We reinforce the edge where screen meets wood with heavy-duty tape and screws.</p> <p>2P, hope that your son gets to feeling better soon, that flu is a terrible thing. </p> <p>GD, wishing you better luck with those bbugs, would putting the DE around the seams of the rooms along the wall/floors help any....if they are coming up thru the cracks in the foundation....just a question and really sorry that the landlords aren't doing anything about it. Maybe the health department could help you with either suggestions or complaints, just an idea. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460821 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:18:40 +0000 2 Popoki 460821@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's a nice gift from your brother, GD. Gald you were able to talk to your Dad. </p> <p>Thanks for the well-wishes for my boy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460818 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:58:51 +0000 GreatDane 460818@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Your poor son, 2p! I hope he feels better soon!</p> <p>I finally got a hold of my dad to wish him a happy birthday. He sounded chipper enough. He spent most of the day at his old neighbor's house. They had presents for him, made him dinner, dessert etc. and he had a great day. My brother went to the house and as a present showed up with a friend of his who is a landscaper and did some work in the yard for him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460746 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:36:54 +0000 2 Popoki 460746@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>thank you to you as well JeanKit. Mom's - we just worry. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460741 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:30:50 +0000 jeankit 460741@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Get well wishes for Special Son of 2Pop coming right up! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460735 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:28:12 +0000 2 Popoki 460735@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you Gini. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460722 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:09:28 +0000 gini 460722@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh 2P I am so sorry! Mike got the swine flu when there was the initial outbreak so I know how scary it can be :( Some of the nights I stayed up all night watching his fever since it was over 104! I can't believe your poor son caught pneumonia, too. I hope he feels all better soon and I'm glad he went back to the doctor. I'll be thinking of him! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460717 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:01:52 +0000 2 Popoki 460717@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well... the news just keeps getting better. My son was told on Friday that it was 95% chance the he has swine, 'scuse me H1N1, flu. They didn't even test as they said results wouldn't be back until February - the labs are so backed up. He was feeling a bit better today so went to work. He just called me... he is off the rest of the day, tomorrow for sure and maybe Wednesday. He was wise enough to go back to the doc because he was feeling worse. Now he has pneumonia. He's healthy in general - but this still scares the bejeepers out of me. Any extra white light you guys could send to my boy would be appreciated. Thanks....</p> <p>Oh - and congrats on the B+ gini !! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460714 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:54:34 +0000 gini 460714@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Back from classes! I got my German quiz back from last week. I got a B+ on it and he said that was the highest grade and the average was a D-.....yikes!! I don't think he is that great of a teacher. I always have to try my best to teach myself at home after class because he doesn't do much and these test scores prove it. He won't curve, either! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160/page/2#post-460698 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:26:15 +0000 GreatDane 460698@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WWM, they're not doing anything, that's the frustrating part! In fact, they took the infested box spring I threw out and brought it in to use for themselves. It won't matter if I clean, throw out and treat here if they keep bringing bugs into the house or don't treat in there. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460694 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:23:55 +0000 GreatDane 460694@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay, the boys and I are moving to Texas!!!<br /> I'll change my clothes and bathe the boys! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460680 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:08:14 +0000 WillowandWindismom 460680@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Everyone! I'm cleaning house today because that worthless Hazel was a no-show..... again.</p> <p>GD, I guess you and the boys will just have to come and stay with us. Change your clothes first, though. What are the other people in the building doing about the bugs? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460673 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:01:08 +0000 GreatDane 460673@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I've tried DE and it doesn't work as well as I'd need it to. The bed bugs sense the CO2 we breathe out and find us. I've gotten rid of rugs, bedding and the whole bed itself, but they live in cracks in the foundation, etc. and still seek me out at night when I'm sleeping.<br /> BB, Mi got bit a few weeks ago, right underneath his eye. I had to take him to the vet and he had to get two shots - an antiinflammatory and a pain reliever. The bugs prefer humans, but they can bite pets, too. Luckily I haven't seen any bites on them since.<br /> If/when I move, I'm getting rid of almost everything. I've already washed all my clothes and keep them sealed in containers. I'd still wash everything again before I move somewhere. My biggest worry is bringing them to GG's house (or anyone elses, for that matter), so I change my clothes before I go anywhere. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460659 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:43:33 +0000 2 Popoki 460659@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD - You have GOT to move. That is all kinds of wrong. You aren't getting any decent rest and the boys, I'm sure, are missing you terribly. I know money is tight, but your health is important !</p> <p>Gini - glad you are feeling better, finally ! </p> <p>And it's Monday.... *sigh* I really did not want to come in to work today.... but alas - there are kitties to feed and bills to pay, so I am here, in my little gray box. