I've tried the vinegar-in-a-bowl trick--which worked perfectly for me at my old apartment--and the flies are laughing at me. I'm currently marinating an overripe piece of watermelon in a bit of vinegar in a little container and they aren't interested in that, either. I swear we had no issues until several weeks ago when my boyfriend bought a couple of bananas and all of the sudden we had the flies and now I can't get rid of them. No products I'm seeing online have consistently good reviews. What foolproof methods have you used to get rid of them? I'm going crazy! On 7/21/2020 at 4:58 PM, peacheslatour said: Try white wine. It works for me. On 7/21/2020 at 5:03 PM, SoMuchTV said: I dunno. I tried quite a bit of white wine, but when I woke up, the fruit flies were still there. Oh, that's not what you meant...? Okay, more seriously... @bilgistic - did you put a drop of Dawn in the vinegar solution? And/or put a sheet of plastic wrap over the top and punch a few holes in it? (Bugs check in, but they can't check out!) I thought the fruit fly discussion sounded familiar... the above exchange is from the Pet Peeves thread, from about a year ago. Not sure if the original problem got solved there, though. And... I just realized this has moved on to Small Talk. Sorry about that. Carry on! Edited July 6, 2021 by SoMuchTV 3 Link to comment

bankerchick July 8, 2021 Share July 8, 2021 I apologize if this has been posted before, but I just watched the commercial for different sized Glad bags and when to use them, and the guy cleans up a spill but as he is dragging the paper towel across the table, he leaves a huge trail of the white goop he cleaned up. He just leaves it and throws the paper towel into the Glad bag. Ugh. 4 Link to comment

It's wonderful. My SIL told me about the generic and gave me a tube. I asked my doc, and she prescribed some for me (before it became OTC). She mistakenly prescribed the 3% instead of the 1% and when I went to pick it up, the pharma tech asked for $999.00. Re-scripted at 1%, it was *only* $68. When my brother & SIL went to Europe, she saw it in the drug stores, OTC, for $16 a tube. She brought me back 2 tubes. Now it's readily available. Whew! Interesting thing about the Spanish Voltaren - it comes in a box, one side of which is studded with Braille. For all our ADA requirements, you'd think the USA would be doing that, as well. 2 3 Link to comment

I know I am having trouble sleeping, I don't need the commercials to constantly remind of that. The newest one is for Qunol Sleep Support. I can't find it in the stores anywhere, and I have been looking for it. There's a page on their website, but it's not in their online store. 1 Link to comment

The Lume ads with the peach remind me of a comic I saw (can't remember which one) who screamed, "Wash your ass!" as a suggestion to folks complaining they weren't getting sex. So maybe instead of rubbing Lume on your chocolate starfish, you just wash your ass. How smelly is that woman that she needs a special cream? Is she shoving her ass in people's faces so they get a good sniff? When she walks by, do people comment on the stench? It's a solution searching for a problem. 10 1 Link to comment
