Safety First!

Before setting out to sea, all passengers must practice safety!

The Silent Predator

Mosquitos!!! *scratch*

While on vacation last November, in a climate unlike the Pacific Northwest, I was assaulted. It was silent, but the effects were long lasting. *scratch* It happened at the Magic Kingdon (a.k.a. the Happiest Place on Earth)… I believe in the evening. I experience something to the degree I have never known. I have been bitten by mosquitos before - many, many times. I camp, *scratch* I venture outside *scratch* when it is warm and muggy.

I was foolish, I assumed that in November *scratch* all mosquitos went away (hybernate, whatever mosquitos do…). Not so much. Very NOT so much in Florida!

The count, *scratch* you may want to sit down:
18 on just my LEFT leg (7 of the bites on my inner ankle), and 9 on my RIGHT leg *scratch* *scratch* *scratch*!!!

I\’m surprised I didn\’t get mosquito poisoning or something. It makes me itch *scratch* just to think about it!

The next day we left on our cruise *scratch*. The first few potentially restful *scratch* nights, were not as restful as they could have been… *scratch* *scratch* *scratch* *scratch* *scratch* *scratch* *scratch* *scratch*

The Happiest Place on Earth…

Hmmm, maybe my kids didn\’t find the fabulous fireworks display at the Magic Kingom (last November) so enchanting after all. Once the fireworks ended, their fear and trembling did too. Poor kids… I wonder how much therapy they\’re gonna need after that one. The \”happiest\” place on earth…….

A Nerd? A Loser?

I got this from Froggie. I found out I\’m not as nerdy as I thought I might be, but have some nerd blood running through my veins…

Then I took the loser test…

I can\’t be too big of a nerd since I can\’t seem to figure out how to make this post and the links work - or line up like I want! Oh well…
