olive oil
I'm a big fan of olive oil but at 14 grams of fat per tablespoon, 4 tablespoons per 1/4 cup, that would be 64 grams of fat per day! That's a lot of fat even if its a healthy fat. How will that affect you in the long run.
olive oil
I use it in baking. I've found in muffins, cakes, cornbread, etc., if I use olive oil instead of regular oil or shortening I can use half of the amount called for and whatever I'm baking is always light and fluffy. I love it.
Vinegar, perhaps? SM
I don't have a black sink, but for my fixtures, mirror, etc., I keep a squirt bottle with vinegar in the bathroom and wipe everything down once a day - SHINY!
I would try using vinegar
and there is also a product available at Wal-Mart called Out (found in both baby and pet sections). It is one of those bio odor cleaners, and works well for pet odors, but I would try wiping it down really well with vinegar first.
Thank you, Olive! :o)
I'm thankful for the review, as I have seen those advertise and there is one on craigslist. I should start saving up now for one I guess.
Low grade olive oil is the best.

50/50 alcohol/vinegar
Works for me!
Try straight white vinegar. sm
I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store. I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.
put a little white vinegar is a bowl and set it out.
Vinegar is a great neutralizer. I always have my stove exhaust fan on when cooking odorous foods and if possible I open a window. We had someone housesit for us who smoked in the house, even though they were told they couldn't. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke and we had to wash all the surfaces with vinegar. I had a used car dealer tell me one time when I was complaining about a smell in a used car to cut an apple in half and put it under the seat, so maybe an apple would work too.
Vinegar also takes smell out. sm
I always use vinegar when I need to get a smell out.
Whenever I burn popcorn in the microwave, I fill a coffee cup full of vinegar and set it in the microwave. It always takes the smell out.
I've steam cleaned pet soil out of my carpet using vinegar and baking soda, and the odor always goes away.
CMs are olive, brown or black - not in NC, but in SC - sm
look it up on Google and you will get some sites which show pictures. Maybe you can identify it that way.
I've been using olive oil daily for the last 5 years
and my weight is stable and normal.
However, I don't use NEARLY a 1/4 cup! just a little on my salad or for cooking.
Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add
baking soda to the vinegar. It works really well.
I use vinegar for anything with a smell. If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight. Then I just rinse it out in the morning.
Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave. Then let it sit in the microwave overnight. By morning, the smell will be gone.
I realize I may regret extending the olive branch but
to tell you the truth, I have always rooted for the underdogs.
My very best friend in the world once tied my hair in knots (before we were friends,) added some gum and dirt to the mix too. This was back when I was in the 3rd grade. Her parents made her come and apologize and we have been very thick ever since.
She didn't have many friends either. She was kind of a bully and the kids were all basically scared of her. I am proud to say that I could rely on her in a pinch going on 25 years now.
On the advice of one of the posters, I will make sure that the pup is in the clear with animal control and the local police just to be safe. I have a friend who volunteers at the local animal shelter where we adopted our puppy. He teaches obedience classes for the dogs and caregiving for the owners. All of this he does for free.
Perhaps if all goes well with the neighbors, I will suggest to the dad that he and his daughter accompany us to some of these classes when we go. Maybe she can learn to love the animals and they can help heal her a little too.
There I go again, rootin for the underdog.
my grandmother used vinegar diluted with water on my hair
whenever there was a problem with lice. 
Blue on the walls, textured olive green carpet,
hydrangea sculptured border, olive green curtains I designed and made, 2 office chairs to give the ol' back a break, desk placed just so in order to be able to look out 2 different windows, 1-3 cats who come and stay as they please, and 1 little dog who never leaves the office unless I do. There are also the necessary things like a bookcase, printer, backup computer, nik-nacks and paddy wacks.
I am so completely blessed cause I have all this AND get paid! Who wouda thunk??
Keep a shallow bowl of apple cider vinegar on the counter.
This is something my mom did - worked for her, works for me. I set a small, shallow bowl of vinegar on the back of the stove or tucked into a corner on the cupboard. It cuts the odor down to almost nothing and keeps it gone. Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper than the over-perfumed stuff from the store.
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
I just dump them in a covered bowl with vinegar and sliced onion. nmx

You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
not sure if the same, but I was taking olive leaf extract (a good brand) and felt great...
I wonder if that would be of the same benefit...just off for a few months because of money reasons! any health food store carries it, but, of course, you want a good one.
also, evening oil of primrose is great, still taking that because there was a sale on it...love it.
Seafood pasta and olive oil garlic sauce, red leaf salad, homemade bread with sun dried tomato
along with a big glass of white wine. MMMMMM
