Oh you guys I am in misery. I don't know if this is an appropriate question for this forum but I'm starting to feel like I'll never get my gardening done. I am one of "those" people. One of those people who attract mosquitos like flowers attract bees...like honey attracts ants...like...well you get the picture.

True story: One time while camping with friends I was being eaten alive. No one else was bothered in the slightest, but I was slathering on the Off like it was body lotion. I washed my hands to eat supper and forgot to re-apply. Don't you know the next morning I had bites all over the PALMS of my hands? And my family (jokingly) tries to use me as "bait". If one of them hears a mosquito buzz they'll ask me to move to the other side of the area so that everyone else will be left in peace.

I had to cry "uncle" today. After 3 solid days of much need rain the skeeters are fierce out there. Despite the heat I had donned long sleaves and jeans and covered myself with Cutters all to no availe. I have bites on my eyebrows, inside my ears and all over my thighs and rear. Argh! Does anybody have a sure fire way to keep these pests at bey? Somebody? Anybody? S.O.S! LOL.

Thanks (if for nothing else than listening to me whine),
La
