Sunny, are you still at your mother's? If she asks you to leave again, do you have another place to go besides the place you shared with Dallas? I realize you probably have a lot on your plate right now, but if you can, it might be a good idea to think of another place to live if necc. A...

So you ended up getting two cats instead of one? That's great! I think a cat's favorite cat toy is another cat. ;) I wish you many years of happy cat companionship. :)

I only fed them honey in a trap. And only a few flies fell for it and only for one night. It seems that doing just one thing won't work, but if I try a lot of different things they all help a little bit.

I think I have to pick up another brand. I got one labeled "Max Hold", but it was also the cheapest brand on the shelf so I guess its not working as well as it could. Still the situation is improving so it must be doing something. And I also tried the dirty plate in a plastic bag trick...

I'm late to the thread but I find some of the adults' reactions to the boy in the video confusing and surprising also. I think most kids know when they are in pain. They know the difference between not liking something, or feeling weird or scared, or being in pain and can communicate that...

Vorsia, I'm glad you are home again and I hope you get to stay home longer this time! ;) As far as hospital doctors and nurses goes -- I'm really surprised how many of them don't "get it" as far as how to communicate with the D/d/HH. A lot of them completely don't understand how lipreading...

It's Chemical Warfare ... Hah! That might work ... for a day. I tried spraying them with rubbing alcohol. That worked very well for about 30 minutes. It was great seeing them drop down in mid flight. I squished them once they hit the floor or a table. Still have a lot of survivors...

Vorsia Update I visited Vorsia in the hospital today. She is doing better and she apprears to be optimistic that she will be able to go home soon. Re hospital staff -- as far as communication issues go they were ignorant but willing to be educated. That's all I'll say because this is...

Your primary doctor sounds wonderful :angel: and your other doctors sounds like they need to be replaced. What they are doing would piss me off also. :mad:

Yep, lots of those type of stores in NYC. LoL. J/K. Well, I can always order over the internet if necc.

:eek3:

Window fan may have to go on a shopping list for next spring -- but I have tea towels. Never thought of using them that way before. Brilliant. All the suggestions here have been brilliant. Thank you all! I'm glad I posted. :)

I'm adding a sink drain plug to the shopping list. Boiling vinegar? Holy sh*t Batman! I never heard of that before. I imagine that it will stink to high heaven, but I'm doing this. It may drive me out of my apt. before it drives the flies out, but I'm still giving it a try. Thanks. :)

I'll try the traps first. Its December in NY, I hope I can find a store that is selling them now.

:laugh2: And get good exercise too.

Yes, that is odd isn't it? I've been eating more fruits and veggies and I've been keeping some of the fruit outside of my fridge. Disgusting as the thought may be, perhaps the fruit is the source of very small fly eggs and I need to find room in my fridge for all of the fruit to kill the eggs...

Somehow my apt. got infested with houseflies. My two cats are usually very good at killing the odd bug or flea but they are useless right now. I suppose they are either on strike or have decided to adopt the pests as pets. :mad: Nothing works more than once. I put out a container of...

That sounds like a great solution. I wonder if there are any countries that run their schools that way?

That is really depressing. However, I was surprised to read Blondon saying that the school board employee kept saying that her son was not being instructed properly. That seems to be putting the school district at fault and I would think that if a lawyer for the school district had been...

Great idea Angle! Hospitals are run by lawyers. I bet the hospital staff would feel more comfortable writing on an erasable board than they would in a notebook.
