The beer hating comment came from the page before where someone said Mosquitos like people who drink beer.

I read somewhere that an unhealthy person exhales more carbon dioxide than a healthy person and that mosquito's are attracted to carbon dioxide.

I read a great article about that yesterday, but now can't find it. This one shares some reasons. Until yesterday, I had not known that smelly feet attract them. :D

Well it was hot and I was sweating up a storm so I'm sure I smelled like sweaty feet. I've also heard taking b vitamins helps deter Mosquitos too.

I always thought that it was sweat that attracts mosquitos. And, if you're diabetic, your sweat smells sweeter than healthy people.

Another thing I found interesting, is they like type "O" blood the best.

Well, there you go. The majority of the world's population have type O blood.

Eek I didn't know universal donor =s mosquitoes too. I guess not all Os aren't universal donors though, just the O negatives like me. I can't give blood though due to my blood pressure meds.
I never heard anything about what attracts mosquitoes.

I'm A+ and not diabetic, but still they love me. They love my dad and brother too so maybe I'm just genetically doomed. I know that usually growing up the first few bites of the season itched a ton and then I didn't really notice them but here every bite itches forever. Thanks histamines!

Really doesn't help that we're having a lot of rain and it's warm. Several places have put up "warning high mosquito levels" signs.

Omg Kerryann!! I forgot to tell you, when I was donating blood I told them about my new thyroid meds and they had to look it up but they did allow me to donate blood because they allow pig products but they do not allow anyone to donate if they take any medication that uses bovine by products. So if you have a medical alert bracelet I would add that you are allergic to pork products do they can run a Benadryl drip if you ever need a transfusion. I know that the kids always get Benadryl before an infusion so it might be something that they always do.

They probably flip out as I show that my Coors beer is kosher while taking a bite out of a bacon/cheeseburger violating two laws at once.

That's why I don't do blood. Besides, my sister got a weird male European disease by having a blood transfusion almost 40 years ago.

Cowboy, those laws only apply to Jews and Muslims. You're neither :p

After my heart problem i was in the hospital
Every other weekend or more getting blood transfusions. I learned some important things. If they can't get Big vein ask for an anesthesiologist because a transfusion into the Hand But if they won't do that oxy makes you not care. You may or may not puke on yourself think it's funny and be laughing while you strip down I'm front of your doctors. Good times : P

Just for fun, every now and then call your intern, “Monica"! Wait…that might be harassment, but it would be fun just the same.

It would be funnier cuz he's a man ;)

So all I wanted today was to squeeze in a pedicure because my toes are all naked. My day started running out the door at 8:30 because the guys who are re- finishing the wood floors at the old house showed up early. I get in my car and notice that the entire contents of my center console is on my driver seat and my glove box is emptied on the passenger floor. I was thinking maybe rob was looking for something when I noticed two pieces of plastic sticking on my windshield where my EZ pass usually is, I was robbed :(. All they got was my old Magellan GPS that I don't use anymore and my EZ pass that I do use so that was a bummer. I was the 4th call that morning within walking distance of my house.

So the police officer suggested that I get flood lights for the driveway if I am going to not park in the garage. ( super hot cop BTW!!!) big & muscly and all full of male protective concern.

So I moved lighting up on my list and called an electrician, the electrician came and said he could come on sat and get flood lights on the back deck and above garage but I need to get rid of the bees problem I have. Huh!!! Crow! I have a bee problem! Called exterminator they came out and said I gave a pretty bad bee problem but they will squeeze me in next day. They said they can make it so the bees won't come back on the house but the house will have to be resprayed every year because of all of my perennials along the house and in the yard. Next call landscape architect to come and rip out all gardens and just leave bushes. I barely have time to shower, so I am definitely not spending my free time gardening!! The bee spray alone cost's $400 & I'm not bathing my house in chemicals every year for some flowers!! So that was my frustrating day!!!
