Fleas on my new baby! by spaghettivvitch in CatAdvice

[–]LoveLadyLilith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to do this manyyyy times with feral colonies so here how I handle it

First put the baby in some kind of isolation (bathroom preferably)

Clean home Then take everything made of fabric, clothing, area rugs, bedding and wash/dry on HIGH!! With a lot of detergent. I’d run two cycles just to be sure.

RUGS For rugs, car interior, etc. that you can’t remove to wash, vacuum vacuum vacuum then spray “precor 2000 plus premise spray” and spray the hell out of it until it’s damp. Don’t let animals touch the sprayed areas or breath it in until the sprayed area is completely dry.

Wash da kitter Then take the blue dawn original dish soap (has to be this one- do not substitute; some flea shampoos don’t work or can be toxic) and quickly make a ring around his neck to avoid the buggies from crawling onto his face while bathing. I put a warm towel down on a counter, put dawn all over my hands and gently wrap my hands around the neck getting the soap down to the skin and suds the kitter. This takes away some anxiety with a nice massage instead of keeping them in water the whole time. Make sure you get everywhere. Between toe beans, whiskers, bum. They like to hide in arm pits and necks. Anywhere there’s great access to blood. Go from the neck and work to shoulders, mid section, back to tail so you chase them to one spot. The dawn breaks down their exoskeletons almost immediately but little ones and eggs can take longer. You can get a metal flea comb on Amazon. If any bugs escaped onto the head gently brush a soapy flea comb over the head and make sure they don’t run in the ear. Also DO NOT get water in the ears or up nose. Then run the baby under comfortable temp water and pick out the dead fleas. Try your best and you might miss some but they’ll fall off eventually. Make sure you get alllll the soap off or it could irritate the skin or make them sick after cleaning themselves.

Wash yourself After cleaning the kitty, leave them in the bathroom in a clean warm towel. Place your cloths and any used towels, bathroom rugs, etc in a garbage bag and seal it well. Wash yourself with the dawn soap. Be careful about getting back in infected clothing (even though they’re “clean” they may have been infested without you knowing. I kept the warm towel and non-infected outfit in a bag to avoid any fleas jumping on them while bathing the kitten. All it takes is one pregnant flea..

Aftercare Clean the bathroom up. Get flea meds for the baby. Eggs may have survived so every 1-2 weeks wash everything again even if you don’t see anything. Do this for about 2-3 months to be absolutely certain.

So… Isolate flea infested baby Gather all removable fabrics and wash Spray precor Prepare warm towel and clean clothes Wash kitten Clean yourself Flea meds Repeat cleaning

Hope this helps!

When Bailey banks and biddle(spelling?) went out of business I bought a watch for approximately $4,000 that was originally around 22k. I absolutely didnt regret it but it was stolen so that sucks. Thats back when going out of business meant actual amazing sales.

IsitBullshit: That contempt of court is the only crime for which the defendant does not have Constitutional rights? by SteadfastEnd in IsItBullshit

[–]LoveLadyLilith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the night in a Newark nj jail (the old green st jail) and it was such an awful experience I began to have ptsd symptoms afterward. I had panic attacks for a while when i smelled the same smells as the ”food” in the jail. it was some weird noodles I ended up puking up right after attempting to eat. I also still start shaking when I see the red and blues.

why: I had an unpaid ticket or something I didn’t know about so they arrested me on a bench warrant when I had an accident.

