Time for a beer. As I'm an elitist, I'm going to drink

[medicswife]

a pint of Mothership Wit from the New Belgium Brewing Company of Fort Collins, CO. Close to my birthplace of Loveland, CO and appropriate as the polls have been looking good for us in CO lately. Also, it's just been a kind of rough 2 days.

I'm ready to someday move back to Montana where there are no fleas. I am not used to the copious amount of nasty insects and arachnids that live around here. I don't know jack about fleas, and I assumed that as I treat my dog once a month like a good girl, and the cat stays in the house, we'd have no problems. Well, somehow I guess the poor kitty got fleas. I only realized it because she fell asleep on my robe this morning and then later, when I took it back upstairs, I sat down on my bed for a minute in the sunshine that was coming through my window and suddenly, a piece of "lint" on my arm jumped high into the air! At first I thought I must be hallucinating and that I had just sighed or something and blown it off. But I decided to investigate further. So, I started looking around and sure enough, there was the little bastard. Jumping to and fro in the sunshine like it was the light of heaven itself. So, I declared war. Went to the store, bought a bunch of flea shit, and got busy. Kitty had a flea treatment and now has a flea collar on. I will repeat my attacks tomorrow. But for now, I'm drinking my damned elitist beer. And I'm going to enjoy it. Then, I'm going to watch Letterman again, because I don't think he's done with John McCain.

1. 'bought a bunch of flea shit'

You write very entertainingly. :rofl:

Have you tried Frontline? Stuff's expensive — about $45-$50 for three monthly treatments — but it freakin' works.



Enjoy. :toast:

2. Well, since this is my first bout with the vile critters,

the answer to that, is uhhh....no. I've seen that commercial though, with the ex-Golden Girl Betty! You know, where she holds the stuff up and you can tell that all of the boxes are glued together so they don't fall out of her hands? Anyway, will that stuff keep my house from being infested? I'm scared of that!!!!! Like, right now, when I think about going to bed, I think about fleas and the black death!!!! And gosh, I just don't feel all that tired now, ya know???? Anyways, I'm hopeful that all of the spraying and vacuuming that I did today has put a dent in their hopefully still small population and tomorrow and the next day, I plan on keeping up the pressure with further spraying and fervent vacuuming. This will hopefully keep the bloodsuckers off of ME and the poor kids, for heaven's sake, until we get paid by the DAMNED ARMY on Monday and I can afford to buy me some of that "elitist" flea shit.

To hell with Fleas!!!!! They can all go and infest McCain Palin for all I care.

Seriesly, though — the Elitist Flea Shit works. :thumbsup:



Oh, and it's "GODdamned Army," but I can't find a photo of Bobby Troup in "M*A*S*H" to properly illustrate it. :(

4. Yeah, and the bastards at the liquor shop here replaced

CHIMAY with Fat Tire and Mothership Wit. What would I give to have had a Chimay Grand Reserve instead of this........

Oh well. At least I didn't just give my money to Cindy McCain by buying Budweiser or something like that.
