OUTLAW DIFFERENT COUNTRY! WOOOO

Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.

Yikes! I had no idea about the immunoglobulin. It’s better than the alternative, but I hope you never have to go through that again.

According to the CDC, it’s four doses, preferably in the arm, over a two week period. I think I remember reading about someone who worked at a rescue or rehab that had to get several shots in the shin, around the bite site, but I don’t remember why.

Even if they knew someone who died, they insisted it wasn’t covid, even to the point of keeping it off death certificates.

Definitely take a break! That’s about the spot where most people struggle to get through. Take your time; there’s a lot of setup, but the pacing is not great.

Also, I think book 8 is The One Without Mat, so it took me forever to get through it.

We do have “poultry” as a catch-all for domestic birds. Not exactly the same as beef/cow, but definitely has a Norman connection.

Normally, I would recommend citronella, either the grass or the candles, but I believe it is toxic to dogs.

I believe lavender, catnip and basil are safe, but they’re all mints and may try to take over your garden or yard. They all grow very well in pots though.

You can also try setting a trap. Put out some soapy water. The females are the ones biting you and they need water to lay eggs. They’ll fall in the water and the soap prevents them from escaping. I haven’t actually tried this with mosquitos, just other pests, but I have friends who swear by it.

I spin yarn! I have a normal spinning wheel and a small electric, but I prefer spindles. I’ve just recently worked up the guts to finally touch some of my more luxurious fiber. It’s really nice because I can sit down and watch a movie or listen to podcasts and not have to pay attention to my hands and if I get tired of sitting, I can easily walk around with it. I haven’t actually knitted (or crocheted) with any of the yarn I’ve made, but I swear I will, just as soon as I find the perfect pattern.

It’s not an expensive hobby to get into either. You can buy a cheap Turkish spindle and some decent wool for under $30 USD or you can even make a drop spindle with a CD and a dowel.

If there’s a makerspace in your area, they might have a woodworking workshop.
