Mosquito War

Another Dead Mosquito ~ Earthlife Web

A little mosquito once sat on my arm,

her evil intent was to cause me some harm.

To stick in her proboscis and suck up my blood,

leaving behind a sore itch I must rub.

I think its quite mean doing something like that....

So I raised my right hand and I swatted her flat.


I'm waiting hopefully for the next cold front as we begin to feel the heat, dampness and mugginess of the city. And it's still considered winter here!!

Unfortunately, as the weather changes, so does the amount of mosquitoes in our house. Ray and I have been mercilessly attacked by mosquitoes the past 2 days. I currently have 4 neat little dots on my right cheek and 1 on my left cheek. I also have several on my arms, shoulders and back. Plus there's the constant feeling of being attacked by some bug when it turns out only to be a string or a piece of my hair. It's not very pleasant.

Tonight, after some advice from some friends from church, we're going to come back home armed for battle. We're going to be getting a mosquito zapper, and maybe one of those tennis racket things that ZAP! mosquitoes until they burn to a crisp.

If I were buddhist I would probably not be doing well on the Karma cycle having all these evil thoughts against mosquitoes, but I'm not. And I'm very happy to get rid of these nasty insects!

there's this 'air refreshner' you can use to keep mosquitoes out of your house. not sure what it's called but they sell it in the stores.
