@OneOfMany I cannot stand mosquitoes, they are worse than the hornets. At least I can see a hornet and kill it.

@LadyDuck I kill off the hornets too. I seem to get stung by them once a year.

I'm sure if people heard the buzzing and nothing else, they'd go crazy.
I'm sure there is some sadistic person out there that made a music file with only that sound.

The best part of snow and ice? When it goes away.

@OneOfMany -- I always had to wipe their paws off when they came in out of the snow.

But then it makes everything muddy for a while. And then you have to wipe the feet of pets whenever they come inside. For several months. :P

@FourWalls Usually if it is ice and really cold snow, there is no need to do that for our dogs. :P

Sticky sweat, awful stink, people whining about my pale skin, but yes, mosquitoes win!

I had a large horse fly chowing down on me last year. It found a spot I couldn't feel and bit me. When my cousin smacked it, there was blood everywhere.

I don't think we have horse flies over here.

@sabtraversa They are large. And they have mouths like scissors. The whole point is to slash your skin and get to the blood. XD

Yes, at one time, this place was under a mile thick sheet of ice. As such, people that live here can expect it to be cold.

@Courage7 Although, heating a house is more expensive in the long run. It is nice to grow vegetables during the summer.

That sounds bad. I have greater pain too, but it's because I'm inside more than out.

Mosquitoes don't like cold!

Yes, mosquitoes generally dislike being frozen in ice.

Most people would rather have it warm. Still, it supplies a good when people say: "There's nothing good about the winter!"

I have one of those rare blood types that bugs don't like. Hardly ever do I get bitten. I can say with certainty that I have never been bitten by a bedbug, even in an infested apartment building. I found out recently that there is an abnormal protein in my blood. Maybe bugs can sense it and stay away from me.
I'm certainly not complaining. :-)

That's certainly interesting. They love my blood. It looks like fruit punch, so that must be why!
