Pay attention guys!!!

My wife had the WORST stinkbug episode. She likes to sit in the dark, late at night, playing games on the computer and internet, etc. One night I heard a big scream and woke up to find her crying and gagging. She was eating a bag of popcorn, and one of the little bastards had crawled into it. In the dark, she didn't see it, put it in her mouth, and bit down on it!!!
Apparently they taste worse than they smell.......

My daughter ate one when she was 2. Wife said her breath was the worst thing ever. We had them pretty bad when I was stationed in NJ. Now back in NY they're pretty scarce, for now anyway. I still see a few every now and then.

The map shows them as "nuisance" problem only here in Ontario. Fortunately I have yet to see one and I hope they stay south of the border.

Just got done playing the worst game of operation ever!!!

I was hearing a sizzeling/popping sound from my breaker box, I thought well that can't be good. I take the cover off and pop out a few of the breakers. Here is what I found:

I was pulling them out with a 6" pair of tweezers, yes I shut the main down first!! I ended up pulling them all out, those dang bugs were crammed behind EVERY breaker I had. I must have pulled 100 of them out, I quit counting at 75. Now I am really pissed as I now have 3 dead breakers. Of course they control my over head lights.

What bothers me is they were working when I pulled them out of the box, does that sound right? I'm positive they are reinstalled right. I have a few extra breakers, I'll be putting them in tomorrow. Keith

Update. Ran back out to the shop for something else, and played with the breakers again. Turns out one of the contacts on the main breaker was loose and that was what was causing the buzzing/popping sound. I gave it a quick squeeze of the pliers and the sound is gone, and everything is working again. Keith

It's pretty freaky to be tooling around on your mower and have some critter decide to crawl into your ear canal. Ask me how I know.

How do you know this?
