So since I have a pair of testicles, I know what it would feel like, so I can emphasize with John, I have empathy for him. You don't know what it would feel like to have your balls stung but you feel sorry for John so you have sympathy for him. Tomorrow I will explain laughing "at" someone and laughing "with" someone.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-24194195449094624072018-05-23T21:59:49.572-04:002018-05-23T21:59:49.572-04:00John were you in Scotland?

They land with determination like you can't believe, crawling up your nose, in your ears, down your shirt. You actually don't often feel them bite, but unlike a mosquito with its needle, these guys bite to make you bleed. They make a mess. Some people are allergic to the bite and it looks even worse. They hatch in running water and not stagnant pools like mosquitoes. Our only saviour is the black dragonflies that come in June. The horror!

Any other tips you can offer us?<br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br />I really love your blog.

This weekend is the beginning of the tourist season. Traffic will be awful, stores crowded.

Mosquito breeding grounds I tell ya! Also meat wasps and those tiny things that seem to fly as an annoying cloud. Gnats, probably. Do any of them go after hubby and the dogs (nice name for a doo wop group)? Nope! They zero in on me every single frickin' time! I don't hear them and I don't feel them bite, but I go home with massive, itchy red bumps every time. Bug repellent attracts them to me. I love camping too much to stay at home though.Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-85319834692571326142018-05-22T21:39:11.912-04:002018-05-22T21:39:11.912-04:00I've never heard of black flies.

I remember growing up in upstate NY when spring finally arrived, the black flies came too. They would crawl around your ears and buzz around your head. Then when they left, the mosquitos came.
