Great that you made it to the movies!!! and today we had a busy but good day-DD played in a BB tournament-they won the Championship for it-except that the coach only played the 5th graders for the 2nd game-the other 2 games they got to be cheerleader-dog gone coaches!!!(it's a 5th/6th grade team) but she had fun overall!!!

hope your DS is feeling better-only good thing about winter is no insects!!!!
Thanks, he was fine after the initial five minutes....bet he will think twice about playing with bees. We have warned him about it numerous times, but I guess some things you need to learn for yourself :rotfl:

We had a centipede the other night :scared1: and he was very big and alive. The insect guys are going to come next week and spray around our home.

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: That is great. If they had fun, that is the main thing. Sometimes it is simply cool and fun to be on the winning team....something positive they can talk about in school and to family. That is one of the things that was nice about under 6 soccer, everyone got to play.

Well-I did say something to the coach-just couldn't resist-I mean I don't expect them to play the whole quarter-but how about 10-30 sec's???? Well it seemed to help a bit,they did play the 2nd game- least I didn't say anything in front of the kids I waited til she was leaving-

My DH was really upset they didn't play any of them though and he even left at half time with my DD because of it-I later learned she finally put them all in with 1.7 seconds to go for that game-give me a break!!!

But like you said-she was glad in the end for the chance to be part of the tournament-and feel the excitement of winning!!!

Me too!!!!!! I have gotten bit 3 times (before I lived in this house) and so now I am immune...but I still hate them. I hate the way they look and how fast they move :scared: The good thing is that I spot them really well, I would rather see them and take care of them than the kids get hurt. I also was bit twice in our house by scorpians (sp?), but I didn't get a reaction...and once I was holding DH when he was a baby and I just sucked up the pain and kept carrying him until I got him somewhere safe and high and then DH got it. Better me to get bitten than the kids.

My DMIL says it is good fortune to see a centipede...I think she tells me this so I don't want to move :rolleyes: Once they spray I won't see them for several months...they tend to avoid our house or die outside and DH will dispose of them...
 
THEY BITE!!!!! :faint: Oh my goodness-now I'm all freaked out!!!!

If she didn't want to put them all in at once, she should have at least rotated the younger girls so everyone got some time. Maybe put one 5th grader in for a minute or two and then she could come out and the next one in...putting them all in literally at the last second was an insult ::yes::
 
my Oldest DS once had his room in the basement and came running up the stairs stating he wasn't sleeping down there anymore-I guess a centipede crawled over him just as he was waking up!!!-Wait til I tell him they bite :rotfl: he'll be thankful he's not down there anymore!!!I can't believe they bite!!!

That's what I would do-she has 4 -5th graders and 4 periods to a BB game put them in either at the begining or end of each period(just one at a time) for at least 30sec maybe even a minute-that way at least they feel like they where part of the game!!!But that makes too much sense-

I might have to say something to the school if this continues though-DH is really upset about it and thinks she shouldn't even bother to go if she's not going to play them!!!
 
But then DH has been in quite the mood most of the week!!!! :rotfl2:

Yes, they have two things in the front of their mouth and so that is how you know it is a centipede bite....by the 2 dots. The yucky tale is just a scary looking thing. Now the scorpian tail is what will sting you :crazy2:

Both are painful and yucky ::yes::

I have gotton stung by jelly fish too. Sometimes it is a little "whip" from the tenticle. Once a large jelly wrapped around my upper thigh and I had some really nasty stings...and going down my leg you could see the pattern of the stingers....like the suctions on an octopus leg. And, I have stepped on sea creatures too.

But like, DH says, at least we don't have nasty snakes :crazy2: I can't stand snakes :scared:

now I feel all creepy crawly :scared:
:rotfl2: do you have those where you are at? Wouldn't they die in the snow?

was it a millipede or centipede? I think millipedes don't bite. :confused3
 
The best part of the night she didn't play them was-that DH and I were making some suggestions to the coach like-"How about the rest of the team" nothing too bad-just trying to draw her attention to the fact that she hadn't played one 5th grader yet-and one of the 6th grade Mom's turns around and says-"well, that's how it was last year!"-Ok That got me going I told her (somewhat calmly)"and Just what does that have to do with this year???? That should make it OK?????" Man!! some people just don't get it!!!

We call them centipedes-Long legs white/silver in color and they can run like lighting!!! Millipedes are darker and have the smaller legs-just more and they move in a wave??? Hope I got it right :scratchin

Oh-they love to live in the basement!!!Occasionally they will climb through the heating vents and get into a room-usually the bathroom- since we all hate them and make DH come and kill them :rolleyes:
 
They have scorpions in the south and they like to live in the wood piles-so when you go and grab a log that's when they sting you-DH has gotten stung-but not me!!!! He says to like a really bad bee stingx2!! No thanks!!! I'll take your word for it!!
 
We have the Hawaiian Centipedes which I don't think are the same creatures you would find in a basement in your part of the country. Ours look like this, but sometimes we find them as big as a thumb in thickness and around 7 or 8 inches long :crazy2:
