8/26/09 Four Months to Christmas!!!!
8/30/09 Rally Day…
… (that really fun event at church with food [potluck], magicians, and, of course, a talent show) was a really fun event today at church with food, magicians, and a talent show. Of course, this was to kick off school things starting up again in church (like youth group!!!). Then there was softball–TBS Bolt had their second practice today, and we are definitely improving (we went CO-ED this year because several of our team members went to college, so we needed more people), so (hopefully) you should be able to (hopefully) hear more about our second season in memory of Tanner Bryan Seedig.

Bedbugs
(a doorbell rings, Woman goes to answer it)
Woman
Yes?
Guy
Madam, I am a representative of Bedbug Awareness in the General Population, and I would like to–
Woman
I’m not interested in buying anything, thank you anyway.
Guy
Oh, but I’m not selling anything. You do not know what horrible creature these bedbugs are. They come to you at night, while you are sleeping, and they eat you alive. Those bites on your arm, where did you get them?
Woman
We have some spiders that we can’t seem to get rid of, and I’m still not interested in buying anything.
Guy
You have not heard me out. As for these spiders, that is a common misconception, live in your ignorance if you wish, but those look like bedbug bites.
Woman
Wait, by bedbugs, do you mean “Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite?” That’s just a rhyme.
Guy
Bedbugs do exist. At the point that they hatch, they are too small to see, when they reach adulthood, they are a full quarter of an inch. When they hatch, they feed. After that, they molt in five stages, eating every time. After the fifth molt, they lay eggs. A female bedbug can lay up to 500 eggs in its lifetime. DDT nearly wiped them out, but when use of DDT was stopped, they multiplied, and now, they could be in your bed, in your couch, in the hotel you stayed at for your last vacation, in a train, in a plane, in your suitcase, or even crawling up your pant leg at this very moment!
(Woman glances at leg, sees a bug, and screams)
Woman
Is that a bedbug? What do I do?
Guy
Call an exterminator, ma’am. Call an exterminator.
