Hell, all fathers have dementia. Its inherited, you get it from your kids.
Isopods love the smell of hate. It makes them ravenously hungry, and horny.
The biggest fear I have about giant isopods is that there will be insufficient drawn butter, lemons, and beer.
73 years.
I’ve been going over thing in my room, moving shit & searching everywhere, & I can’t find anything.
No trace.
Maybe the store guy & Dad are right.
Maybe it was something else.
I should have gone to my Doctor, the day I had the problem.
Now, they’re mostly healed.
And they didn’t look much like the photos I saw online.
No really big red areas.
No blood on my sheets.
And I’m allergic to everthing!
I’m so tired & worn out right now, I don’t know if I’m coming or going.
Actually, going.
Dad insists I get my own apartment.
From the sounds of it you’ll be happier this way.
That is a proven and widely accepted fact. :eek:
Spread some D.E., swept it around, into the cracks, & vacuumed up the excess.
Hopefully, without Dad noticing.
“Hell, Fred, you think you got trouble? I got a boy, swears he’s being eaten by invisible bugs! Invisible bugs with a really disgusting sex life, don’t get me started! Anyway, to get rid of the invisible bugs he spreads expensive dirt all over the house, and then vacuums it up. On the sly, mind you! Gets it from his Ma, pretty sure, her whole family is crazy as a…loon.”
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was…(water flowing underground)…
The fact that the salesman sold you a used mattress or boxspring mislabelled and misrepresented as a new mattress or boxspring is all the malfeasance you need to prove. With bedbug infestations proliferating, this is so irresponsible (as well as larcenous) that as far as I’m concerned the burden of proof falls on the merchant’s head, not yours on the bedbug question. By all means pursue this with the relevant govt. agencies and consider the local media as well.
Well, he needs to prove it wasn’t new. Bosda thinks it wasn’t new because he thinks he has bedbugs. Given the prompt reaction of the retailer to the word that items he sold had (presumed) bedbugs, I don’t see any reason to just assume he’s a sleaze.
Or he knows he’s been nailed and he’s hoping to control the damage.
Except, it seems, he already let the guy tear it up and inspect it.
Actually, he said that after he suspected it may have had bedbugs, he removed it to the garage, and examined it more closely, and thought it looked like it might have been used.
A mattress doesn’t have to be used to have bedbugs. If a new mattress is delivered on a truck which also carts away used mattresses (which can be the case if the mattress store offers a disposal option for its customers), any bedbugs infesting the old mattresses can move over to the new mattress and infest it too.
Here’s hoping it was something other than bedbugs that bit you, Bosda. I wouldn’t wish a bedbug infestation on my worst enemy; they’re nearly impossible to get rid of.
I just have to say that this post has been slaying me at odd moments for three days now.
It’s punishment for what a bad kid you were when you were little.
Bosda, my sympathies.
That’s nothing compared with what he ordered his army of dung beetles to do. 
My God! I missed the call!
Better get rolling … 
It’s made me picture Bosda as Willard.
