mrs.cool
Mrs. cool, those are absolutely Noseums, we are getting chewed upon daily(or should I say nightly) by them. One neighbor says to put a dryer sheet in your pocket, and another says to make sure to take vitamin B complex to keep them away and I tend to think he may be on to something because I have noticed when I regularly take my vitamin B- complex I hardly get touched at all, while the wife sits there swatting all the time if we are outdoors By the way can you make it to the Lock and Key FRIDAY 12/4 ? Would love to meet you guys

No, we're back up nort'. We'll have to make it another time. I start a new job Monday so I don't know when we'll be back down again, but sometime soon I hope.
Does "Off" work on the no-see-ums? That new "powder soft" kind they make doesn't smell bad and it's not sticky or greasy either. It works pretty good on 'sconnie skeeters, I wonder if it'll work on no see ums.

DH uses an aerosol called REPEL Sportsmen Max - 40% Deet. I'll have to ask him where he gets it. It seems to work great when he remembers to use it.
I've heard about the Bounce dryer sheet for mosquitoes but have yet to try it with the noseeums. Thanks for the reminder, and I've put Vit B on my shopping list too!

I don't know what I do, but I have not been bitten by one bug while being down here for over a year! I think it must be plenty of Yeungling beer, Shiraz (Red Wine), or Resling (White Wine). Seriously, not one bite!

Hate to shatter your illusions there, BH, but if alcohol content had anything to do with it, I would have NEVER gotten bit!!!

It might be! Or it could be that I'm so big I scare 'em. You'd think as much as I'm outside - which is all the time! That I'd be a significant food source!

I have no illusions of that! I was thinking how damn good looking I am, and how you . . . . Well, I know it isnt the beer - anyway! So, it's gotta be something else. . . . I know it's not being good looking cuz I see a LOT of BEAUTIFUL women being bitten! Sometimes I wish I was a no see 'em! I'd have a feild day!! But then again, I hate getting slapped all the time!! I just hate it!

Yeah!!!! I'll bet you dinner and drinks (beers and wine - no Dom) (from 6:30 till 8:30 (I don't think you want to buy me drinks all night!) Wives included. Winner chooses the place (down here)! No points - I got the Ravens for the win. All told, It could be a couple hundred dollar night. Do you want to set a limit?
