Our hearts go out to our friendly neighbor and Massapequa business owner Francine. This past weekend, a fire tore through Made by Me on Merrick road and she lost 15 years of her heart and soul. A safe and creative place for all ages that has inspired so many and we would love to give back in any way that we can.

Reshare, repost, or help in any way you can. Any bit helps our wonderful neighbor.

Made By Me opened 15 years ago on Merrick Road.

OMG it is flea and tick season put your pet on preventatives -
Flea Facts
Fact 1: A female flea will lay at least 20 eggs a day. Half of the eggs will be female, which can eventually produce about 20,000 new fleas in 60 days.
Fact 2: Fleas put Olympic athletes to shame. They can jump 110 times their length. A flea jumping several inches is like an average-sized human jumping over a 30-story building.
Fact 3: When a flea jumps, it accelerates 20 times faster than a space shuttle.
Fact 4: Fleas have been on the earth for at least 165 million years. Flea fossils date back to the Mesozoic era, which includes the Jurassic period. At that time they were giants compared to today’s fleas, and their victims would have been dinosaurs.
Fact 5: Winter does not always kill fleas. Many larvae can survive short periods of freezing temps as long as they are wrapped snuggly in their cocoons. The lucky ones find warm spots to hide out until temperatures are more hospitable.
Fleas spread life threatening diseases

Tick Facts
Fact 6: Ticks are arachnids. Meaning, they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than insects.
Fact 7: Ticks do not fly, jump or fall from trees. They generally crawl up their hosts from the tips of grasses and shrubs. They breed in moist vegetation.
Fact 8: In many hard ticks, the saliva also acts like cement, helping to anchor the tick in place and making it harder for you to remove it. They also have anticoagulants and numbing agents in their saliva.
Fact 9: There are more than 850 species of ticks on the planet.
Fact 10: Bites from a Lone Star Tick can cause rare allergies to red meat in humans. Dogs can also develop this allergy and will react with itching, skin lesions and hair loss if their diets contain beef, lamb or pork.
Fact 11. Ticks spread life threatening disease such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain Fever and more.
