I have deleted the links to prevent accidentally going to that site. Quite disgusting and blatant cons...and not that I highlighted aol's advice in green!
Can you imagine how scary this could be to some elderly widow? If you know of ANYONE who is vulnerable to these scams, please warn them...and show them what to look out for!
Notice too the lack of facility or acquaintance with spell check!

PetsMart
I don't know if the rest of you have PetsMart stores in your area, but the ones here in the Cincinnati area are INFESTED with small brown bugs. I've checked two local stores; both were the same. This leads me to believe that their distribution hubs are infested, and it is not an individual store problem.
I have bought two bags of bird food and one bag of dog food. Both were infested; I WAS FURIOUS that I fed that to the bird! The dogs are hardy, but the cockatoo... GRRRRR!!!!
I've been using a small, indie feed store since; not quite as convenient, but very clean.
If 'yall have pets and a PetsMart, be VERY careful. Also, my job has provided me with 'insider info' that PetCo has the same problem, but worse.

A Tip From Kelly!
I live in Southeast Texas, where it's mosquito season most of the year, and have a mild allergy to the anticoagulant the mosquito injects.
I try not to get eaten up by them, but it happens on occasion, and it causes intense, painful itching for me. Instead of buying some overpriced product to relieve itching, I just rub some lemon or lime juice on the bites. The citric acid of the juice breaks down the protein-based anticoagulant. And, of course, relieving the itching prevents scratching, which helps prevent infection.
I hope this tip helps. :)
Living in Florida myself, the mosquito is practically the state bird! So ANY help is welcome! The acidic nature of the citrus may be matched by white vinegar...anybody try that? In Australia, during a certain season, all beach goers take white vinegar along to treat jellyfish stings...so it might work too.
Though the citrus certainly smells better!
And a big thank you to, Kelly, of http://onemonkeystypewriter.blogspot.com , for sharing!

From Ma...up on the mountain.
Nanc and my adopted 'Ma', sent me this handy tip, just in time for summer hiking, camping, fishing or just goofing around.
After all, even insects have to breathe, and since they use orifices on their sides...I would imagine that the necessity of breathing will cause them to forgo a meal!
A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share - And it really works!!
I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it's some times difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.
Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
This technique has worked every time I've used it (and that was frequently), and it's much less traumatic for the patient and easier for me.Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's wife call me for advice because she had one stuck to her back and she couldn't reach it with tweezers. She used this method and immediately called me back to say,' It worked!'
