Plowing straight ahead come what may |
And it hurts!... Little bastage nailed me between second and third toe!...I'll have to give credit to him/her...it paid me back for swatting it down to the ground with a fly flap about 10 minutes earlier (I should have finished it off...that will learn me!)...it crawled the 6 feet to where I was painting a bean bag toss game for my grandson's B'day party tommorow...knowing full well I would step on it. It went out like a revengeful champ!...my three toes are swelling together  ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | ||

Be glad you stepped on it, that way it only stung you ONCE. Had one fly into a shirt sleeve when riding the motorcycle and the damned bastard stung me 8 times before I could get the bike stopped and rip my shirt off. BTW, learned my lesson and now I ONLY wear long sleeved shirts when riding no matter how blistering hot it is. I've stopped counting. | |||

Ouch! Sorry to hear! I sure hate those little devil's. They love to build nests at the tops of my garage and deck doors. I try to catch them early and eradicate them with extreme prejudice. A few years ago I had a whopper of a nest built up on the second story peak of a roof overhang. The nest wasn't enclosed, but it was easily bigger than a softball. I let an exterminator handle that one. It's been some years since I was last stung, and I'd like to keep that string going. I found that RAID makes a spray product that foams sort of like a fire extinguisher, and it's very effective! -ShneaSIG Oh, by the way, which one's "Pink?" | |||

Now and Zen |
Paint the underside of your eaves and overhangs light blue, a sky blue color, the wasps won’t build nests because they think it is not covered,to them it appears to be open sky. My cousin is the one who told me about this. This was done at her house a couple of years ago and from what I’ve seen it works. Sorry about your foot.  ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

I'm sorry about your foot, you're going to remember that every time you take a step for a little while. I had one of those incidents as well. The little sucker bounced off my chest right into my full face helmet. It was right in the middle of our 13 year cicada season, so I assumed that is what it was. Apparently bouncing off my chest pissed it off something good, and me reaching up there to brush it out since I thought it was a cicada pissed it off some more. It started stinging me, and let me tell you what a feat it is to get a motorcycle stopped and helmet ripped off while a wasp is stinging you in the face. He got me twice for sure, and maybe a third time, I don't really know. After all that, he had the nerve to fly away like nothing happened. He won that round completely. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

Just get bald faced hornets to nest nearby. No more pesky wasps!!! Just kidding, those things are so fucking mean they attack other wasp nest and kill everyone in it. They are far more aggressive than a normal wasps. ___________________________________________________ But then of course I might be a 13 year old girl who reads alot of gun magazines, so feel free to disregard anything I post. | |||
