Ok I'll confess!!!


I cut down on eating fruit in my office and the fruit flies have not been bothering me as much. So next week I am going to try to not snack or eat any fruit in the office and see how I go??

fair enough & good luck

No more fruit!! no more snacks.

Now won't you be a skinny thing!!!!!!

I'm a old nurse,never could sleep at childhood or old lady hood and
right from the get go i told you not to eat fruit in your offic. So this
makes me a sleepy genius and a wise one at that.. Sue

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

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

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.)

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.

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.

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!
