what to do about carpet beetles?

so i was innocently sitting on my bead browsing the interweb when i look over too see a vary small insect crawling across my pillow. so i think to myelf i could just squash it or flush it down the toilet…but then i thought this might be bad so i decided to put the bug in a cup and google to see if i might inquire what kind of bug it was…it looked like a lafy bug so i assumed it was a beetle so i looked…and i found that it was a varied carpet beetle a vary small bug with small antenne and brown and white markings on its back…they lay eggs larvey live a long time and eat things like fabrics and dead skin and preserved foods. my room is messy with lots of cloths on the CARPET (where they like to live and hide)but this one i found on my bed….the cloths are clean my sheets are not…what should i do? >:( i dont know if it layed eggs and i cant see any others around im going to clean my room and wash my sheets….but what now i have to go to sleep and i cant wash my sheets right this min laundrys closed what now?

what basket are your eggs in?

Are you renting or in a condo or city home with your money in the stock market getting your water from the city your food from the few grocery stores in the area and counting on our government ot save all you have worked for.

Or are you a “hick” or as many on here call us rural inbred or uneducated. we “hicks”(my extended family)live in western Mi on three adjoining farm sections (about 400 acres) we raise beef chickens pigs horses. We hunt fish and have the largest fresh water reserve on the planet (great lakes)we all work but mainly for needs such as cars and sundry items for the home TV’s etc…..But in the end the land can sustain our families.
Why are we “hicks” because our grandparents came through the depression and knew of the inability of the government to be truth full and to do what is right. they counted on themselves and on the family and we still do.
Question is I see many on here throw rocks and name call rural folks and it just makes me smile to know that those will be the first ones to realize that they put their eggs in a basket that will grind them to dust to preserve itself.
Where are your eggs.
Tuna once in awhile we have that problem but we shoot coyotes around here.wink wink
Spur my father in law bought 250 of the acres in 1960 for 300 and acre all our land is ours. well as much as it can be with property taxes and all.
Spur things are not good in detriot grand rapids etc…. but the farmers here are ok.
davec..I don’t know how you live there I feel like I am in prison in a big city it just “feels” wrong surrounded by concrete steel and glass.
The only “life” in the city is people and many of them are not what you would call a friend.
Ann Coulter….you need a new fixation.
Guru..god forbid the economy fails but if it does you can always come by for a nice corn fed steriod free steak.
Take care fellow gander.

Why did I care so much about this stray dog?

As a child I was very sensitive and emotional. If you could see me now you would never know it. I am hardened and have buried myself alive inside. I have lately been trying to change and become more like the person I actually am. Losing any kind of pet as a child just killed me, it hurt so much i finally at one point in my life decided just not to have any. One year ago I got a labrador….he is for sure my best friend and we have hours of fun together. Such a giver…..of love, attention and loyalty. My love for animals is coming back out and i have been trying to change more. Where I work is not the best place in the world and there have been some stray dogs that appear out of no where….all different types have shown up and most are just passing through. Well there was this one pup, looked like a german/austrailian shepherd mix that would show up every morning looking for food. I took this kind soul under my wing and fed him every day….he would come over and lay in my office and just kick it with me. Im the Operations Manager so noone ever said anything even though I know its probably not ethical to have a pet in a place of business. Well this stray grew up real good. I would bring eggs and dog food from home and he was getting real healthy. He would be so happy to see me in the morning after a cold day of rain. What a survivor he was. He became a mainstay at work and the other business across the street. We all looked out for him. He would cock his little head to the side when we called him and there was something about his spirit and his survival skills that just demanded respect. I wanted to find a home for him but a lot of people were telling me that since he was a stray he probably wouldnt be happy in a cooped up yard. I worked new years eve and I saw him and fed him as usual. He did his normal showing in the morning, ate and gave me his little cock of his head in thanks…..it always made me feel good to feed him. I would watch him eat and tell him that even if his life was going to be short (because of his circumstance) I was going to make sure he had a nice meal in him every morning and a place to hang where at least someone cared for him. The day after New Years he wasnt there. I went to the dog pound and searched the DOA list for a couple of weeks but he just was gone. I thought someone had felt his kind soul and taken him in. A week ago an employee from the business across the street came over to talk…..I found out my little buddy was ran over. I kind of have the bad ass look and noone really knows how i am inside. I almost cried right there. That poor guy never had a chance. After the employee left I went into the bathroom and cried for my little buddy. I dont know if he suffered. I guess he had gone to sleep under the tire of a truck and hopefully never felt a thing. I cant stop thinking about him and the unfairness of this earthly world. Why cant I stop thinking about him. Its like if i do stop thinking about him then noone will ever think of him and he will slip into oblivion. I called him rufus and im sounding out to you right now rufus……I REMEMBER YOU DUDE AND YOU WERE THE BEST. He lived the hard streets for 9 months and survived and I loved and respected him.

does anyone know the ratio of apple sauce to replace one egg when cooking. what else will replace eggs.?

I understand other foods can be used to substitue eggs in cooking such as prunes. Any other ideas.
