After paying some tribute to God, I swatted the one mosquito in my room with my Bible, guess what, no stain whatsoever!

I HATE mosquitos with a passion. Just the other day, I was outside less than 10 minutes, and got hit 7 times. I always attract a ton of them, and always have since I was little. I attract all kinds of bugs; I get swarmed by gnats every time I walk outside. Thanks for the link; I always wondered why I was more prone to attack than anyone I ever knew. Pretty much all of the risk factors listed I have. [img]graemlins/5bloodymurder.gif[/img]

Ever since I went on holiday to Sweden, my hate for mosquito's is over. It's a futile attempt to kill every single mosquito in Scandinavia, so I soon gave up. Before that, if there was but one mosquito in my room, I couldn't sleep. I still don't like the buggers, but I care less nowadays.

I'm not quite sure if I undersood correctly, but I've heard that losing blood is healthy. That the heart makes newer, cleaner blood to make up for the lost quantity. Does that mean that getting bitten by mosquitos is healthy? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

They like me quite well and I can't stand them! ouch...always end up scratching and itching....but I usually use a bug repellant and we keep citronella candles on the patio so it's not to bad lately.

I get quite a few mosquitoes swarming around in the summers. Ive convinced myself that its not that bad: if female mosquitoes are attracted to me, human females must be too

Umm...Raistlin? That'd only be a good comparison if the 'human' females were vampires! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

It's interesting to note that only the female mosquito bites, the males don't. Very similiar to the humans.

HAHA! Well, not for the same reasons, though.

HAHA! Well, not for the same reasons, though. [/QUOTE]I thought it was because the females are viscous, blood sucking, bi*&@es while the males easy going and laid back.
