    Yeah, I love walking through the woods, brushing up against some fauna and having the whole colony relocated onto my leg. I have an outfit I soak in Sawyer's and I know when I need to soak again by how long it takes the seed ticks to bail off. Nasty little devils.

    I too tried this route once, totally failed. My wife cant answer a simple question without a bunch of um's and long pauses. Freaking drives me nuts.

    The deer ticks are out before the snow is completely melted.

    Found a tick on my dog about 10 days ago. She got treated that day. She's had Lymes once-that is enough.

    So what you are really saying is that you miss the salon being open. You get a whole body wax to get rid of "ticks".

    that is most definitely true- the WI property I hunt gets a hard pass from mid-April through July 4 if at all possible. Infested with the buggers. We've even had them on us in March if there's a warm spell.

    Wow there are some rookies wives here. That happen in my house, and it has, the following would happen... Your not talking to one of your guys so get your own F ing shears and stuff them up your Fing arse. As far as the dryer I am more than capable of taking my clothes to the laundry mat or hanging them out to dry...hope you are as well. BTW, figure out what your next dinner or two will be.

    I have been married a long time, my wife and I rarely argue. Her "look" does not work anymore, yelling just stop. Things change, and you can get away with saying things you would not have in the past when you aren't trying to get laid.

    sons dog got two ticks attached by April 1. He finally talks the better half in allowing a collar. She was abainst it because of the boys contact with her. But they trained the boys to avoid the collar.

    she's a soldier (literally) and she talks that way as well.
    She just ought to know by now that when I am in the middle of a repair job and I ask for something; it's needed and RFN. If I had the time/freedom to explain why; I would've gotten it myself and saved myself the cold shoulder for 3 days.

    LOL...she's more patient than me. One year I went turkey hunting. Biggest Tom of my life finally breaks and comes to my call . As he gets to me my phone starts buzzing in my pocket. Well they have dang good hearing because he was gone in a flash!...I check and call back. Hubby answers . Me, what the hell do you want! Him just wondering what your doing. WTH! It's Saturday and 6a.m. What do you think I'm doing out here?! I'm planning what I'm NOT MAKING YOU FOR DINNER....click I don't know what he made himself to eat, didn't care. He never did that again.

    That is a great idea, nice time she cooks dinner and pisses me off I will come in the house and make a PB & J for supper. I will be waiting for a while she rarely cooks.:lol:

    If I have seed ticks and a whole body wax will get them off then I wouldn’t think twice about it. An hour of pain to prevent 2 weeks of torture is a price I am willing to pay.

    My dog got Lymes about 5 years ago. He couldn't lift his head or get up without yelping in pain. I thought it was miraculous that half an hour after getting a shot at the Vets he was acting as if nothing had ever been wrong.

    Now that I live in tick country I start treating the dogs around March 1st or as soon as I see one on me or the dogs. My dogs are easy to see the ticks. They both have shorter single coats of hair and their blondish color makes the ticks easy to spot. Since I have been doing this I have not had to pull an attached tick off of either dog.

    I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
    I keep my pants tied up with binder twine.

    Because your mine... I cut the twine.

    What happened to the days of people having some pride in their work? At least having a semblance of "give a damn"..... its maddening!!!
