  • What kind of bugs are these, and how do I get rid of them?

    My Mom has been experiencing a bug problem. At night she feels bugs crawling on her and biting her. She had an exterminator come out, and he confirmed that they are not bed bugs or fleas or ants etc. They are very small, (like a small dot.) She had tried setting off a bug bomb, setting out traps, and even soaked her bedding in bleach water for 35 minutes. The bugs were still alive! Even washing her clothes didn't get rid of them. Her husband used an upholstery cleaner, and washed the furniture paying close attention in the creases. The exterminator said that he would need to know what kind of bugs they were before he could spray. They are too small to catch, We tried catching them on scotch tape, but it didn't work. If any of you experienced anything like this, please ;et me know what these bugs might be, and how to get rid of them. Thank you!

  • Did anyone out there ever find out how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

    Just curious because the commercial states, "The world may never know."

  • My husband's family is bleeding us dry!?

    I love my husband's family,and they are nice to us, but I feel like they are a little leech-ish. They are always asking for money, and we don't have much ourselves. Sometimes they pay us back, sometimes they don't. They come over frequently, and eat our food. I've had to start hiding our spare change jars in a friend's apartment, and even some of our food. They just helped themselves with our spare change! They make more money than we do, and get food stamps. We make less, and don't get food stamps. One time my husband sent them home with a bag of food because they said they were out. They got a really big amount of money on their tax return, but it was gone in a matter of days. They spent it on a bunch of stuff, but had no gas money or food money later. They didn't save any, or use it on things needed. What's strange is they used to not be like this a few years ago. My husband feels the same way. How can I get this to end without hurting anyone's feelings or putting a wedge between them and us?
