Your guess is as good as mine, I'm afraid! I laughed at the, "horse a peace" part, at least. I assume the "blood suckers" are mosquitoes, maybe? "Sweets" are probably meant to be, "sweats" as in "sweatpants?"

Maybe almost as bad as a veritable one, at times, but at other times only mildly hellish?

(This comment was about the upcoming hot and humid weather in WI.)

Apparently the reference is to a bar game in WI bars - dice. If each player has a horse apiece, then they're tied. Best 2 of 3, presumably.

See Urban Dictionary: a horse a piece - another way of saying 6 of 1, half-a-dozen of the other.

Be careful dealing with those online retailers. They may be inclined to forget you ordered.!

That's a lot of boots to the face.

If you say that to a Canadian soldier (or his entire regiment), those words might be interpreted as "Aboot face".
