I hate mosquitos. @FISH I get severe reactions to their bites. The bites blister like I was burned.  :'(

Don't like humidity either. 

I've always wanted to go to Savannah though.

@ShayP

I want to try this out. My skin recovers within the hour from mosquito saliva, but I experience memorable and longterm blisters and sometimes scarring from fire ant venom. The little bastards.  :D

Hahaha, other than ducking micro-sized debris, going into that building wasn't going to protect the videographer from any sort of rock flying around.

Ammonia takes the sting out of fire ant bites. Toothpaste usually works for mosquito bites but is a distant second for fire ants.
Are we having fun yet?

I don’t know where to buy actual fire ant killer anymore.  The only thing I can find is the stuff that makes them move a few yards away.

Being that I use hydrogen peroxide to kill a lot of things, especially egg larvae in my garden, I would think that a 50 cent bottle of hydrogen peroxide with a small hole poked in the bottom laid next to a fire ant hill would wreak havoc on the living ants as well as the eggs.

My dad used to pour gasoline and light a match. After the initial burn off, he'd go back and pour more.

Interesting. @Camazotz Automat  I'm skeptical.  I can see it being useful for stingers, splinters, and thicker venom.  However, I doubt it can withdrawal what ails us.  Mosquitoes, fire ants, et al. 

I did have a chuckle when there was a warning to not use it on the face or neck.  I wish I had this when I was young so I could give myself hickies thus making the young ladies think I was a man of action.  ;D

Seriously...I feel your pain.  After my blisters heal, I occasionally get pock marks from the bites.  :(

I have been using Sawyer products to repel mosquitoes and it works quite well.  It lasts a good 8 hours too before reapplying.

It's the only repellant that ever worked for me.

Today: I could not count down from 40.

I can't speak for anyone else, but this Full Moon has been a blue streaked bitch.

I'm sorry @sean92008 . I know it must be awful. And scary. To not be able to rely on your brain like you always have.

As far as the driving, I thought that was de rigeur in LA. There is a certain area close by the Sports Arena in San Diego I have to drive often. For some reason always someone driving the wrong way on the streets there. Just take their lead.  Shoot the other drivers a dirty look, flip them off, yell "Asshole!" and drive a little faster

May I ask, why? Is there anything to the "Wondering if this is the end" ? Also "getting rid of things from a life I can no longer live" ?

@TigerLily - that street that curves around the sports arena just north of it, I knew that street really well. There was a rehearsal hall there. One of my bands also have an office there near that sunglass store.

Yeah, I have something that would normally take quite a few years to fully develop, ultimately ending up in a wheelchair. While my HMO took 7 years before they did brain and spine scans, I was finding out on Yahoo News about the effects of this particular thing on my brain. It is a fucking joke, managed healthcare is managed in the way to save them money. That must include not educating their staff. I joked about the doctor who ordered the scans must have been new. I looked her name up and she's no longer with Kaiser.

I've been trying to tie up things nicely. Bought a couple of my kids cars and did all the big maintenance on it so that they have a car that'll last them another hundred thousand miles easily. I'm also unloading tons and tons of stuff that might mean something to me, but not to anybody else. The stuff that's worth money, if my kids didn't want it and I can't sell it quickly, I destroy it and throw it away. Smashing and melting my record collection was mildly therapeutic.

I am also planning to get out of this state because of the cost of living and finding a better place for assisted living. (California is not only expensive, the labor force is really bad.)

All of this is without any government aid. No disability, not yet, at least.

Managed health care is a sick (excuse the unintended pun) joke. 2/3 of the money goes to the health insurance companies easy. Maybe a quarter actually goes toward your medical care. Maybe. I've always said I hope I go out as quick and easy as turning off a light switch. Very few of us are that lucky. I very much doubt I will actually be one of them. I don't know if it's better to go quick with no warning. Or to prepare. Take care of loved ones.
Let's pm. I'm happy to discuss whatever you want. But no dating. I'm taken  ;)

If I win a lottery, I will hire a mafia hitman to kill everybody who brings frivolous lawsuits against me.

I think I will get a bulk discount.

@TigerLily - thanks for the offer.
