Yeah, here's a real plea for help. Every other word is HELP, right? Bold added for emaphasis.
So I am off to do battle. Yeah, I know how. When you rent a house that former occupants have left flea-ridden, as has been my lovely experience twice now, you learn the Awful Truth about this battle: they're everywhere. But not upstairs (where pets are not allowed), thank God!
No, of course I realize that people will post what they know, and that they know a lot, for whoever needs it, but posts that tried to disabuse me of what I already know were not helpful, even if they were accurate to whatever situation the poster was imagining.
And of course I know I can't control posts-- I don't have that particular control pattern-- but I also know I can post my reaction to what others post, and that I don't like it when people want to control THAT. :~)
