Thursday Thirteen #55
13 Irritants in Creekistan- No-see-ums - those stupid little bugs that bite your ankles. Just as their name says, they are invisible.
- Bald-faced Hornets - not something you want to see, let alone be stung by. I got stung a year ago and I thought I was going to die.
- Dog Slobber
- Road Kill Stink Ballons - For example: a dead raccoon rotting in the son on the side of the road. Just ready to pop!
- Ticks - Need I say more? They are really bad this year.
- Drunks on 4-Wheelers - Driving on the road and littering.
- Pollen Clouds - trees this time of year drop so much pollen that you need a car wash every other day.
- Snakes - It's not the snake that you know, it's the one that you DON'T know.
- Sunburns - Or should I say, Farmers Tan.
- Humidity - Sometimes it's like trying to breathe underwater. I really think dry heat is better.
- People who run over turtles - poor things are just trying to cross the street.
- Bug Bites That Won't Stop Itching
- Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac/Stinging Nettles/Brambles/Burrs - and other irritating flora.
I am a freak of nature, I love humidity :P Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like my home town. OMG I hate ticks.
ReplyDeleteyep, I hate nature, so I hate most of this stuff. No See Ums really are awful
ReplyDeleteThe ticks are really really bad this year. I'm over it already and it's only just begun.
ReplyDeletere: #11 - karma's a bitch, people!
ReplyDeleteAh, I COULD have written this. We also have deer flies. They bite!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the bug bites.

I thought I had it bad over here in Wiltshire (England) with the cow dung and the bugs- at least i don't get the heat!
ReplyDeleteJust started this TT thing and I'm enjoying it so far- I love your Blog especially- a life so different from mine yet you sound the same :)
Oh the Noseeums are awful here, too as is the humidity. Some of these things I have not heard of...but some just sound like HOME.
