Chispider freaked me out!! Arachnaphobia is my highest phobia! Ticks next! Will always throw out extra granules for visitors!!

Tick war has already been started and under control! Yard was treated with granules after hubby bitten. Ticks are horrid in the rural areas if yards not kept, and granules put out in spring and again in late summer. Several different kinds of ticks abound in Arkansas, including the very real "seed" ticks that do get on a person en masse, and are about 1/2 the size of a period.. They crawl quickly and in a group so easy to see in the brown moving mass! Usually a person gets them by walking/standing next to high grass/weeds/brush, etc. that they are nested on.

Best way to get them off is to pull off a strip of duct tape and... pull them up!! Before they latch on!! Then run for the shower!!

Chigger story, anyone?

Yeah my grandparents were from Germany and they always talked about their beer like it was made from the hands of the Lord :)

Nah, I don't think I have any chigger stories.

We do get some pretty big ticks around here every once in awhile. A couple of summers ago, I had to get out the tweezers and pluck them off my dog and burn them. I think I counted about 20 or so, but She didn't get them that much after but did die at the end of that summer. :(

Aww.. sorry to hear about that. The loss of a special dog is a lot of pain. We always had a lot of flea prob's in IN but not really ticks. Don't really know if that could have been it, but I am certain it makes you wonder. God Bless the good pals our dogs are! They love us always!

You know me... :D

Always trying to keep you grounded. :eek:

Ok Alty, I think I can handle Alberta then.

KC, while we're all at Alty's I'll try to behave but me makes no promises... reowr ;)

I need to travel and would love to go to many of the places here...

Canada our friendly neighbor to the north... never thought aboot going until 'meeting' the good folks here.

I've always wanted to go to The Land Down Unda and see what's there. But I ain't eatin' any Vegemite sandwiches!

Want to see what life is like in Merry olde England... is it really gray there? :confused:

Plus I'd like to see more of the US.

Thanks, it's one of the worst losses. I haven't had any problems with fleas so far, and I have no more dogs now.

I'm a southern girl so I need sunshine...

I'm about 10 minutes from Raleigh the capital city of North Carolina... about a stone's throw from Chapel Hill... you've heard of us right?? NCAA Champs... :rolleyes:

Lived in Raleigh for almost five years (do you remember?) and it left a 'soft spot' in my heart and a longing to go back, I loved living there. I have never lived in a more beautiful place and have never met people as friendly as North Carolina, especially Raleigh, beautiful (sigh).

Have to be physically restrained from commenting... :mad:

EDIT: The way I scratch backs, often turns into other things... guess it's a good thing I was replaced.

Depends if you can look at anything other than the pavement :D
For example you'll see the odd tree about the place and they tend to be green and brown most of the time :D
