Would you be open to a link and pictures only thread on the topic? No conversation.
Loaded with seed. Picking hundreds daily. I have a couple/ few thousand now.
Foggy head, headache and clogged ears/ tinnitus. It usually comes back after 10 days for a milder round two. Hasn’t effected my energy levels this time

I’m happy to see you kicking it again @Upstate. You made my morning. I was a little bummed out the last couple days thinking about how much I would miss reading your threads if you left.

Good to read you again @Upstate.!!
Beware of ticks, there are some that can spread “lyme” and other diseases.
Here we have plenty of them, it is a rural zone and when I went to walk the forests with my dog always came home with lot of not wanted visitors!. The dog and me.
I hate them.

I still have the tick in a ziplock. . I thoroughly squished it after I got bit. I looked at it yesterday and it’s walking around like arnold schwarzenegger. I don’t know how on earth it’s alive after two weeks in a ziplock

Yikes! Little bastard, I think you are supposed to freeze them, that’s what they told me anyway. I’m a hardcore fisherman and get these little pricks often. They give me the heebs big time! EVERYTIME I see one or pick one off I’m all itchy and worried for days. Things are disgusting little bastards, my old boss had Lyme disease and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone she’s ALWAYS sick , ALWAYS.

It really doesn’t help that the city has become very lax about mowing public spaces, medians, etc.

I burn them with a lighter, works every time and it only takes a flash I think 120F kills em just a guess but it’s close probably no more than 140F

I have neighbors with Guinea Hens who browse through my lawn daily, it’s been keeping the tick numbers low this year which is good because I haven’t seen the resident opossum lately.

I had that happen to me in north carolina. The little bastards can fly like flying squirrels. The closest pine trees were about seventy feet tall and nearly a hundred yards away. I watched one land on me from up high. Creepy.
I wanted it to suffer.

It’s what I regret most from the last time I got the bullseye mark. I did not catch and punish the little bastard. I wanted retribution!

If you want that in the first post of the thread, fairly sure it has to be a mod or TL4. You could set up your own in a random post, but it’d quickly get buried, so probably better to tag them in imo.
I wish this were even close to part of the mainstream political discussion on either side… more about trying to figure out ways to control the plant, and us, right now. 
The internet makes it entirely too easy to hear the loudest, most extreme and most offensive voices on each side. Hopefully one day we’ll get to the point of rational, common-sense solutions like this. Until then, thank you for doing God’s work.
