I’m blaming it ALL on you people- I’ve got a itching for a squonk :w00t: ! Just say NO!
It doesn’t make sense for me because I vape 6-8 different flavors during the day. Just Say No :cry: !!
Scratch that itch, life's too short :p

I have found my squonker yearnings to be highly intermittent. LOL. If I wait it out, I continue to not buy one. Days like brown recluse spider bites and the associated medical costs keep it at bay for longer.

Although, CREATOR HEAVENS ABOVE, if I promise to NEVER buy a squonker will you knock it off?

Yeah, I have a feeling that won't be enough so I also have BORIC ACID A REALLY LARGE VAT, also expensive. LOL.

Clearly the beasts in Arizona are never going to allow me to squonk.

Grr. I did not expect to spend most of mother's day dealing with ANOTHER Recluse bit, but that's what happened.

It truly, totally sucked and also, I must've gone to 15 pharmacies too, I had no idea Costco's didn't open on Sundays. Lucky me.

I also got a steroid shot, and a week's worth of steroids, so if I appear (weirder) than usual, it's probably that. I spent most of the day in tears, and I don't even... I wasn't sad. I also spent about 45 minutes sitting in the Walmart aisle with (purloined, although I did buy them) magnification glasses, asking google the various chemical names of Boric acid, and trying to figure out what poisons were in WHAT compounds, because I am going to

BORIC THE ENTIRE PERIMITER OF THE HOUSE (inside and outside). And also a pemitter further OUTSIDE the house.

This is war. Oddly, I think the last time it happened was right after I joined here, this is war!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BUGS are ALL going to die. For best efficacy, I should probably call PETA to come lovingly "rehome" all the bugs on my area. I may call and ask, just for fun. "PETA, I'm about to kill infinity bugs and possibly use a flame thrower too, would you like to intervene? You can throw pale yellow goo on me if you'd like, you know, just because I hate animals... "

Heh.

I feel for you. Obviously, it affects you medically. They affect me mentally and physically.

I am considered by most to be a tough, fairly aggressive New York gal yet I fall apart when I see a bug. Deathly afraid. As a kid, if I saw one --any kind, I'd throw a pot over it and run out of the house until my Dad came home. I almost quit a job in adulthood because giant waterbugs were flying in the office. Yes, waterbugs fly at a certain time of year! They wanted to keep me and actually closed the business for 2 days and bug bombed the place.

My latest bug fiasco nearly paralyzed me. I started getting bugs in my kitchen. As you can imagine my home is bug-free. My long-time neighbor had been foreclosed upon and evicted and I just knew it was coming from there. Bug guys came to me repeatedly, could not find an issue and I was way freaked out. Each night I would sit up almost all night with an exterminator wand and wait for the one or two to come out, scream and blast 'em. Not healthy! Ended up that the realtors finally let my bug guy in (after me threatening to derail any sale they may have and picket the place) and they found that he had made holes in the wall and put plastic bags in the walls with food in it. I guess he was upset about the foreclosure.

So....the bug guys decided to bomb my kitchen and the foreclosed home kitchen which are sort of back to back. I was given instructions to empty everything and would have to leave the home for 4 hours. I made arrangements for the dogs and family, confirmed everything and stayed out for nine hours. NINE HOURS. Called them on cell to make sure it was safe to come home. Came home, parked car, walked into the kitchen to check work and boom---flew up in the air and landed hard. (funny now --- not then). Everything was wet and I was soaked with bug stuff. Gross. Heard numerous crunches and knew I broke my wrist. Within seconds, it was really huge. Ate advil, grabbed ice and a towel and drove to emergency. Wrist broken in 5 places. Had them bandage me up and I left. Refused IV's and all the other stuff they wanted to do to me. Had to get dogs and family. Saw specialist and fortunately I healed without surgery and not too many lasting effects.

Two months later I woke up and could not walk and was in agony. I am a healthy person who never had anything like this happen. Was taken by ambulance to ER. They drugged me up and kept asking me if I fell and I kept saying no. I insisted that I did not fall and just woke up this way. Finally, they send a Doc in who is talking to me like I'm a ....., asking me my name and stuff repeatedly. Then he very slowly asks me if I was there two months ago. I said yes and he was like "SO YOU DID FALL". I said, "yes", but that was over 2 months ago. I just woke up like this today.

I had shattered disks and had some crazy nerve stuff going on that they attributed to the fall. Did not walk for 5 months, walker for 3 months, cane for 2 months ....

I hate bugs!!!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear it! That sounds awful.

Spiders don't freak me out (that much) only past a certain size. Brown recluses don't bug me to kill, but only once did I "feel" the bite, the other times it's been intermittent.

The husband won't finish closing up the house (probably why we had so many bugs this year, before that it was fine.) SO I AM GOING ON A BORIC ACID war. He kept saying stuff like, "But, I don't want to be poisoned under the house!" Total BS, boric acid is FINE once it dries. And yes, although I have ZERO desire to go under the house, I am going to (when the husband is absent and BLAST THE HELL out of the insulation and everything else.

I might wear his hazmat suit. I don't really want to it's DISGUSTING. Although, probably a reason why I SHOULD. Maybe a mask and my most disreputable clothing that I can TORCH.

I'm DONE at this point. AZ SUCKS, I used to live in Sydney an NOTHING like this ever happened. LOL.
