Re: such a long fight

Hi Willow.......What worries me the most is that the things seem to be in the yard also. We know our 6 birdfeeders were really covered in what ever this nightmare "bug" is. My husband told me that when he was a young boy the entire city had a bad case of mange mites. Everyone's dog had it and the doctors and all the old timers told his family that it would take two solid years for the mites to die out in the yard. They couldn't have a cat or dog while waiting for this die-off to happen. Well, this will be our second winter without our little animals. I'm praying that this season will be the last of the things. Willow, we just had too many birds here. Our yard was registered with the National Wildlife Federation and we had all sorts of birds. The local schools would bring their classroom students and they would crouch in my yard and wait just to see the different kind of birds, butterflies and bees that came here. I miss it all so much and the songs that we heard the birds singing all through the day is something that a long to hear again. I was one of those people who felt that we shouldn't have to drive for hours to see nature......I guess it's like that old saying....."No good deed goes unpunished"..............ugh, I know we are all guessing and working our buns off trying to reach the end to this nightmare........I pray for all of us............We have it coming and going here so maybe the end is in sight.......it's such a wearisome fight.

biting at night> > > Hey folks last night I had a really rough time sleeping. I have been using and new bed time protocol and it seems to be helping. I first take a shower. Then right after that I spray a borax h2o2 water mix on and let it dry. then I put olive oil " with a little neem,orange clove mix in there" on top of that. But last night after about 5 min of laying down I could feel them start to move around and bite. It's driving me bleeping crazy. i can't sleep for shit when this is going on and I am not sure what to do? Before I started this program if this happened I would spray myself with kleen green or bug arrest and that would help. But now with this stuff on I don't want to do that cause it might wash the borax oil mix off. It seems like no matter what I do I will have a few OK nights then a real bad one. I used to use Vick's all over my body but wow that stuff make you cold. I just lay under the blanket and shiver for a hour. So I was wondering what you guys and gals do when this happens when your trying to go to bed? And what is your bed time get some sleep routine? At this point I am just going to start taking a lot of sleep meds so I can get some sleep because if i don't get any sleep It ruins my day.> thanks > Tommy>
