OK, people. Who hid the dead body in my house? And if there's no dead body, where are all the freaking FLIES coming from???? It's not like I have food or trash sitting around. *boggles* I guess they think they're going to winter over inside my house. I've got news for them: they're wrong.

Speaking of winter, when the heck did it get to be autumn? It was just summer a minute ago. All the leaves are changing and they look so pretteh. I might try to go out this weekend and shoot some pics of the foliage.

So my vacation was completely productive, I got a ton of stuff done that I wanted to. Cleaning, painting, organizing, etc. \o/ Plus I got to visit my friend Becky, who I hardly ever see.

My left hand is tingling, a low-level buzz like it's asleep. And it's been driving me crazy with itching from no visible cause. Now I'm wondering if I've pinched a nerve or something. I mean, I can live with it, it's just annoying.

I moved 4g of music off my laptop and onto my external hard drive last night. This was actually a bigger deal than one might think, as it involved multiple flash drives of small capacity. For some reason, laptop and Murph (the drive) don't get along. So once I got it moved, I was playing around with it in iTunes, trying to add the songs without erasing whats already on there. Apparently, I fail at this. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it just isn't working.

Ew, ew EWWWWWWWWWW!!! with the flies!! ACK!

Yayz on the productive vacay tho!

I know, right? I spent all day yesterday killing the damn things. Luckily for me, they're the kind of slow, logy ones that you can kill really easily.

Vacay=not long enough, but it sure was fun to be away from the worries at work.

EW!

Have you tried googling for advice? I mean, I just found out that cutting the top of a huge soda bottle and putting it, with the opening down, in the bottle will create a terrific and cheap wasp trap when it's half full of something sweet and sugary, so maybe there's something quick, cheap and clever to get rid of flies as well?

iTunes doesn't work for anybody, it's just messing with your head. I still haven't found out how - if at all possible - to transfer more than one song at the time from somewhere else and into iTunes.

I had heard about cider vinegar + a bit of dish soap, so I did that since I had some on hand. I hadn't thought about googling for other ideas though!

Ha ha, so true!

See, I never knew about that. I'll have to remember cider b\vinegar and dish soap for flies! Thank you! :)

I had flies briefly over the summer. It seemed like twice there were suddenly all these flies. Never figured out where they were coming from.

I just killed them all or managed to get them trapped between the window and the screen.

I tried to get the cats to chase them. To no avail. Slackers.

I know, what is the use of having little furry minions if we can't make them do our bidding?

The weird thing about these particular flies is they're all clustered at the very top of my two south-facing windows. Which is what lead me to believe it was some kind of autumn thing.

are they fruitflies? cuz i have a great way to get rid of them. not sure if it'll work on regular house flies, though.

i hate using itunes. it always wants to reorganize all my music by artist and i'd rather have it by genre. if i didn't have to have it for my ipod, i'd chuck the program. so i'm afraid i have no advice to offer. just hugs. *hugs*

Sadly, no, they are house flies. Luckily, as I told Erin, they are fat, slow, and easy to kill.

I think I figured out the iTunes thing. But I always accept hugs, so thanks!

I don't have flies. I have those tiny fruit flies. They are almost in plague proportions around here. I finally found out how they are getting in the house. I heard on the radio that the conditions have just been right for them to multiply horribly in the area, and they are coming up from the drainage and water pipes. Regular bug spray doesn't seem to work, but someone suggested using Lysol spray because it's thicker. That seems to work. I give a good spray down the sink drains, and I haven't seen any of them since.

The tingling in your arm does sound like something has happened with a nerve. My mother has tingling in her feet, which is so bad at night that she has had to start taking a sleeping pill to get any rest.

Good luck with the computer stuff. I can manage with lots of computer things, but I am not good with things like that.

Man, those little fruit flies are horrible! I had some of them in the summer and I was like "where in the HELL are you coming from???" I never thought about Lysol, but I can see how it would work.

I've downgraded down to just itchy hand today. But yeah, it's nerve, definitely. I had noticed that I was leaning on that arm and straining my shoulder, so I put my monitor up higher and raised my chair a bit. Seems to be helping already.
