It is fall. Ah, fall. The air gets cooler and BUGS DIE BY THE TRUCKLOAD! Bwahahaha! Good riddance to them all!

Thanks for the heebie jeebie bug thread...now I can't stop itching. Although here in FLORIDA I have tons of creatures and as the single mom, I have to rid them from their existence....I put on a big brave face for the kids and handle them and gators and snakes and toads bigger than my fist. Sometimes I miss the deer walking in my back yard in Pennsylvania, but I do not miss the snow.

Yuck! I haven't seen heaps of centipedes in my life, but I've seen a few. They're always really big and nasty-looking. They look something like this:

Keep your distance, sister.
I just dropped my phone.
I did that odd little "l think there's a bug on me, and l'm in panic mode" dance , when l saw this pic.
If there was ever a bug that they could prove is from the pits of hell, this would be it.
Unreal.

I have bugphobia. Well, if the critter has more than four legs, I'm skeeving!
I also am using a computer screen that's about 19 inches wide, (just clarifying, in case anyone is looking at that centipede on a mere handheld device, so it looks a lot smaller. lol) I was walking up the steps one night when one that size was at eye level on the wall. It wasn't phased by my girly-girl screech as a dashed to the bathroom to pick up my handy-dandy bug killing spray. I most certainly didn't want to use my shoe because of the splat mark (and possible hole in the wall, since I truly freak when I see a bug.) So I sprayed, and sprayed and sprayed, until it fell down and curled up. I don't want to mention how many years ago this was, but have you ever seen the grease mark left by a 'fro on a bus window? (And I had such a 'fro when I was young, so that's where I notice that mark left. lol) Yeah, it looks like that on the wall still!

Yeah, well you're from down and under where all bugs, reptiles and even a few furry creatures are poisonous. (That photo looks like it's prehistoric.Yuck! I haven't seen heaps of centipedes in my life, but I've seen a few. They're always really big and nasty-looking. They look something like this:

We're from North American where we can count on one hand the poisonous ones. They're just creepy to us -- not so much dangerous most the time. lol

Just NO! And I thought poking a stick at a branch in the path, only to have the branch slither away, and I am left realizing I was just poking a copperhead was the worst thing possible. (My little five year old brother and our beagle almost stepped on it, so I had to pull both back.)
Please! Just no! I am never ever leaving North America ever again. lol

If the gators' mouth can't swallow my fist, I can deal with them. If the snake isn't a rattler or copperhead (we've got no moccasins around here), no problem. Toads? I like to play with them. Bullfrogs? PLEASE! I haven't had frog legs in years.
BUT one palmetto bug? I'm in Texas before I get that first heebeegeebee scream out of my throat. It's your FLYING roaches that keeps me away from Florida! Not your reptiles.

I so want blue and purples hair. Unfortunately, coloring hair those shades wasn't even conceived of when I was young, and a blue and purple 59 year old frumpy woman just doesn't make quite the right statement. lolYes lol

Three days ago, I had an itch on my neck. When I scratched, I pulled off a little light green goopy something. When I touched again, I pulled the rest off. I think I killed a spider judging by leg count. I itched all over for the next two days.
Just saw a gnat yesterday, (yes ALL insects I fear lol), and I'm back to itching all over again.
I'm not sure why, but this thread doesn't seem to be helping.

I've done temporary colors, on the weekend. You can get temporary color hair chalk and spray at target or walgreens ...I've done teal, blue, and purple. Washes right out! Just something fun to play with

I live in a rowhome, so when I say "my neighbors' yards" within 50 feet of me, I have seven "neighbors' yards." And, unless it rains, I have to go out and water the garden, so that gives the possibility of 16 people looking and laughing. More if their kids and grandkids come over to visit.
It's just completely different at my age. lol
(I also wish I was younger to try skateboarding new style. Back in my day it required a hill with the only trick being going down it without falling off. lol)
