Wait, your "here" and my "here" are pretty damn close! I spent 3 and a half years at Ft Hood TX and the chiggers were REAL bad. We would spend two weeks at a time in the field and we would be covered in thsoe damn little monsters! 2 1/2 hours close. I spent 3 years at Ft. Knox. The summer really sucked there. Ticks, Chiggers, Yellow Jackets, Sweat Bees. I love wildlife. But what is the purpose of theses creatures ? But then again I can say that about some humans I know as well.

I like to think i'm a tough young man..I'm strong, and smart...but uhh...ticks..I have a tiny little problem with...I remember I felt something on the back of my neck one day, and I reached around and there was this big ol fat tick about the size of a small spider, filled with my blood, needless to say I crushed the little basturd..no one takes my blood but me. I was driving one day and i felt something on my neck. I went to swipe it and it was a huge cockroach! I just about died and wrecked my car!

Roaches, They creep me out. No, joke. I see one in my apartment maybe once a year and I scream like a lunatic!

No, joke. I see one in my apartment maybe once a year and I scream like a lunatic! as long as you're here...you KNOW you can read my posts and still have me on your ignore list, right? I'm getting tired of the three or four times a day that I get the "notice that I've been added" popup. (Do you realize that I get a notice everytime you re-add me to your ignore list?) Yesterday it was 4.....it's already been once today and it's not even 7:00 am. Come on, Spitfire.....get it straight now.......that's a good gal.....

We almost forgot flies and gnats. I was in Boy Scouts and on a camping trip my friend started screaming in the middle of the night. They rushed him to the emergency room where they flushed two gnats mating out of his left ear canal.

Those things bite/sting.....A friend and I were hiking through the woods and the damned thing followed us the entire day. VERY annoying!

When I got out of the Army I needed a job until the Fall Semester started. I took a job as Pest Control. I went to a mobile home park. You could hear the roaches move through the walls of the trailer.

You could hear the roaches move through the walls of the trailer. oh ya.....seen similar. The business I own occasionally gets a contract to do some refurbishing on OLD rental properties - (some people destroy everything) I pulled a sheet of paneling from a living room wall about 3 months ago and there was a roach-fall. MILLIONS of them scattered every direction, and yes, they are quite loud when there's that many.

Again, I hate admitting it, but insects and the like have always made me squemish...especilly bees...I guess thats my fault. when I was like 5, I didn't know what a bee hive was, and I happened upon one once...decided that the best course of action in my young mind was to throw rocks at it...bad, bad, bad idea.... although, I do find alot of these creatures incredibly interesting (especilly chiggers) it still doesn't detract from the fact that I don't want one on me...ever.

Bees have it in for me. They single me out and chase me. lol! What I really hate is wasps. When I was 5 i disturbed one of the nests and not massive stings. I remember very little of it. They are scary mean looking bastards.

They are scary mean looking bastards. WHA What What!!?? Why would bees "have it in for you"? This would insinuate that they are attacking you for a valid reason. (Insinuate - To introduce or otherwise convey (a thought, for example) gradually and insidiously. ) ".....disturbed one of the nests and not massive stings." Um, huh? "What I really hate is wasps." This should read, "What I really hate are wasps. "I remember very little of it." - Well, not forgetting enough not to tell us about it. Seems as tho you remember it all. just trying to help, Sugar Dumplin. and, finally, Can bees be bastards? (Bastard - A child born out of wedlock.)
