Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I have heard many excellent reports on a lotion called Body Butter Baobab by NuSkin as a mosquito repellent. Pricey, but a little goes a long way!
Looking up online, there is specially treated clothing to prevent mosquito bites.
Hopefully, your DD uses repellant several times a day.
Do the bites make her sick?
Thank you! I will definitely look into it!
I do eat a high potassium diet, but maybe it is not being absorbed.
CWillie,
I know! I dislike Avon, but actually have seen that ants won't cross that powder or oil line. So not cosmetics, but for pest control, lol. My adopted philosophy when fighting pests is to be more of a nuisance than the pest.
I went door-to-door when I was younger. One customer was like the narcissists who keep you there for more than an hour before they will give you their order, talking crazy things. Definitely not worth it. So excruciatingly painful for me. I would never enter someone's house that was that crazy these days.
Seems unfair that Avon sells online and to stores undercutting their sales representatives. Kind of like the Fuller Brush Company did.
so that I can safely go outside.
Mosquitoes are aggressive, plentiful, bite thru clothing, ankle biters, and I get painful, swollen bites.
I am either super-sensitive or allergic. Cannot use the usual chemicals for mosquito repellant.
You could harvest it and sell it to herbal companies, it is valuable and not always readily available.
Great natural antibiotic, unless you are allergic.
I still mask up going into stores. I just wish there was some way to stop my eyeglasses from getting so fogged up. If I want to look at something in the store, I have to hold my breath !! I tried those anti-fog eyeglass sprays, all I can say don't waste your money.
Becky, enjoy your visit with your BFF.
Golden and llama, prayers for easy shots and recovery, if needed.
First time I've been really happy for more than moments since I filed for my father's guardianship and started down the parental caregiving road. Isn't it strange that the old aunt gets such a kick out of running around with the kids?
ff - I use a mouse with my laptops, and hard mouse pads, have a backlit keyboard and set the magnification to suit me which may vary from day to day with CFS blurriness. To each his/her own!
glad - I am so sorry you lost your contract. I know you are looking forward to getting settled in a new home closer to work.
I have what is a senior keyboard with easy to read letters, it's called "Keys U See", have had it for 10 years now. Yellow keys with black lettering. I tried to use a laptop, but the flat keyboard made my hands ache.
Have to use a mouse, because I have age related mild tremors, with a laptop that arrow was all over the place.
Sig-other use to use a laptop, but eventually he plugged in a new monitor, a senior keyboard, and a mouse. He was also running into age related issues and how is happy as a clam with his new setup.
We attract javelina if we put pumpkins out or the trash can.
We have a herd about 15 strong with babies roaming our neighborhood right now. One of the adult males challenged my truck, I guess I got to close to the babies.
How was your trip? Everyone have a blast?
