Be careful with pepper spray, you'll get your dogs too

In Reply to: Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt) - If your (or your dogs' ) personal safety is at
and possibly yourself if the wind is blowing just right. The stuff is extremely powerful and won't just bring down the offending animal.
I agree with calling animal control, as they are the "animal police" and the "people police" won't even bother.
The dog owner needs to be reported whether he was in his yard trying to get his dog back in or not. Sure, maybe the dog "got loose," but he should have at least been decent enough to apologize.

Will pepper spray work?
I was considering getting some as the dogs behind me mauled another dog (blind in one eye, collapsed lung, laceration on its front leg, back claws broken off from resisting being pulled under) by pulling it under the fence between the yards. Animal control says we can't do anything as long as the dogs are fenced in. But, it is just a matter of time before they dig a big enough hole to get under the fence - as it is, they look like they can make it over the fence if they try hard enough. Animal control told me to build a privacy fence with my own money. TG we are moving soon. I swear if those dogs come in my yard and get anywhere near my kids, I will be tempted to shoot them. They have bitten two neighbors already.
Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
Be careful using hot pepper and such
Animals will literally scratch out their eyes if they get that near them. There are other more humane options depending on the animal.

Brewer's yeast in tablet form, Purple can Raid that you can spray on dogs and bedding
I tend to find that fleas love pink-skinned kritters the best!!
Here's a tip: Put fabric softener and hot water in spray bottle and spray the paper down. Works
This is hilarious! I'll be very careful submitting

Probably staining the new fence we put up to keep our dogs in and other dogs out.
The neighbor dog won't stop trying to attack our dogs, so we put up a nice big fence. Should do the trick. Doesn't keep the rabbits out, though. We'll BBQ, too. Can't go far. Hubby is on call for the weekend with his job.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

DON'T use the RED PEPPER! Can you
imagine if you had surgery and got capsaicin from the peppers in the wound? OUCH! Try men's or boy's underpants. Turn them around backwards so you can pull the tail through the crotch hole, then pull the waistband tight and safety pin it. We used to use that for our female breeding dogs who were in heat. Otherwise, you can try him for a few minutes at a time without the collar to see if he'll leave it alone.
LOL!! :) Me too...with salt and pepper too! NM

Cayenne pepper may help
look up "health benefits of cayenne pepper" on Google and/or www.curezone.com.
Some of the benefits are amazing, and pain relief is one of them, increased blood flow to extremities, etc.
Gotta have Dr. Pepper
The phone, cell phone, TV remote, lots of post-it notes, the blinds up on the window for sunshine (if I'm lucky). The standards already mentioned, Kleenexe's, q-tips, fan, lotion.
Things that I have to have but not by choice........the dogs at my feet (hopefully not on the pedal), the cat roaming around annoying the dogs, and last but not least, hubby in the next room snoring away! (thank heavens for noise cancelling headphones!)
No, he is salt and pepper so it is really hard...
to find the fleas on him when bathing him. The long haired guy is blonde.
Black pepper very bad for arthrtis.

FeBreeze Air Spray
It eliminates odors in the air rather than covering them up. It comes in a variety of scents so you are bound to find one that you like.
We have a very small kitchen so cooking odors saturate the whole house, plus, to make matters worse, we have a dog so I always use the Febreeze air spray to get rid of odors in the air & regular Febreeze for the sofa, curtains, etc. Its a life saver!! 
Red hot pepper poured in the garden works wonders. sm
I had moles and rabbits and cats eating everything in mine so I poured red pepper and bought a cheap can of jalapeno peppers and threw them around as well. As if by magic, all the animals went away. I just got the cheap 2 for $1 stuff at Dollar General.
I use Endust Electronics spray...
Look for a blue can. I'd never use anything else. It's also antistatic.
Other than that, you can get those special LCD cleaning kits (they come in packs of wrapped towelettes)-just look in the Office Depot catalog.
oh, when done? Spray Lysol Disinfectant...nm
Spray-painting daughter
Another thing that matters is the composition of the pavement, concrete vs. blacktop for example. Concrete is porous, and has a tendency to absorb paint into the pores rather than it just sitting on the surface. Heh. Relax, and think how much you would enjoy their little art project 20 years from now. It will wear off eventually.
maybe spray outside the house around the base? NM

try Listerine in a spray bottle
it works in my car. I had problems with ants getting in the car during summer. I was told to spray (soak) the carpet, and WA la... no more ants!!
BBQ shrimp, red pepper and squash; garden salad, new potatoes.
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive. I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com. No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
Spray paint is oil based. Regular cleaners
will not remove it. My recommendation is for you to go to the paint department of your local Home Depot or Lowe's and ask them. They should be very knowledgable about it. I used to work in the paint department at Home Depot, but it was a loooooong time ago, so I cannot remember what product you should use.
I just make like a meat loaf mixture with egg, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, egg and milk. SM
Form into patties, cook with some chopped or sliced onions, then add an envelope of gravy mix and water, cook a few minutes. Easy, you can add other stuff or use canned gravy. Enjoy!

I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
Be VERY careful.
That kind of cruelty to animals is an indication of a very deep problem. You are a much better person than I would have been under the circumstances. I don't care what kind of sob story he tried to spin, I'd have sued him for everything he had for the false police report AND pressed charges for animal cruelty. At the very least, you might want to ask him to retract his accusations IN WRITING and send copies to the police department and the animal control folks, just in case the girl tries on some other type of false accusation to get attention. Your good heart is admirable and I am humbled by your charitable reaction, but at the same time, you must protect yourself, your family, and your innocent dog. JMHO.
Soy can also help, but you have to be careful...
as soy also can inhibit the thyroid function. One serving a day is all that is recommended to help with menopausal symptoms.
Thank you! Be careful though,
horsewhipped for your "liberal agenda".
OSI be careful?
Why?

I wouldn't use a vacuum, some of the parts are tiny and you could end up sucking them up. The canned air is better, it won't damage anything.
Me, too, but be careful (sm)
