You can use salt in your carpets. Sprinkle it on heavy
use your broom to work it in and leave overnight and then vacuum like heck the next couple of days. My mom would put her vacuum cleaner bag in the microwave to kill the fleas cause they can get out and changing bags every time gets expensive. The salt dehydrates the fleas. You can bathe dogs in tea tree oil, though I warm you it is a strong smell for days. I read recently you could put a few days on their collar, but again this is very strong and I couldn't tolerate it. I haven't tried it, but boil 2 lemons, let cool, and then refrigerate. Use it as a spray every other day, being careful to keep out of eyes and other sensitive areas.
You should also wash all bedding in hot water if you don't ready and this will kill any fleas in the bedding, but is a good idea to do anyway.
There many options available through your vet if this doesn't work.
Fleas seem to be bad this year. We adopted kittens from the shelter and we've had a difficult time getting rid of them. We are using a pill, plus a topical; both from the vet, and still have them, just a few of them, but enough to drive the animals bonkers.
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
What burns me up is......
when I used to stand in line to buy diapers and formula and baby food for our 2 little ones, back when we didn't make nearly as much as we do now, and seeing a woman in front of me with a cell phone on her hip, beautiful manicured nails, and a nicer outfit that I was wearing standing there buying food with WIC coupons and food stamps. There's something wrong with MANY of the "pictures" out there. There are those who work and pay for their responsibilities, and then there are those who expect others to do it for them.
This burns me up.
MTs who grab work off the weekend work load even though they are scheduled Monday through Friday. You see, I am scheduled to work the weekend and MUST sit here for 8 or more hours a day (4 hr turn around for radiology). When this person comes in a grabs up my work, I end up sitting idle so he can have additional income.
This is the most thoughtless thing I can imagine in the work force when production is how our pay is based. An MT who would do this should be reprimanded by management yet for some reason, he is not. He signs on and off at will though his schedule is a 40 hour week.
Moral suffers management when this occurs. We other MTs who DO follow our schedule have no choice but to go into other people's schedules to grab some of THEIR work. Then, we end up working 10 hour shifts which means we have to work off the clock (breaking another rule).
Why not insist everyone work their schedule and follow the rules.
I have already let my supervisor know. I do not know why they think this MT is so special that this can be overlooked. I am not going to sit here with knots in my stomach every Sunday for the next five years because this particular MT thinks his family's income is more important than my family's income.
Thanks for the space to vent this. And if you area reading this, greedy MT, know that I will eventually be popping up on your shift and then it will be a free for all. The only other choice is to lower my cost of living on your behalf and I just do NOT see that happening.
Key lime truffle....mmmmm....
Forgot...also need to add lime juice. NM

You might try Silvadene for those burns. :)

Noooooo! Don't!!! It burns so badly you will wish it had been where it was before! SM
I had the same thing happen to me. Called my doctor and he said well put it up front, same tissue. YOIKS!! I called him from my seat in a cold-water bath and told him to mark that suggestion out of his book.
Just moved out of a rental. This just burns me up..
We just bought a house and moved out of a renal townhome that is owned by a huge property management company. I always always go the extra mile to make sure I leave a place clean, way more than a lot of people. I spent hours cleaning and we didn't leave a single speck of anything in that house. The carpets were immaculate because we had plastic runns in the high traffic areas, etc. I scrubbed baseboards, window sills, floors, painted over all the scratches and nail holes (same paint), everything. Got our refund yesterday on the deposit and they charged us for ELEVEN HOURS of cleaning. In the description they said that this that and the other thing was VERY dirty, counter tops being one thing. I swear I scoured the counters with cleanser not long before I finished the job. I find it very offensive to have all these things listed as VERY dirty. They're full of you know what. Do you think it's just a racket to ding you for more money? They also charged us 160 dollars to shampoo those perfectly clean carpets. It seems like cleaning that is not beyond the usual amount should be THEIR responsibility as part of the business of renting out their units. They just want to pass on everything including routine maintenence onto their tenants. Just had to vent. 
If it isn't a real high traffic area, sprinkle baking soda on it, leave it overnight,
and vacuum it in the morning. Good luck!
It is because the body burns fat instead of glycogen for energy. sm
Without carbs, there is no insulin spike to store fat as fat in the body, so it goes through it or is burned as energy. The body preferentially burns fat stores since there is no glycogen to burn because there is no consumption of carbs.
Brendan Fraser, stuffed jalapenos, and Corona with lime.
I drink San Pelligrino sparkling water with a lime wedge
and that does the job
How about snakes?
I found a little small snake in the house in December, it got away before I could get it and we haven't seen it since.
Help! Snakes!
 Snake in the heat/air vent. His head was right at the vent exploring to see if he could fit through but he's too big I think. Anybody know what to do? He's disappeared now so worried where he went to and if there are more. Thanks.
Keep snakes away!!
Sprinkle some moth crystals around in your flower beds around your house and the snakes won't come around. This worked for me!
Good Luck!
You must not have snakes around...
I have lots and it's extremely unnerving to see, step on, or work in the garden and have one slither away from where you just had your hand. We do have poisonous ones too. If there were anyway to get rid of them, I certainly would. Unfortunately, some snakes do "hold their ground" and will bite if you unknowingly bother them. I had one fall off the roof onto my glider right where I had been sitting a few minutes before. He was trying to get to the bird house hanging near by. Needless to say, I moved the birdhouse away from the house.
I don't like snakes either.
May seem odd, since I have 5 PET geckos... but they have legs. Big difference. There's just something WRONG about anything that can move without benefit of limbs....
Comedian Bill Engvall talked about being afraid of snakes. "Snakes are of the devil. It's in the Bible. Look it up."
One time back in my teens, before we knew what we know now about skin cancer and sun damage, I was sunbathing in the back hard, opened my eyes, and found myself nose to nose with a 3-foot black and white king snake. Perfectly harmless--but I think I jumped about a mile straight up in the air!

