Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I know he'll be alright really. Peter will tell you that I always try to find out all the ins and outs of places ahead of time - and I've always been a worrier. You can imagine how I felt when my daughter telephoned to say she was off to America to meet someone she'd been playing games with on the internet! She had a lovely time. Peter would have liked to come and see you. This visit was a surprise really as a friend is getting married. If he wasn't nearing the end of his course he probably would have planned to stay longer and travel further afield. If ever I can afford to travel that far we'd loe to come to see you.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 He's going to NC also and half that state is swamp <g> And I asked if he was staying in the city or not. I mean, didn't someone say he was into hiking? As to DC, well, in that case, I forgot to warn her it is the two-legged critters that are poisonous!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 The mosquitoes are a problem this time of year. It is muggy where he is going and muggy equals mosquito heaven. In the country is where you find the snakes and scorpions. Some parks also. The spiders have specific likes and dislikes.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 i'll clean the couch off.... damn..you'd prolly have tied me to a tree as a wee fraggle nuthin like being a teen..in a cornfield in nebraska..wonderin why no one wants to pick me up as i hitch hiked...as i poked at my red mohawk with a cornstalk.... Jo Cwazy <heartwork Aug 13, 2005 2:54 PM Re: Poisonous insects I know he'll be alright really. Peter will tell you that I always try to find out all the ins and outs of places ahead of time - and I've always been a worrier. You can imagine how I felt when my daughter telephoned to say she was off to America to meet someone she'd been playing games with on the internet! She had a lovely time. Peter would have liked to come and see you. This visit was a surprise really as a friend is getting married. If he wasn't nearing the end of his course he probably would have planned to stay longer and travel further afield. If ever I can afford to travel that far we'd loe to come to see you.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Why darlin, why ever would I want repellent. I want to talk to one! What we need up here is mountain lion, coyote, bear, bobcat and fox repellent! Those walk right up on the deck. Well, actually, other folks want that. I talk to the critters. What I don't like is those blooming pine beetles. Big (4-6 " long 2-3 " across), dumb, ugly things.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 DH has sisters in NC, I have friends there. They live in the cities and the spiders are a seen there. Could be that is why Channel 3 in Wilmington ran a story on them http://www.wwaytv3.com/global/story.asp?s=1230622 As a mummy myself, I always liked the old saying " better safe than sorry " when sending the kidlets off to the wilds of where ever.
