Coconut Boy, what a flattering tribute, and a toothsome topic.

I would say my curse must be insects. I have 2 pet birds who I spoil, and from thier seed my house has tiny moths...the size of a grain of rice...kilt eating bastards they are!

I buy a nice fuente, and it has pinholes from tobacco beetles. I plant a garden, and it's cucumber beetles. I get in a sleeping bag, and there's a scorpion..There is a black widow in almost every machine I own.

Once in Ecuador I was in hotel during a thunderstorm and tarantulas were falling on me as I tried to fall asleep. (which might be another topic about nasty things in tropical paradise)

When I or my dogs get a tick (which I especially loathe) I save them in a jar to feed to my Ciclid who I keep for such occasions.

I'm not squeemish about them...but they have ruined more than a few occasions for me.
