Officially Creeped Out

I saw that show. I don't know why I didn't change the channel. It is a sign that I have mentally went south. No offence, I like her, just not enough to watch her show.

Rachael needs to some breast. Pear shaped and flat. She has the money.

There is probably too much hype about it.

I was thinking about this topic today. Like you, I am creeped out by the whole thing. These infestations appear to be quite democratic–anyone can get them! It doesn't seem to relate to cleanliness or anything like that.

But then I thought–why are we so horrified? I mean, stop and think about it. People in poorer countries, whether they have bedbugs or not, routinely get bit by this and that because of their living conditions. Also, most of us spend the warmer months fending off mosquitoes, who managed to get us fairly often anyway. Flies get on our food in restaurants and spit on it.  And cockroaches live in restaurants.

Also, insect life is everywhere; we just don't see it. Our bodies have bugs in them–everything does. I realize these little critters are worse, because of their night time vampirous habits. And i have heard the itching can be tough.

But it's like anything else–if it happens, you deal with it. I sure would hate it, but I think the psychological effect it is having on people is worse than the physical one. They are just little bugs that have disgusting eating habits. They aren't going to give anyone a disease.

I think Bill used to keep bugs and lizards in his bedroom when he was young. I would like to hear his take on this.

Oh, it's just that we live in such a fear-based society. The current job of the news media is to whip us into a froth about practically everything – just one more thing t be afraid of. Be afraid, be very afraid. Lock yourself (and your loved ones) up tight, don't go outside, hell, don't even look outside – there's bad stuff, just waiting to get you. Life is gonna get you!

Or, just carry on, and deal with what comes your way only when it actually comes your way. Like throwing the stinkbugs out of the car.

ewww.  ick.  blegh.

I am one of those unncessarily tidy people and I just really can't help it.  I have honestly washed all new clothes for years before they are worn…send stuff to drycleaners too.

This is just frightening.

yuck.  oogie.  ugh.

I won't even drink tap water and neither do my dogz.  I am even more frightened of pesticides.

And there is a frog living in my garage.

Thanks for the warning Dian.  I like RR but would rather watch Ina or Giada.  Y'all shoulda been here for the pear/papaya sauce I made over the Hubs's homemade pasta the other night.  Mighty tasty.

Take good care…I gotta go clean sumpin' now.

hey, Dian, if it's ressuring at all, I learned something today. It has been said that there is a major growth in bed bug incurrences in my town. So I found some website somewhere (lost it now), and it actually gave a map and listing of apartment buildings in my town where infestations have been reported. There were actually only a handful, and some were 3 years old. So apparently the whole thing is being exaggerated, and they don't spread around so easily. It's not much around here, despite the large number of apartments and the fact that so many people buy used furniture or pick stuff off the streets to furnish them.
