I started the work day having to dispose of two mice in traps. Gizmo is the laziest cat ever. He wouldn't even notice a mouse unless it was stealing his food..

How To Help Your Child Stop Coughing
The key point here is that when you start to do this you may feel a little uncomfortable. In the past when there was a slight tickle in your throat or a feeling of 'lumpiness' in your chest, you coughed and had short term relief.
Now you must use your willpower to not cough at all if possible. If you absolutely must cough, you do one with your mouth closed. It is a bit like throat clearing before speaking. The air is released only through your nose.
If there is some mucus right there, obviously do not allow yourself to choke. The goal is to not allow any more CO2 to escape than necessary.
[Remember the more you cough, the more CO2 you release, the more mucus you produce, the more you cough.]
Within a short time of not coughing, and practicing 'shallow breathing' [which we will learn later it simply traps more CO2 in.], you will notice the 'tickle' has gone.
A little story about this relates to my partner's father. He at one time was the caretaker of quarters for temporary accommodation for children.
He had a simple rule that said that 'No-one is allowed to be ill'. He is a caring old marshmallow, but could give the impression of a stern military man. In their efforts to please him, the children would suppress their asthmatic [at that time called 'bronchitis'] cough. Within a short time even the urge to cough would be gone, and the child would have seemingly 'grown out of it.'
Coughing is often a very simple and effective way to get affection and attention for children. The mechanism is unconscious, but all they have to do is increase their breathing or run around madly with uncontrolled breathing, and the coughing or wheezing will start.
You may have seen children who become upset, carry on for a while, and then develop a really excellent 'asthmatic' attack. This is real asthma, not psychosomatic, it can be dangerous and is often fatal.
The rules are simple. They are not allowed to cough [the dry asthmatic cough], and must be very still and reduce their breathing just as the adults learn to do. A very effective asthma stopper in children is be very still, place their forefinger under their nose, and breathe in and out in such small breaths that they can hardly feel the air from their nose on their finger. ['Breathe like a tiny little mouse'] In a short time the attack will abate.
Obviously, you must use common sense in an emergency, and follow any medical regime outlined for the child. This technique should be learned by the child in a non-emergency, and be used at the first sign of any problems, to totally avoid the emergency situation.
In a large number of my personal cases, all that was required is an explanation to the child of the cause of the problem, a short practice on what to do if their throat gets 'tickley', and the general strict instructions to 'Keep your mouth closed' and 'Dont Cough'. [Unless they are choking.]
This one session is often sufficient to stop all symptoms of asthma.

Home Remedies to Kill Fleas
A nasty annoying pest called the flea plagues both humans and animals alike. Although there are plenty of chemicals you can buy to kill these pests, most people would rather use home remedies for fleas. Chemicals can hurt both the fleas and your pets, and could do harm to you and your children. Before there were pesticides and other flea killers, people used old-fashioned home remedies to kill fleas.
The various ways and techniques we use to get rid of fleas today do not always give us the expected results. Side effects and short-lived extermination accompany the many ways we get rid of these vile pests. Prednisone and corticosteroid are drugs that are used to remedy fleabites. However, they weaken the immune system. There are chemicals on the market that are very successful in killing fleas but they are poisonous and could pose a threat in the long-term. There are plenty of negatives to using drugs and chemicals to kill fleas. One should take note that making their homes and bodies toxic waste dumps to kill the fleas just to have them return makes no sense. Home remedies for fleas are the way to go.
Some natural ways of ridding your home of these vile creatures are to keep your house as clean as possible, indoors and outdoors, carpets and floors, and every corner of your home should be vacuumed on a daily basis. I know vacuuming everyday can be a hustle for some people, however, that's the price one must pay to keep pets. Because fleas can jump far distances, food should be covered, and all food spills cleaned up quickly. Fleas do not eat food, but they can spread disease when they encounter food. According to experts, a clean home is not an attractive place for fleas. Watery areas is also considered a breeding place for fleas, all water should be mopped up immediately. Check pipes and faucets to make sure there are no leaks. If pesticides are the route you would like to take, use the less harmful natural ones. Other natural home remedies for fleas are coriander, bay leaves, dill, lemon peel, and cloves. Placing these items in cabinets and cupboards will keep fleas away from infesting these areas where food is stored.
Pets can appear less attractive to fleas if their given diets rich in essential fatty acids which strengthens their immune system. It is also essential that your pets bedding be washed on a regular basis. Keeping fleas away from your home and your pet is possible by following these simple steps.

08 Training 8: Arthur's Search For An Army, King Arthur's World (Walkthrough allotment 8)
08 Training 8: Arthur's Search For An Army, King Arthur's World (Walkthrough part 8) --- Playthrough / Walkthrough: part 8 Arthur's Search For An Army Training 8 Archers, Barrel Men, Knights, Soldiers, & Engineers King Arthur needed to be sure how his troops would behave in battle, so he devised yet more challenges to test them further. =-=-=King Arthur's World is a 1993 side-scrolling strategy game for the Super NES. It was developed by Argonaut Games and published by Jaleco. In the game, the player controls King Arthur. At the start of each level, only the King is present, but various types of troops can be brought out of the tent where he starts. The King and his troops can be commanded to move in a direction, which they do until they receive new orders, are killed or come across enemy troops, which they fight if they can. Also, some troops have special commands, such as for archers to fire arrows. The aim of each level is to proceed from the tent at the start, to the finishing point. This may require the player to defeat various enemies, avoid traps and obstacles. King Arthur is the only essential character. If he dies, the player has failed, and play can only continue if 100 gold coins are spent to rescue him, in which case the player restarts at his/her tent. The game can be played with the SNES control pad or, alternatively, with the SNES Mouse, as it is one of the few third-party games that support the device.
