Bad News:   I got bit by three mosquitoes tonight.
Good News:   I got bit by three mosquitoes tonight.

 :rofl;  You see, I haven't been bit my a mosquito for about two years due to what I suspect has been "toxin buildup" in my body.  They just simply passed me by and bit everyone around me.  Now, at least I know I'm toxin free!   :clap;

Anyone else have Good News / Bad News?

I always think it's funny that folks get all panicky when they hear the whine of a mosquito, cuz that's the male making the noise, and the male only eats flower nectar.  It's when you hear absolutely nothing that you need to panic, cuz that's the female and she can only lay her eggs after a blood meal.  So, if you hear nothing, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!   :rofl;

Hubby told me that I should be happy when a mosquito bites me..... because it will be the last bite that mosquito will ever take, the toxins would kill it.
