Frontline For Humans

All pleasantries aside. It is now time for some rants. Okay, first of all, why do they have Frontline for dogs and cats and not humans? Lyme disease is all I hear about. I have to de-tick myself almost daily, despite the granules we spread around the park. These granules also control fleas and deter mosquitoes. Frontline does, too. So instead of spraying Deep Woods Off every time you go out, how about a once a month thing on our back like the dogs?

I ponder lots of things. Like why this old man is staring at my cleavage and attempting to flirt with me while my husband seems oblivious and leaves me here to deal with the old geezer. I wanted to give him a good shot of wasp spray. The old geezer, .... and maybe He Who is oblivious.

I finally have my laptop back. My son replaced my hard drive, but was unable to save anything on the old one. Lost all my pictures. He was supposed to show me about a cloud I could put them in. What if someone invades the cloud upon which I store my pictures and tries to steal it for their very own? I know, I know, that is not how this works. I am not like that woman on the commercial "posting" her photos with thumbtacks on the wall of her living room. Oh, no, I just dated myself ..... it is stick pins, not thumb tacks.

So, here I sit watching the rain fall, grateful for a brief respite from snocone duty. The pool paint did not cure properly and we are trying to drain it. The paint is getting on the kids in the pool ..... The voice of reason (that would be me) tried to tell He Who refuses to read instructions that this new paint he bought from a different vendor had a 5 day cure, as opposed to the 48 hour cure of the paints we had used before. Every year I start the nagging earlier and earlier and every year he refuses to hear what I say. One would think that he would have learned to listen to me.

I think perhaps I should be a chemist in my next life so I can come up with the Frontline of Tick Defense For Humans.
