Hold on.

It passed in a few minutes, just as you said.

I dare say, unless you are proficient in yoga walking on nail, you better not not try it at home.



However, you might turn them facing outside
Although, I believe it might stop some men from approaching you with unseemly thoughts, if they have enough imagination...

For the opposite effect this might work better:

The worst insects up North were the Noseeums I think they are called deer flies, little tiny buggers that would get in your mouth, ears, eyes and under your clothes if there was any gaps, or at night into your sleeping bag, just plain evil.

They look a little something like this:



Wish I could find one that shows the size better, but that are usually about an inch long (2.5cm) sometimes longer if your are up in the arctic areas in the summer.

I worked a couple of summers as a white water and backpack guide. those DAMN flies are PAINFUL!!!! we were typically in swimsuit tops and shorts on the water. those things would bite painfully sunburned arms and about the only relief was actually getting into the cold water.

no-seeums are no-seeums. the deer flies are a close cousin to the horse flies, just not quite as big and painful

I'm still on water.

I am sorry Mortis, my treasure
it's a system that has come in fashion in the last years. I think started in Switzerland. There is a machine.

And there is the stuff. This is what I use. I also use a deca, after 3 or 4 in the afternoon. what you would say p.m.

I love Nespresso! I also really like my dolce gusto. I use it to make Vanille Latte Macchiato, yum

Rooibos Cranberry Vanilla in my cup. It's ... meh

P.S. Had lots of fun at the party, but that glass of champagne went straight to my head

[ProfCrash]

2 pots of Rooibos Capetown
2 Pots of Lapsang Souchong
2 pots of Genmaicha (worm tea baby)

A very busy day at the office.

I am realizing that I like weird tea. I like the Pu-erh which is essentially made through composting and tea that has been described as worm tea. I love my greens that taste grassy. Is it any wonder that I enjoy car camping and hiking?
