David, I've been told that fleas are a near-insurmountable problem at beaches and waterfront areas. So are rats and mice. I've also heard that where there are cats there always will be fleas. I know we have more than a few of the feral variety here. I absolutely must interject here that I dearly love cats and find them charming and entertining creatures. Smart too! I've been told that they are difficult to train because, unlike dogs, cats do not care whether or not they please anyone. Some dogs have that characteristic and are difficult to train. I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with your vet. It has been my good fortune to never have run across a bad one. In fact, I was so impressed with my most recent vet that I entertained the idea of asking if she would consider treating humans. <vbg> I guess vets get burned out on fleas, especially in areas where flea control can be nigh unto impossible. I would say that the flea collar in the vacuum helped considerably but was probably unnecessary once I started using the two monthly protocols and the spray. FWIW, my vacuum uses disposable bags. Your work sounds extremely interesting. You and Alex can maybe toss it around. He's into things chemical. That's what is so nice about SI. There's usually somebody around for conversation, no matter what time it happens to be. It's also fun to go back and read threads from the beginning and get an idea of how they have evolved and whose come and gone and whose still around. There are some quite talented writers here at SI. Holly

David, there are very many interesting people at SI. Holly's suggestion was a good one--reading old threads from the beginning to find out a lot about everyone's personalities and secrets. There are many fascinating threads to do that with. If you like philosophy and physics and very deep thought, then Ask John Galt might really entertain you, especially. The poetry thread is also a very nice one to read all the way through. You could find out a lot about how SI has developed from reading this thread, as well, but it is really quite long. I wish you well if you are game enough to try, though. The last person who performed this amazing feat before she actually posted only had about eight thousand posts to read. But the really neat thing about SI is its interactive nature--there is almost always someone here to talk to regardless of the lateness of the hour. If you are at all lonely you will surely soon be hooked!!