snakes
We had a couple of snakes that got into our church (found and sealed up the holes). However, I found out they have large sticky traps like they use for mice that are for snakes. Maybe that would do the job. Good luck. I don't like to kill snakes, but if they are invading my space, then so be it.
killing snakes
If an animal is endangering my life, of course, I will probably have to kill it, snakes included, of which we have many out here. If I was on an island, just me and a chicken, of course, I would eat it. My take is that, as long as there is other healthier food, I will continue to eat that, veggies, grains, fruits, and leave the animals to live their lives.
Hating Snakes
I would be totally freaking out too! Find it and kill it. I'd go to a hotel until you find the thing. Like you, I would be way scared. I hope that you find it, but in the meantime, you certainly have my sympathies.
I'm in NC too! We have good & bad snakes, unfortunately.
Don't take any chances. Call somebody. They won't kill it because the State law won't permit them to here, but will attempt to remove it for you (for $, of course!). Good luck!
Snakes .. continued
Well, finally ventured out to finish putting the flowers in and (btw I am in Florida) so every nasty thing is here along with me in the yard probably ;-) but have not seen it again. I am sure it is in the bushes for protection and I am just concerned that the mommy is nearby and wants to bite my face off for screaming so loud when I saw it!! From what I gather, it could be just a black variety of nonpoisonous whatever they are or it could have been a rattler because there used to be orange groves everywhere .. and it could be water because I live across the street from the bayou. The dog pooped today on my brand new den carpet .. you should have been here for that war dance and yoddling display!! Mama mia!
nah, just snakes.....and spiders.....and roaches
nm
I absolutely hate snakes.
And spiders. Anyway, 5 years ago we had just moved to a different house. I was sitting on the ground on the south side planting some bulbs. Just sitting indian style, enjoying the weather. Well, I got my 2nd bulb in and picked up my pack of bulbs and went to move over to plan another and there was a snake coiled up on my sandal. I flipped. All my bulbs went flying in the air, along with my little shovel. I screamed. The thing was probably not even 2 feet long, I didn't care. Anyway, my neighbor and her friend came and chased it away for me. At the time, they were 8 and 9. lol
Question about snakes .. yuck!
I know that this is the time of year the babies are born, but I want to know how to get them out of the flowering bushes in my back yard. This merry widow stuff is for the birds!! If someone has a remedy that does not have me putting my hands where he/she is .. I am all for it. Yesterday as I looked out the window he/she was looking back in at me .. gag!!
there is an advantage having black snakes
in the basement, as they eat rodents. So keep this in mind.
What do you prefer? Rodents or black snakes?
I just hate both, but if I had to choose I would choose the black snake.
all this talk about snakes and guess what..
the dogs had cornered when we got home from town today.. geez. a stinking snake..went down to see the dogs in the pin were going crazy, yard dog was even down there barking.. he always greets us when we get back home, so I knew something was there, went & looked, it wasn't a black snake, kinda grayish.. so went back to the house, then went back again & the stinking thing had its neck spread like a cobra, and then it hissed at me, creeped me out and sent chills all the way down, so back to the house I went, dh got home, went out to tell him, he went & got the shovel, that things head was almost diamond shaped it was evil looking, dh got it on the shovel & I think he was going to pitch it over in the woods, but then it held that evil lookin head up & hissed at him, it fell off the shovel & he killed it.. heard it was a spread adder, here people call them spreadenadder.. lol.. needles to say, Thank God it's gone..
Snakes do a lot of good in nature, most are harmless.

poster is wrong - snakes do have feelings...N/M

All diamond-shaped heads are poisonous snakes! I do know that! nm
