Gees Sue, can you beleive that fruit flies have been bothering me because of eating too much fruit in my office!!:D

Although I still think that you have to have a desirable "Aura"

Hey Aussie, be careful about using insect repellant: the chemicals in them are neurotoxic. Maybe a fruit fly isn't so bad.

Ya know...that's a good question. Nerves function by synapse which is pretty much a just a fancy word for an electrical impulse, if you will. I wonder if it has something to do with it such as it alters a persons normal, natural magnetic fields? Does this even make sense?

Or try this: Immediately bag up the core from the fruit you were eating so that it's sealed in an airtight manner. Make sure you wash your hands and around your mouth when you get done. That might be part of it. You could be leaving enough of the scent of the fruit on you that the flies can still 'smell' it even though you can't or aren't even aware of it!

What if I "love" to sleep and am still smart?

I'll admit, I didn't graduate at the top of my class, but was in the top 10%! I still love to sleep! Took naps as often as I could as a kid. Sleep until 10:00 on weekends if no one bothers me... and take naps on weekends if I have the chance.
Sleeping is my "treat" when I have extra time on my hands. Some would go for an ice cream, some would go to the mall, some would go for a walk, me, I would go for a pillow and a blanket and curl up on the couch if I had 20 minutes!
At least 2 times a week at lunch I'll go out to my car and set the alarm on my cell phone. I have my granddaughters blanket in the back seat and I'll take a 30 minute nap.

I have a problem with vultures. Seriously, every time I ride my bike, I see vultures circling. Now maybe they are there all the time and I only notice them when I ride my bike...never the less, the ugly warty, red headed beasts, which are actually quite regal flyers, seem attracted to me. (In my prime, I always thought my friends got the good looking guys.) :D

One of my former riding companions was bitten by a sandhill crane....she is lucky she was just bitten on the calf...they can kill a person with one peck....I guess I will take the benign vultures circling overhead then the lovely sculptural cranes hiding in the tall grass. At least I can see them coming....

Now beware of brood XIII of Cicadas due to be 'born' over the next few weeks in the midwest!!! They are 17 year cicadas and are supposed number in the billions....I have heard they will be dripping from trees and making tremendous noise.

well lucky for me...

I live in Australia. I only have to worry about flying bats over 1 metre long. Deadly spiders the size of a large man's hand, sharks at the beach, and the odd crocky.

Yikes!! Spiders the size of -- holey mackerel :eek:

I keep my eye on several different blogs. This is one of my favorites:

On May 18th, he wrote about a tick:

Quote:

Adam took this photo with his dandy camera. He said that this is one of a hundred ticks he got to know on our visit last weekend.

Adam has always been a tick magnet. The whole family could go to the woods and fields and come out clean, but Adam would be covered with the little critters. I’m sure its metabolic. I think ticks are attracted to carbon dioxide and lactic acid, and since Adam is the most athletic of us, perhaps he exudes the bouquet they seek.

In any case, we thought we would try to give a name to this tick. At first we thought of **** the Tick, but we knew someone named **** and the comparison didn’t work. Then we thought of Rick the Tick, but we also knew someone named Rick, so that was out.

We finally settled on Flick the Tick. It works as both a name and an instruction!

The "athletic bouquet" is the part that stood out to me. Could it be... :confused: :D

Hugs.

Barb :hug:

Aussie, this mite sound silly, BUT

Does this only happen in your office? Does the office have 'decorator plants'? Does a service 'do' the plants, or a well-meaning person in the office. Go around and check the plant's water trays, and if one is always soggy [stick your finger on top of the dirt and if you get dirt particles on your finger 3 times -Mon, Wed, Fri] I will be you'll find gnats or fruit-fly like critters living in the dirt...and the plant won't look to healthy. Plant is overwatered, roots are rotting and bugs are attracted - until a more tasty morsel comes along, such as you! Move the plant, and water it less and Maybe, that will help. I have been the company plant doctor in prior lifes...and rarely ever had to use pesticides...just good care.
Well, It may seem far-fetched, but, I have known it to happen!
Worth a try I guess!
May we soon hear you are bug-free! - j

Aussie-
I would flip out in Australia! I love creatures, but you sound like you have some creatures even Noah would not take on, lol.:eek: I would carry a tennis racket!
