The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

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.
Oh, no! 😱 Remind me not to go anywhere midges are in season. I get big welts from mosquitos! 🤯😱
 
This is probably what I have. It's rampant here in the west. My therapist said they were seeing it in the east now, too. 😤

I thought I would get on for a bit tonight to show proof of life. I'm still inhabited by most of the evil dwarves:

Snotty
Sneezy
Grumpy
Tired but can't sleepy
Fussy
Cranky
Coughy

I'm headed to bed. Will try again tomorrow to catch up. Love you guys! 💞✨💖
Oh Lili hugs from across the water get well soon

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

What's everyone else up to today?
Let's check in...

Oooh... brilliant!!
Just like that college bar called The Library
"I'm just going to The Library tonight, mom." :ROFLMAO:

Given the Windy Season in Scotland... you're damn lucky you're not picking up roof shingles and window shutters :oops:

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:

Oooh... are they trainable so you can have them in your home? ...um, asking for a friend :whistle:

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: 🤭

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. 🤷‍♀️

For this reason -
I use a toaster oven and bought smaller pots and oven pans. Make less, eat less.

Nominee: Out of Context Post 🏆

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:

On his own dime I hope? 🤨
My mom would do that. Call me for advice but then not follow it because she asked another of my siblings.

Sure, mom.

Follow their advice (no healthcare background), not what your advance practice nurse daughter with >30 years of experience suggested you do. 🙄😤
 
Good morning denizens of the diner. Another round of high winds and there are still 7000 folks without power. At least one death of a city worker clearing fallen tree limbs.

Thoughts of last nights comments: the thread reported extreme weather from too hot to cold and snow, high winds to blaring sunshine.

Stay safe spoonies!
