Not to fault anyone, Austinmom, but my husband is a stay-at-home father and I clicked on this link hoping to see something he might find useful. In any event, thanks for posting it!

This is a great "last minute" idea for either a side dish or dessert, especially when unexpected guests arrive . Thanks!
In Ladybug Invasion
Yes, I have found that vacuuming is the only thorough way to get them out of the house! According to a website I found, these ladybugs are actually called the Asian Ladybug (Harmonia axyridis) and were imported into the United States by the agriculture industry to help curtail crop destroying insects. These Asians will prey on some forms of insects our natives will not touch. Unfortunately, these bugs don't like the cold weather winter brings. They chose to hibernate inside buildings, rather than under bark and leaf litter like our native Ladybugs ... The Asian bugs have no natural enemies in North America.

In 9 Parenting Tips
Christine, I went to the site, and it's fine.
Most of the folks who post links here will not be cutting and pasting the info at the site into their post, so you can assume that you will need to click on the link to see the information. If you're concerned about viruses, you might want to get Norton or similar software that will be on the lookout for such things. Go to www.symantec.com and click on the "Norton 2008" link.
Full disclosure: I am not an employee or shareholder of Symantec, only a very satisfied customer.
Anyway, here are the nine tips, and they are dandies. Go to the web site for more details about each one:
