Cheery Pics

That is a much better story from foreign fields than people telling you about their "Delhi Belly" or mosquito bite for hours on end.
 
My late husband, when he was in his early 30s, lived for several years in Costa Rica. For most of the rest of his life, he had a weird, sort of elongated lump on his arm. When he was in his mid 70s, the lump started to bother him, becoming red and itching/sore. The doctor couldn't figure out what it was, but decided it needed exploring, so sent him for outpatient surgery.
At the hospital, they removed a long dead larvae of some tropical beastie! Was about an inch long, and quite fat. No idea how it hadn't dissolved or disintegrated long before, or why, after 40 years, it suddenly became troublesome. Utterly gross! [emoji1785]

A friend who did two years VSO in Malawi entitled one of his emails "Iron the pants!" Apparently there was some horrible creature that laid it's eggs in newly washed clothes (can't remember how) and they would quickly hatch in warm conditions and burrow their way under your skin. The only way to ensure the eggs didn't hatch was to kill them by ironing your underpants with a hot iron, something I suspect very few people do. I know there are eccentrics who iron pants and socks etc, but not me.
 
:lol: :lol: Reminds me of all the folk tales where the faeries take the baby and leave a changeling!

Five kittens are much easier to cope with than five babies!!!!! Kittens manage to condense into about 8 weeks what humans take 2 years to do. They are still, at 3 weeks old, at the crawling sometimes trying to walk stage but they haven't managed to get out of the box - yet!
 
Do not taunt your doormat, especially if you're a woman. You might find yourself admitted to an asylum...

Plus they don't bring home a succession of weird boyfriends/girlfriends, and don't ask you to lend them money
 
The family Christmas card will be really something then. No need for matching sweaters :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I once worked with a guy who had one of these cars! Only it was the window - every time you closed the passenger door, the window fell onto your lap! And if it rained, the wipers were "manual" - tied with string fed through each window. The passenger had to use the strings to make the wipers go back and forth!
