BUGS

[basric]

If you hear of a woman going crazy in Tennessee, because when I go its going o make CNN.

These DAMN CICADAS are driving me crazy. The warmer it gets the louder they get. Thousands of males whose mating call rises and falls like an incoming tide of ocean waves. Loud...normal...loud...normal. It never stops. MATE ALREADY lay your eggs in the ground and die.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Nothing drowns them out, not the TV or radio. Ear phones help but you have to turn it up so loud your eardrums ache.

Rant is now over. I hate all BUGS.

Well let me box up about a hundred off my balcony and send them to you because they will block out all of that so you will cry with relief when they are gone.(=

The news tonite said when they are all in chorus together they are between 83 an 95 decibels, the same as a motorcycle, chain saw and sirens running continuously. That if they stayed at that level instead of waving it would cause hearing damage over four hours.

They've been hitting my patio windows and scratching the glass and singing since dark. It is suppose to storm. Maybe that will shut them up.

"They've been hitting my patio windows and scratching the glass and singing since dark."...now that would get on my last nerve too. Do you have air conditioning? i would think that would help some in blocking out the noise

Is there somewhere they don't have air conditioning. I couldn't survive that.

Nothing block them out--nothing. Sure I can't send you some? If all my LJF liat would take a hundred then that would come close to cleaning them out. If you have a Parrot or dog they love to eat them. Cats too.
