I'm working on a story that I like a lot, and I'm trying to decide if I should post it as a WIP or a complete piece. I'm working on it at the speed of negative snail but I'm definitely working on it. What do you say, my friends? Post or not? It's a Sam/Dean domestic AU, chock full of angst and stuff because that is how I roll. Ya'll pretend like it's important and I'll pretend like I'm not needy as hell.


My other child has moved out and our nest is empty. BG and her little dog have left us. The dog's coming back but the kid claims she's not. I don't know--there are roaches in her apartment. We have this thing about roaches like other people have about snakes or serial killers. It's a phobia so bad that therapy would probably be helpful. Can anyone recommend solutions to controlling them? She's in the city in an old apartment building so yeah, odds are it's a losing battle. This whole moving out thing sucks so hard. There are good points but not many. I know she's got to spread her wings but...SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFF. I miss her. :(

If only I could gather my little chicks and FORCE THEM TO LIVE WITH ME FOREVER!!!!

*koff* Kidding!!

I googled "natural roach killer borax"

Because I vaguely remembered Heloise or someone putting out a recipe that was basically Mr. Rogers' Modeling Dough with Borax in it that kills roaches without using the super-toxic stuff in actual bug spray. I found this:

Please note, however, this is not entirely safe around animals and children, who might not know that you shouldn't eat it. Save the Little Dogs! :)

Thanks so much! I sent this on to BG--hope it doesn't freak her out! :)

I see that some methods are kind of unsafe--Rocky's a small dog and I'd be afraid of some of the things they recommend as being too much for his little innards to handle. Not to mention that anything even slightly like food hitting the ground is his as far as he's concerned. She'll have to watch him like a hawk--or the obsessed dog mom she is. :)

Well, even if she can't put it around the baseboards, she can put it places like the cupboard under the sink (if there is one) and other places Rocky can't get to. Every bit helps, right?
