Are no see um the black flies.

They suck.

Literally.
Black flies are about 1/8" long. No see ums will crawl right through a window screen.

A mosquito hardly leaves a mark. A blackfly leaves a 1/4" mark with spot of blood in the middle*. A no see um will leave a mark the size of a us quarter.

*unless you're particularly allrgic, then the whole side of your face will swell up or you'll end up in the ER.
 
I'll look it up but general rule about tomato - do NOT use warm or hot water - it will set the stain!
To remove greasy tomato sauce from wool, act immediately by blotting—never rubbing—the stain with a clean cloth. Treat with a mixture of cold water and mild dish soap (like Dawn) or a specialized wool cleaner, letting it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and air dry, avoiding direct heat.*

*I always forget about not drying using heat b/c I never put wool in the dryer and don't own a hair dryer

OMG - that was a 5 Kleenex dinner 😂 So hot... but so good 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

What's everyone else up to today?
Let's check in...
Is this some kind of dating app?
Oooh... brilliant!!
Just like that college bar called The Library
"I'm just going to The Library tonight, mom." :ROFLMAO:
Not the start to the day I wanted. Gale had blown our recycling bin over. Half an hour collecting plastic and cans off the highway! Grrrr
Given the Windy Season in Scotland... you're damn lucky you're not picking up roof shingles and window shutters :oops:
Make sure it’s after mosquito and “no-see-um” season. They are nasty. They will drive moose into the lake to get away from them.
WTAF... what the hell is this now? When do I need to avoid Ohio and all of the Eastern Seaboard?!?
Coffee... and a magic shillelagh because that walking stick is standing on its own :oops:
What leftovers.... they eat everything including femurs and teeth
Oooh... are they trainable so you can have them in your home? ...um, asking for a friend :whistle:
Crunching femurs is one thing, but the teeth are hard on their tiny digestive tracts.
I was 🤏 close to searching "how to dispose of teeth so there's no trace". One of these days, my search history alone is gonna be used to solve every open murder in the tri-state area. :rolleyes: 🤭
Wat's NP lets him have untainted coffee before a fasting lab.
Mine used to but changed the rules a few years back. Now it's either water only or nothing after midnight depending on the test. 🤷‍♀️
When I cook on the stove or in the oven I make much more food than needed.
For this reason -
I use a toaster oven and bought smaller pots and oven pans. Make less, eat less.
In summer I beg for winter mostly because there are no bugs in winter.

Mom came home one afternoon after a round of golf with friends. She complained about a cloud of no-see-ums. Said her hands were itchy and was worried about her rings.
Me: Take your rings off now. It's now or wait and have them cut off.
Also me: Here... take a Benadryl (diphenhydramine)... it will help with the itch and swelling. It's an over the counter (OTC) antihistamine for allergic reactions.

An hour later... mom says she needs me to take her to the ER. Her hands are worse.

ER doc: did you take anything for the reaction before you came in? like Benadryl or Allegra?
Mom: No
Me: 🙄🫤😶🫥
Also Me: So, you never took the Benadryl I gave you?

Guess who paid beaucoup bucks to take a Benadryl?
Moms... amiright? :rolleyes:
She says the plumber texterized her back and is coming at 0900 to unfuck his atrocity.
On his own dime I hope? 🤨
