Landed on me in a frenzy and jabbed it's wonderful rear end at a rate of about 50 miles an hour into my arm. He's well and truly 'Harry and Ned' now though little b.....d! Good job I take antihistamin daily!! |

Hood as it has an boardwalk around the outisde of the Lake, and it's an good an dpleasant couple miles walking, we got nearly to the end of it, and there was an yellowjacket next under the boardwalk, they came up at my hubby, the dog, and myself...he took off with the dig to get away from them, and I backed off another eay, it was an very good thing for some reason I had that day decided to try out some new thick jogging tights under my shorts, with socks around the ankles. Plus I was wearing and hooded sweatshirt. When we got back to the car an dI peeled off those tights, bees were stuck in them all over, but they were thick enough I never got stung.Dog got it once int he nose, and hubby an couple times, but not badly. I looked at hubby and said, well, we won't have to worry about arthurtis this winter...as they use bee ventom for helping to ease the pain of arthurtis. Can't say I've been back there since then though. Lovely huge Lake too! I have all kinds of baby bees out on the mint herbals I grow now, as it went into blooming recently, light purple..but they don't seem to bother us. |

Thinking about getting an new keyboard also, see if it helps any. We took the TV in and it did nothing wrong while in the shop...they gave it back to us, with no repair charges either.. today it's blinking off as fast as I can turn it on. |