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460658 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:41:37 +0000 jeankit 460658@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>DE works on killing Bedbugs! Sprinkle it between matresses, matress &amp; pad/sheet! Probably on carpet and under bed too! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460639 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:09:38 +0000 katthays 460639@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now I AM scared, Bumblebee!!! :0 </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460638 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:08:39 +0000 bumblebee 460638@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I also heard bed bugs can travel around and come out in the outlets in different rooms. They like the heat of electricity I guess. I think only very high heat kills them. There was a program on TV about them awhile ago. I didn't see it tho. My sympathies for poor GD. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460631 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:03:50 +0000 katthays 460631@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good Grief, GD, I had NO idea how hard it is to get rid of those bugs! Thank goodness I've never experienced them! I feel so bad for you! Are your boys okay? And if you move, can the bugs "travel" with you to a new place??! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460626 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:57:26 +0000 bumblebee 460626@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD, how are the cats? I heard bed bugs go on animals too! :/ Do they have any bites? I feel SO SORRY for you! What an awful situation! Maybe buy a blanket for your car and just leave it in there. What a way to live....... HUGS sweetie. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460625 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:55:36 +0000 GreatDane 460625@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>TM, I had an air mattress, but it only lasted one night - Bobby killed it! I don't have a washing machine here and can't run to the laundromat every day. So I keep my one sheet and towels in my car where the bugs can't get it and change my clothes before I go in th car so I don't bring the bugs out there. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460623 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:52:32 +0000 TrufflesMom 460623@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD, can you buy/borrow and air mattress (can be wiped down daily). All white linens - wash them daily in hot water with bleach. Should that at least minimize your chances of exposure until you can get out of there? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460613 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:44:04 +0000 GreatDane 460613@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Can't live IN it, either, CM :(<br /> Katthays, the exterminators say bed bugs are some of the hardest things to get rid of. They qouted my landlord a cost of nearly $800 to spray for them and even so, they only give a 30 day guarantee.<br /> I'm so tired of this situation. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460598 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:19:00 +0000 cricketsmama 460598@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>thanks Katt :)<br /> OMG GD...there has got to be an alternative to you sleeping in your car.<br /> Bed bugs are so hard to get rid of...but you can't not live in your apt or sleep there for heavens sake. ((GD)) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460597 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:13:43 +0000 katthays 460597@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CM, I wish Maddie a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and your hubs! Wahoo!<br /> GD, I can't understand why it is so difficult to get rid of those dang bugs!! How annoying! And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your Dad, too, GD! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460593 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:10:21 +0000 GreatDane 460593@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good morning, all! MC, you'd better be at the doctor's or the hospital right now!<br /> I had a rough night. Last time I slept at home, I got bit by the bed bugs so last night I decided to try sleeping in my car again. We'll it was in the low 50s and I have thrown out all of my bedding except for a sheet. I slept with it and a few towels and barely got any sleep a all - it was miserable :(</p> <p>I'm so tired now, but I need to run out and get meds for Bobby and get a phone card to call my dad since his birthday is today.</p> <p>Hope everyone is having a good day! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460592 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:08:24 +0000 cricketsmama 460592@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hello everyone.

Then I had to give her a bath..thank goodness for washable paint.<br /> We are also trying big girl panties instead of diapers today..hopefully that will work and we can be on the road to no diapers for Maddie.<br /> Now we are eating lunch and I still have laundry and dishes to do...<br /> I miss you all!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460590 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:06:58 +0000 katthays 460590@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi All! Glad you're feeling better, Gini, and HUGS to those who are not! I hope MC gets some help today, too!

I hope things get a bit better for you soon. Hopefully they'll help </p> <p>Joan I'm glad your headache is better!</p> <p>I'm FINALLY feeling a lot better from this stupid sickness! I have a cough but my throat is way better, my nose is still stuffed but its easily blowable, my fever is gone, and my tummy is better...thank goodness! Last night Oreo (my gerbil) somehow managed to eat literally an entire 1/2 of his plastic wheel that he loves running on. It's sad because now he can't run on it. I don't know why he did that. He has lots of chew toys and food and water...I guess I'll have to go get him a new wheel.</p> <p>Nothing exciting today. Had a pop essay quiz in my first class at ten this morning. On lunch break now, then back for 2 more classes. Luckily I have no work today and I get out of school by 2:30, so I have the afternoon/night free to relax and catch up on homework and stuff I missed in school last week. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22160#post-460574 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:27:04 +0000 opahall 460574@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC.....
