The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

Oh, how I loathe these critters. Anyone share my sentiments?

A restaurant we have here in town has all kinds of signs painted on the walls and ceiling. One of them says:
If NOAH had been trully wise, he would have swatted those 2 mosquitoes!

Yes, if my husband and family are in the backyard, and there are mosquitoes around I am the one who gets bit.

I started using off repellant a couple of years ago. But put it on my clothes not my skin. It does see to help!

Oh, I can't believe you all hate mosquitos so much! I usually get a few each year for pets. I name them, walk them, teach them to do tricks. I also train them to do things to help out around the house like picking up the sticks in the yard, taking out the garbage, weeding the flowers, washing windows, etc. Our mosquitos are pretty big. LOLOLOL Just kidding, if I named them I'd name them things I don't like just to enjoy smushing them even more. What???? did you think I was nuts or something? LOL

During "this" season, I can walk outside and all the mosquitoes start racing toward me yelling, "YUMMY!!"

As I squish them I say- God isn't going to miss one little bug. This also works for spiders and snakes.
