I despise mosquitoes, and with my allergies and eczema the last thing I need is another thing to make my skin itch. <br /><br />I miss seeing my friends most of all. I'm not used to seeing much of my family anyway so they're harder to miss. :(Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-12435557885371987832020-06-18T12:26:10.893-04:002020-06-18T12:26:10.893-04:00Mosquitoes, we only get midges here but they are b...Mosquitoes, we only get midges here but they are bad enough, but I simply hate mosquitoes.<br /><br /><br />I had a long talk with our works physician about home office and social distancing and what to do and she said, it's simple, act as if you carry the virus and act as if every person you meet carries it.<br />I just don't dwell on it, it's not forever.<br /> <br />Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-54975496687156225032020-06-18T12:12:36.071-04:002020-06-18T12:12:36.071-04:00We seem to be the land of tick-fest.

It is a lamp-like device that hangs on a pole and has a bulb that emits a blue light. Bugs are attracted; then they fall into a catch place at the bottom where they die. Periodically empty it (we do it near the bird feeders--dessert). Think Costco sells them. It works for us. We keep it just below our above-ground deck. Doesn't make any zapping sound either and doesn't attract honey bees who are happily feasting on my lavender not far away.

Insects rarely bother us but up in the highlands of Scotland in the summer there are often clouds of midges - millions of them. They are horrible. They get in your hair and you breathe them in. You just have to get away from them.<br /><br />Trump didn't know that Great Britain is in possession of nuclear weapons. I can think of a residence in Florida we should nuke - not in Lloyd but down in Miami Beach!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-86214281468605131062020-06-18T11:28:33.119-04:002020-06-18T11:28:33.119-04:00I had to look up "gallinippers."

I've never heard of them and I don't remember ever seeing them, but they seem to be indigenous to the eastern USA so I must have at some point.<br /><br />I agree about the dearth of accurate information coming from the government.

I hate those bastards. they hurt! as for the idiot-in-chief and his idiot governors, well, yeah, more testing means we know of more cases, more cases means more people out there spreading the virus. I do not understand why they poo poo the increase in cases due to testing as if those people wouldn't be sick if they weren't tested and so don't really count. our own idiot governor in going full steam ahead giving the green light to open to 75% even though Texas has moved from the #5 position to the #2 position for most new infections.<br />ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-53828752538361157222020-06-18T07:12:54.283-04:002020-06-18T07:12:54.283-04:00Oohhh mosquitoes.

She is healthy but she also works around and sees other people. We have several family birthdays and one graduation this month and we will get together for at least three of them. We have not been with or seen any family for three months and I simply couldn't stay away any longer! My family is my weakness and I guess three months was my limit! <br /><br />Watch out for those big, bad bloodsuckers! I hate mosquitoes and swell up when I get bit.
