"TBird" wrote in message nk.net... TBird --- has been known to scream and run from moths "badwilson" wrote in message ... Yay! Another mothophobe! Welcome sister :-) Now that TJ has disappeared, we mothophobes have to stick together! -- Britta Oh good GOD yes! Mothophobe! They are so insane and erratic and all that dust and ARGH.... Every 10-15 years or so Colorado gets and infestation of Miller Moths and it's a damn miracle I lived through one. The doors to the building where I worked were alive with swarms of the damn things. I would sit in my car and shudder, trying to steel myself for the mad dash out of the car and through the moths to get into the building. It was three weeks of pure hell for me. I will have nightmares for weeks imagining the pure hell you must have endured. Shudder. I think I would have died...that or left town anyways ;-) Somehow, we had none in my apartment. Whew! At least there's that. And I will NEVER own a blue Spruce tree, they love the things. My inlaws had one next to their driveway. As soon as we slammed the car doors, the tree would come alive with moths. Good to know, I'll try to remember that. That same year they were so bad cats were getting sicking from "kitty potato chip" overload. And one flew into some old geezers ear (there's a nightmare for ya) and the doctor had to pull it out with tweezers. But as soon as he let it go, it flew RIGHT BACK INTO THE GUYS EAR!!!! Good gawd! I would go insane and turn into a babbling idiot if that happened to me. I might not be able to recover. I swore I am leaving town the next time they swarm like that. Or I simply won't live through it. Yes, I can see that. Purrs that you won't get another swarm. When Dennis and I went to Australia to get married, almost 9 years ago, we were both unemployed and so we stayed at backpacker hostels. This one place had this shared bathroom and there was this huge moth on the wall. It had a wingspan of at least 6 inches. I was too terrified to go in there and ended up sneaking into the men's room to pee and showered in my bathing suit by the pool instead. Thank goodness we only stayed there 2 nights. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Sorry, I actually like them. Tweed |

I wonder where that picture went? -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. |
