    Why do bad illnesses tend to strike on weekends (and usually at night)?

    The same reason pet injuries tend to happen at, say, 11:30 on a Monday night*, or 8 a.m. on a Sunday ...

    *that's the time it was when Miss Hoppy broke her leg so badly as a baby bunny ...

    I have always been amazed that after hours of driving on the interstate, with the windows up, all of a sudden you are being buzzed by a fly. Where did it come from. Once it starts buzzing, you can't get it out even with all the windows down.

    It's mid-November, it's 45 degrees outside ... and ... there's a fly buzzing around the window across from my desk?! How did it get in?

    And speaking of flies, etc., how come a wasp stung me in November?! I was frying bacon and felt the sting but thought it was a bacon grease burn but I looked at my arm and there the little bugger was; he stung through my sweater and my Tshirt. I'm glad that he got me and not one of the Fur Posse, though, especially Yodie.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Speaking of flies.....

    There are a couple in the house that are driving me crazy, and I can't get rid of them.

    Why do flies disappear as soon as you pick up the fly swatter????

    EXACTLY! Do they know what it's for?
    *Some people come into your life and quickly go, but some leave footprints on your heart and you are never the same*
    *We only fall so we can learn to pick ourselves back up*
    *Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take but by those that take our breath away*
    *Life is made of millions of moments, but we live only one of these at a time. As we begin to change this moment we begin to change our lives*

    I had a HUGE wasp appear on my dashboard one day. It flew in the back of the car, I opened all 4 windows. it buzzed at the top of one of the OPEN windows, decided to fly back in front and crawl into my air vent. All while I'm driving. Three days later, it's back at the window, which I opened, of course. No luck. And I'm zooming down the turnpike. I finally stopped at a gas station, windows open, no wind, and it flew out. It was so strange (and dangerous)
