    100 Chigger bites Teaching Awareness

    Adams Rubble: experiences are the beginning place for explorations of time and space
    Adams Rubble: and awareness
    Riddle Sideways: from such a small insect bite comes awareness
    Riddle Sideways: like that attitude
    Adams Rubble: 100 bites
    Adams Rubble: not your average insect
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: nothing to do, but count them all
    Adams Rubble: they work like fracking
    Adams Rubble: in a way

    Adams Rubble: braniac shrugs :I have no idea what to do"
    Adams Rubble: "don't you have access to Google?"
    Adams Rubble: "Duh, never thought of that"
    Riddle Sideways: ㋡
    Adams Rubble: "Well get searching"
    Adams Rubble: "Google not much help but can at least work at stopping the onslaught"\
    Adams Rubble: "No more bites would be a start"
    Adams Rubble: "You'll have to do the rest on your own"
    Riddle Sideways: as long as the cure is not worse
    Adams Rubble: "We're going to keep yelling for help though"
    Riddle Sideways: brainiac is listening
    Adams Rubble: Chiggers: "You are a terrible cruel brainiac"
    Adams Rubble: "Just go away"
    Adams Rubble: Cats: "Why are you yelling every time I brush my tail against your legs?"
    Riddle Sideways: just trying to help
    Riddle Sideways: cats get flees, ticks and chiggers
    Adams Rubble: I was wondering if they would spread to the cats
    Riddle Sideways: don't know enough about chiggers
    Adams Rubble: I have much to learn; they are new to the neighborhood

    Adams Rubble: a deer
    Riddle Sideways: a bus stop, a cat stop, a deer stop
    Riddle Sideways: waiting for dear
    Riddle Sideways: learned long ago that mosquitoes have the chemical that makes the itch to help break the skin for the drill to go in easier. The drill, suck and remove the chemical. If you let them finish the itch is not so bad
    Riddle Sideways: swatting them during drinking creates the inflection
    Adams Rubble: the theory works better than the actuality :)
    Riddle Sideways: worked in personal tests
    Adams Rubble: You do not feel it at the time but itches just as much later
    Riddle Sideways: what worked better, was moving to a place that does not have mosquitoes
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: 4 out of 5 people had fewer mosquito bits when they moved to a place without mosquituoes
    Riddle Sideways: love facts and figures
    Riddle Sideways: science to the rescue
    Adams Rubble: as long as the statistics are not made up

    Riddle Sideways: yep, it is not just Your world
    Adams Rubble: The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world.
