Aarrgghh! That sucks, pun unintended! Sorry, Dawg.
Yes it does! I have so much to do outside, but with all the bugs, I'm the one who gets sucked!

The squitters in MA are tiny. And stealth-like. And come out way earlier than OH ones ever did. I miss those big, ol' mosquitoes like we had back home. They were big enough you could usually hear them coming. You had a good chance to get one before she got you. Not real bright, either. Himself watched one try to drill through the glass on his watch case before he put the poor thing out of its misery.
At the time I was told about what one of our local schools was doing forcing students, making it a mandatory thing that the kids make a public account not sure if it's fake book, tweeter or what. So that they can monitor what the kids post.The person who told me that said if they didn't do it the kids wouldn't pass the class.I thought, noooo way.Can't be true.Sure enough it is.
Now it's starting in other areas.
What ever happened to privacy? Parental rights to watch over our own without the school district stepping in and taking the control from us?
I remember being told in a hoity way to step back.Don't ask questions about my sons progress.Don't dare ask to volunteer.
Who's paying for the cell phones. Parents our the tax payers?
What if the family moves.The kids graduate.Does the monitoring continue?
I'm so glad we yanked one of ours out of the public school system here.
Knowing mine they would make fake profiles just to jerk the system around using disposable phones.LOL!
No wait, we would do it for them!
He's lucky. People who run from police are more likely to be shot.
In this section of Boston, 90% of the police and fire departments are manned with folks from the neighborhood. Pirate went to school with most of the men who are on the force in this part of Boston. Very rarely do they pull their guns. And only if they have been shot at first. Also, because of the streets being so narrow, no patrol car is allowed to do a chase. They try to get the plate number and work from that. This is not a city that riots. We may demonstrate, but not riot. Boston is loaded with college kids. They know if they riot, they WILL get tossed out of school. If that happens, they then have to face their parents who just paid out a few thousand dollars for their next semester. That tends to set the whole mood of the city. There are probably more college kids than bona fide citizens of the city. When Poo was in grade school then Jr. high, we knew the first names of most of the cops. And the majority of them were younger than me. Years ago when I was bartending, I used to serve the majority of the cops in this part of Boston. And I also worked for the BPD. So I know how they work.
If they remove their gun from the holster, they have to go before a review board. In the meantime, they have to surrender their gun, until their hearing. They know most of the young folks in the area they patrol. Without their gun, they feel almost naked. So they think twice before they remove it from the holster.
Of all the things mentioned that draws mosquitos, DH is average size, not obese, does not drink beer, eats a lot of sweets and no garlic. I think it's the sweets. I am smaller than he is, but more overweight than him for my gender. I eat garlic daily, but no sweets. I am type O but he doesn't know his blood type.
Long ago I heard that using some Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil is supposed to be a good mosquito deterrant, but DH won't use it. Too girly for him. I guess he'd rather get bit.
We were told to stick one or more to your clothing. Stirling walked around with the dryer sheets sticking out of pockets, etc. He got bitten just as much as usual.I have heard the same thing about Bounce Outdoor Fresh fabric softener sheets, not sure if it is true or not.

We'll be married fourteen years this September��. She loves us very much but she can be very nosey and intrusive.
Exactly! And I'm a diabetic so cooking from scratch with high quality ingredients is one way I keep my blood sugar in check! ��
