She is a bit perplexed this morning — and not amused by it. It seems that He, despite his two years in Hawaii is content to sleep without covers on these 50 degree nights, while She, after ten years in Vegas then two years in Hawaii, is bundled under the covers from her nose to her toes. Given that She was swaddled from head to toe and He wore only a scrap of cloth, She wants to know why she woke covered in mosquito bites this morning, and he has nary a one!
She wants to have a serious talk with Mother Nature. He is perfectly content with the status quo.
It’s because She is so sweet and He obviously is not tasty.

Nessa — She’s not feeling too sweet about all this!
Mosquitos know nothing of justice. And they might like females. I’ve had occasion to celebrate the same cruelty.
Well, I have been informed that Amoebas do not have blood …..
Oh…it is opposite here, except I get all the mosquito bites. We have screens on the windows and doors. I can’t imagine living somewhere you wouldn’t need them.
My hubby is cold most of the time. I thought when he went to the doc and found his thyroid was not working properly and got a rx it would change, but not so much really.
Right now we can’t even imagine 57 degree weather….it is going to be another over 100 day for us.
amberstar’s last blog post..Stealing from Thom
Amber — believe me the screens are needed, but this is a very nice (though not elegant) fully furnished (dishes, linens, etc) 2 bedroom apartment that cost us about as much for a month’s rent as one night would have in the local 4 star hotel. So, I’m not going to gripe about the lack of screens — though I am going to grip about the mosquito bites!
50 degrees sounds so good right now. We’ve been in the 90s.
How odd that you got all the bites when you were covered up. You must just be tasty.
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Friday’s Fave Five
Barbara — Amoeba says it is estrogen — the female mosquitoes seek it out.
heh… it’s because mosquitos are attracted to the person who has the higher blood pressure… or is it the higher cholesterol… I can’t remember which… either way, it’s cause you have the nummier blood
Not blood pressure or cholesterol — estrogen. Females seeking females for an estrogen fix before laying their eggs.
I feel your pain, that could have been me
Nicole’s last blog post..All kinds of wonderful
Nicole — no offense, but my elbow, my shoulder and my knee wissh it was you!
It’s the good rich blood that does it! As for me, I can take the bite but not the annoying sound of a mosquito seeking me out. We’re enjoying heat-free, mozzie-free nights right now and, as one of your other orrespondents says, we have screens on our windows.
Brenda — rented windows sans screens. Alas. And today was beautiful with temos in the high 70s, but the previous two days it has rained!
Just because you are Special, this is why.

Bill — thank you.
It could be some kind of blanket bug and not a mosquito . You know , a bed bug.
Dr. John’s last blog post..Flash 55
Nope, Dr. John, they are annoying, buzzing insects. I think Amoeba uncovers me when I am asleep so they can bite me.
Just proof that mosquitoes are evil embodied, with wings. And that so many things are unfair where men are involved ! LOL
We have no mosquitoes. Even THEY don’t want to live here.
I hope you have a pleasanter sleep and sweet mosquito-less dreams tonight!
Susan at Stony River’s last blog post..Friday Flash 55 and Acts of Kindness
Susan, Thom sent me an email telling me to buy bug spray. Maybe I’ll wash the bedding in it …..
There appears to be no justice in this world at all!
Thumbelina’s last blog post..Friday Skies (Portuguese Style) – Skywatch
Thumbelina — I totally agree!
She needs to wear a to-the-chin and down-to-the-ankles flannel nightgown. Mosquitoes don’t like flannel.
Sally’s last blog post..Abused China Cabinet
Sally — either does she!
THIS happens to me about once every two years! HE sleeps in the buff. SHE sleeps wearing jammies. SHE wakes up with 200 skeeta bites on her fanny! HE gets notta! HOW does that happen??? I’m with ya Quilly…. A Mother Nature confrontation is in order!
Melli’s last blog post..FFF & FF55…
Melli — according to Amoeba, it is our estrogen that makes us the target, so I say lets start sneaking the stuff into the guy’s food ….. “Would you like some
estrogenerrr, buttermilk pancakes, dear?”Oh my mortal enemy the mosquito. Blood sucking freaks of nature. They’re the embodiment of evil. Their logic defies comprehension. (If you can resist that initial urge to scratch, they’ll go away much faster and itch a lot less. Believe me, I am an expert.
)
Cherie — Exactly! Vampires in training!
Maybe mosquitos in the southern hemisphere live in opposite land because it’s always my husband that gets eaten alive in our family!
Happy that I’m here? I’ve been kinda busy the last couple of days…what gathering mail, glasses going to the PO and then of course there is the always transfering hosts on one’s domain…As I said in the email…no need to reimburse…by MOSQUITO repellant
Thom’s last blog post..Saturday 9 – I Want You Back oh and I’m Back
Funny. I can’t sleep without covers. It could be a trillion degrees and I’d need covers. I recommend taking brewer’s yeast. Besides being good for you, it’s supposed to discourage mosquitos who don’t like the smell taste. I had read this and recommended it to a friend years back who was traveling to Bali. She said everyone else was covered in bites and she only got bitten the one day she forgot to take the brewer’s yeast.
