    I couldn’t agree more on the mosquitoes… as well as cockroaches and other creepy crawlies.

    Alix would have a field day with the roaches and creepy crawlies. Hopefully, Gramma brought home a (very dead, thank you very much!) crawly from Haiti.

    @dkendraf Nice idea but airport security would lock her up for carrying in an illegal substance or find another reason to lock her up for transporting critters without a permit.

    Of course, that doesn’t stop the exotic little, er, darlings from coming to my local grocery store in boxes of bananas and other tropical fruit. We’ve had reports of the most entertaining spiders showing up here – sometimes at -40º!

    Those “banana” spiders can REALLY be dangerous.

    The tarantulas can only bite, the others can do worse.

    -40 puts them in a state of suspended animation.

    Yeah, but we have a few diseases of our own – MRSA, for starters.

    Haiti? Could have been New Orleans after Katrina.

    Reminds me of the goodbyes I either said or felt, when I was mustered out of the Army.

    I willingly say goodbye to all that missery. Evie time for a nice warm shower, cleaner bed, and great food. Not to mentioned a family to come back to.

    For today everyone stay safe. God’s Blessings to the famlies who lost loved ones who gave their lives to protect our country. Thank you

    I agree, Kab! Remembering those who unselfishly gave their life for our country…

    No at or below freezing they are dead. No coming back when all your body cells have burst from the ice formation in the cytoplasm and protoplasm. No coming back to life then.
