nuke me from orbit...........please?
« on: October 21, 2012, 10:18:43 AM »
the gerbils have mites!  yuck.  the vet tech isn't sure if they are avian, or possibly some kind of human variety.  fortunatly we (the humans) haven't shown symptoms (other than my normally itchy dry skin), but i don't want it to go that far either.  funny how suddenly i feel little twinges on my skin where nothing is showing.  yesterday we bathed/dried them, emptied and washed their glass tanks, and applied a minimal dose of frontline flea treatment.  anyone have experience removing these little beasties?

It's backbreaking work.

Have you looked at recipies for gerbil-on-a-stick?  Some of them look mighty tasty.

stay safe.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Every time I hear a story about gerbils I remember the story read by Robert D Raiford of John Boy and Bill Show.  Relays the story of creative uses of gerbils.
