I tried the Borax thing but it didn't work because the ants were getting other food (the cat's dry food, which I have to leave out). I ended up keeping the vacuum in the kitchen and sucking up all the ants every time I saw them. I eventually killed off most of the colony. I knew I won when I saw the queen ant crawling across the floor one day, looking for a more hospitable place. She also ended up in the belly of my vacuum cleaner. Mwahahaha!
Eucalyptus oil. They HATE the scent. Sprinkle a few drops around your baseboards and other cracks or use a eucalyptus-scented cleanser (like Dr. Bronner's) to wash the floors and walls in your kitchen. You do have to reapply the oil, but it's better than getting toxic bug spray everywhere.
Climate change? How about: nonexistent or poorly enforced building codes?
Are you really suggesting that non-whites are having more babies because we're less responsible? Are you really suggesting that that bump in non-white babies is compmosed of "prom night dumpster babies"?
Are you being serious? Or is this comment badly executed snark?

She's a tall, thin ex-model is why.
Big whoop. Psychology Today was just a side gig for him anyway. I'd be much happier of LSE fired his ass.
Agreed. This is just awful. Can you fucking imagine being that woman? Her family? A witness to this act?
What's happening? Where am I?
Yeah, the site also perpetuates the idea that gender differences are somehow innate or natural. That is, 'feminine' people are born that way...which would mean that liking dolls and the color pink is somehow hardwired into women as well as gay men. If it's true for heterosexual people that gender (including its expression) is more of a cultural construct than a biological fact, then it's got to be true for homosexual people too. Being romantically attracted to a particular sex is not necessarily associated with particular characteristics or personality traits.
Butch something up enough and it ends up circling back to queer. They might as well have put a leather daddy cap on that bottle.
Mm-hm. And alcoholics are just "party animals", which is also not a medical term. What's your fucking point?
What most people don't realize is that you can refuse to give your zip code at these places. You're still able to purchase from them. They just make it seem as though it's compulsory. Still, this is good news.
The general response to an argument like yours is that such actions demonstrate a lack of judgment. Whether one would like to admit it or not, most Americans tend to vote for good character (or apparent good character) rather than platforms or expertise or anything like that. Lee demonstrated that he lacked character (which is maybe just another word for common sense), so he had to go. I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing, but that's the way it is.
It's also likely that he decided that he didn't want to undergo the horror of the media blitz that would have occurred if he'd stayed in office. Better to get out now before more dirt is dug up (very likely--cheaters trolling CL are probably repeat offenders).

The fact that he was an apparent foot fetishist isn't what's creepy here. It's the fact that he behaved in a creepy manner. There's nothing inherently creepy about fetishists. Many of them are capable of exercising self control. Foot fetishists are way more common than you'd think.
Sigh. The more seriously you take ridiculous claims (even if it's to rebut them), the more credence they gain. It's best to ignore the birther nutjobs.
@snugbug: I tend to come down on the Vreeland side on this one. Grooming in public (with a few exceptions) is gauche. It's treating a shared public space as though it's a private one and shows a disregard for other people. But then, I don't wear sweats in public, so I know I'm usually in the minority when it comes to these sort of issues.
Putting on lip gloss in public = goofy
Putting on lipstick in public = sexy
It's the little stick thing. It's like your putting on makeup with a lollipop.

@Kimrod: Fred Rogers.
@Kitten is an 80s rocker (now with Jez street cred!): Some sort of snack food, a cup of tea, and a basket full of kittens or puppies to play with.
