Fly Spots and Awful Text Sent to Me

Tommy says he has never seen a fly spot. Have you? I was disgusted to find out what they are. This is one more reason to wipe the counters even when they don't look dirty. By the way, I call then fly specks. The article called them spots.

The man who collects food for five little girls will never get another call or food. He sent me a text: " I want b**bies and back rubs." It really unnerved me. Tommy said he was p*ssed. 

What are your thoughts on this guy?

Birds Gone and More About Dark Spot Reduction

 The birds are gone. I had not peeked at them for about weeks. I either forgot, felt too5 bad to go to that end of porch, or did not want to walk in wet grass. On Thursday, Tommy said he heard lots of birds in the planter. Finally, on Friday I decided to look. There was not a sign of a bird. The nest was empty. It was not disturbed. I guess they flew away. Now, I am sad there are no little furry peepers. 

Tommy tells me he sees hummingbirds on the flowers even though I put out no hummingbird feeders. 

I still feel awful from the first med or the second is having the same effect. I had things to do today. Nothing was done. We only left the house to get bananas. Tommy just told me he got up at 9 am to wake me since I said I wanted to go out. Then, when I indicated I did not, he came in and slept in his chair. He finally awoke after 2:30. He is feeling 'yucky' and does not feel like he can do anything. Hopefully, both of us will start feeling better.

Happily, the work week will be dry next week. There are things to do!--doctor lunch, car shopping, car selling 

At the store, besides bananas, he got more Cheerio bogo. Life bogo, Quaker's Old-Fashioned Oats bogo, and Fritos, Betty Crocker Brownie Mix bogo.  

Rain was somewhere close by our neighborhood. Flies were sticking. And, it takes Tommy so long to get inside that he lets flies inside. I do not blame him for how long it takes. Then, he cannot shoo them back out because he has both hands on the walker. No blame there either. However, then he chopped met and cooked it. Good! Then, two hours later the meat was sitting to 'cool' with flies landing on everything around me. He and meat were in the kitchen with flies. I was furious, but he said it had to cool. 

I was going to make spaghetti, but not with that meat. It is his. He is putting out another package for spaghetti. It seems he has no concept of sanitary!

I wanted tuna salad anyway, so I made and ate that while he was cooking meat. I will eat chicken breast, and he can eat the fly infested ground beef. He is okay with that. 

This new bed has developed a hole in the center that interferes with sleep! It has to go. It also made my knee hurt last night after weeks of not hurting. 

This popped up after I wrote about dark spots. The Safest and Most Effective Ways to Get Rid of Dark Spots (msn.com) Lots of these treatments I have never heard of. There is information for darker skin. 

Do you think it is necessary to leave meat out two hours to let it cool? 

Problems Solved

This summer, I have been stymied by where all the mosquitoes were coming into the house. Today, while holding for a call, my eyes sort of glazed over and I stared into the distance. I focused and saw it--the window was open over a half inch! And, that screen does not fit well unless I push it on tightly. I don't remember opening the window, so it must have been Spring when a breeze inside would not be humid and mosquito- and fly-filled.

That could also explain why it has seemed like the ac was not cooling or removing humidity! GAH!

The LED light on the back porch solved another problem--all the bugs drawn to light that come indoors when I open the door at night as I come or go are mostly a thing of the past. At first, I did not notice the lack of hundreds of flying insects. Then, one night, I wondered where all the bugs were. Since this light stays on all the time, I know I am saving money, too.

There are also fewer insects attracted to the lamp nearest me. Thank you, LED. With the window open and the screen so loose, more insects than normal came in.

I found LED lights for about $2 at Lowe's and bought a few.

Have you tried LED lights and noticed fewer insects are drawn to them at outdoor light fixtures?