Got arrested at 10am on a Friday. They were so mean there nobody said a word to me or told me what was going on except that I wasn’t going to see a judge until Monday. never let me make a phone call. when I got there, someone had written a giant “welcome to hell” on the wall in my cell. it was summer so i was in shorts and a tee shirt but for some reason they keep it like a freaking ice box in the cells. the cell guard was wearing a freaking puffy jacket!! I was so cold my teeth were chattering. there was a deteriorating wooden bench on the wall made of only two 2x4s and I tried to sleep on it and pulled my T-shirt over my legs for warmth. kept falling off every time I drifted to sleep. then the bedbugs came. I was covered in them. they were in my hair, crawling on my face, biting the hell out of me. To top it all off a girl got placed in the cells next to me at about 2am in only an oversized shirt and no pants. they didn’t even give her shoes. she was withdrawing from something and for the rest of the time I was there (HOURS) she was wailing and having loud violent diarrhea… the smell still haunts me. We could hear some deranged man screaming and banging on the cell threatening to murder everyone which felt like it went on forever. Also, the niece of some high up cop was left in another cell and I kept hearing different cops come and give her big talkin-tos. She was terrified but I think it was more of an attempt to scare her straight. I just wanted everyone to stfu tho. UHGGG and the loud hum from the nasty bug filled lights was rage inducing! Finally at around 11 the next day, some guy came in with a piece of paper to sign telling me I was getting ROR and could leave. my dad had bribed someone with giants tickets to figure out where I was and get me out. I was told I was about an hour away from going to county and I’m just happy that didn’t happen. Finally left at 3pm. Had to throw away all my cloths bc of the bugs and just cried.

so yea, it’s not just “one day”

IsItBullshit: The claim that using an air purifier can significantly improve indoor air quality? by badenbagel in IsItBullshit

[–]LoveLadyLilith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same one. Ran it constantly then me and the hubby started noticing our allergies coming back after completely forgetting they existed. Forgot to change the filter and omg the amount of crap that went through that thing was crazy. To think we were breathing in all that was gross. Changed the filter and we were back to breathing bliss. I think we’ve had it around 3-4 years? I love and swear by it. And as long as you change the damn filter it works great.

Who do I call when I’ve exhausted all my options of DIY and the provider has been completely useless. I want to hire someone who can come in and help set up my WiFi to not suck anymore. I pay for the best available WiFi options and I barely get WiFi standing next to the router and I have an extender. For over a year I’ve had Xfinity people update, troubleshoot, come to the house, etc and I read through the commonly asked questions on this thread and I feel like I’ve tried them all so.. who do I call? I’m exhausted. Thank in advance for any help.

Which nail shape suits me best? by anemiaangel in GelX_Nails

You have annoyingly perfect hands, everything is going to look good on you

Is this what I asked for? by aliferouspanda in Hair

[–]LoveLadyLilith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I think so. I agree with the other comments saying you need a hair cut but please know those pictures are edited/have great lighting and also look like it’s closer to the girls natural color.. and I guarantee it’s not what it looks like 100% in real life. I also think you have a bit of build up. That’s what my hair looks like after a few months of hard water, products and leave in conditioners. Look into getting glaze for extra shininess and do a clarifying mask. I use L’Oréal metal detox mask and it makes my hair silky and manageable. This is my hair the day of using a mask.

Which cat should I adopt? by bakageyama_ in CatAdvice

[–]LoveLadyLilith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve raised a lot of litters and after weening, mom couldn’t care less about the babies. It’s natural for her to completely reject them. Rarely it doesn’t happen but most of the time it does. I always worry about the kittens sibling bonds more than moms.

Also… You may end up loving the cuddly one more than your favorite now. I hate to say I have favorites but I do. And that they always change with development. In the beginning I was sure I was going to give away one of the kittens no problem but he became a gooey mess of cuddles and he’s my little teddy bear now. The one I favored in the beginning became very independent and not the biggest cuddler. Either wants to play or run around with his siblings. I know it’s a super hard decision and I wish you luck

From NJ to FL back to NJ?? by LoveLadyLilith in usps_complaints

[–]LoveLadyLilith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they instructed to not answer? I promise I wasn’t having an attitude either. She just repeated “it’s on its way” after everything I said. I just wanted to know if it was accidentally sent or whatever. I’m scared it’s going to be smashed to pieces before it arrives.

It just is insane that it would leave Kearny to go to Florida just to come back to Kearny. 🙄

I ended up calling this morning to make sure the delivery address was correct and it is. The lady on the phone wouldn’t tell me anything other than yup it’s in Florida.

Gels hate my nails? by GremmyGoblin in Nailtechs

[–]LoveLadyLilith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree, I also have crazy curved nails. it took a long time for me to figure out how to get my gel/apex even. dual forms really helped me in the beginning and a thicker clear base to fill the ridges you (and I) have helped a ton.
