Howdy Y’all! 'Tis been a quiet day at the orifice. Not one whiny phone call all day. Either everybody’s happy or they’ve figured out da bear don’t deal well with whingers. 😃 **{{{Sari}}}** one day at a time. I keep remindin’ myself of this everyday since my melt down. **’Mika** I sent you a fb friend request. ---

Remind us again why you’re a mumper? **Swampy** ’s a Big. Fat. Liar!!! Has anyone actually seen him in Jawja? He’s really a Noo Yawker (or a fraudster) because you car must be registered in the state that you live in & he obviously has his Jeep registered in Noo Yawk. Here’s the [proof](http://www.odometer.com/lifestyle/5787/29-clever-license-plates-that-slipped-past-the-dmv#slide/12). Can’tja tell how busy I am at irk today? Met a friend for dinner last night. Parked on the street but didn’t realize I needed to look up at the _baaaddd_ parking spot - apparently under a boidz nest. When I got home, it was too late/dark to wash the car but I at least hosed off the dozen or so splotches. Stoopit boidz. :mad: Stoopit skeeters. :mad: ---

Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) found The African Queen on cable last night and we watched it before she went to the Dark Satanic Mill. “Can you build a torpedo, Mr Allnut?” “Then do so, Mr. Allnut.” 🙂 ---

Actually, not a typo - just a non-American English spelling. Looks like \*\*FCD \*\*is off until further notice. ALL of his projects are defunded. He said it’ll probably be a week before they’ve got money again, so he plans to finish painting his bike. So I’ll have him underfoot again… :eek: 😃 ---

Howdy all! Been too busy to post and have not read all. As for the OP. I am in Florida and we have not only Mosquitos but also No-See-ums. Similiar to chiggers. I have achieved partial immunity to insect bites. It is especially hard on fresh meat though. Which brings me to the, also apropos to the OP. At irk today our grounds maintenance were irking and disturbed a honey bee hive. One worker was stung hundreds of times and the other dozens of times. They picked over 300 stingers out of one fellow. He had bees in his nose, in his ears, in his shoes. He is spending the night in hospital. Crazy. Off to cook. And read thread. ---

Thank you **Swampy** I never ask but I do hope things are getting better for you. {{{ **Midget** }}} **Mika** when I clicked your link I went to my fb page. Why is **Swampy** no longer living in Georgia? I feel like I missed a page or something. I’m trying to get my meds together for next week and I am so damned confused. I had to switch one pill for another 10 days before - that part is done. I have to stop another pill 3 days before, stop one pill the day of, and double up on the other pill (from 2 pills 2x a day to 2 pills 4x a day) until the day of. I shouldn’t have tried to do it mid week.
