are of the strong opinion that this is only an earth cycle, not doom and gloom for all. Believe what you will. It is of no consequence to me.
The funny (sad?) thing about Simon's comment (sm)
is that Sanjaya thought he was sincerely complimenting him. He didn't seem to understand that Simon was hoping if perhaps he made a positive comment instead of a negative one that Sanjaya might actually get the boot this week. Let's hope it works!
Geez.. these aren't videos. You don't know so why comment?
These are images of real women and children, in Africa and in our country, some living in extreme poverty, some dying of AIDS and malaria. It's not just a video.
I made that comment yesterday and felt bad ever since.
amy
Romey I posted my comment on U-Tube
I said there God Bless all rescuers. I cannot describe the feelings I have after viewing this video. I guess heartbroken would be close.
looool, what a witty comment!!! Sooo
