Help with what?Walk around on fire all the time.
I'm not sure you guys are seriously trying to help.

You're trying to go from 100 mph to 0, and I don't think that'll work for you. You're the kind of person who needs to be doing something, and at least part of that needs to be outside of the home.
What can you do to volunteer locally? That would have the added benefit of helping you assimilate and network in your community, and learn the language faster.

"Any type of carbon dioxide is attractive, even over a long distance," Conlon says.
Larger people tend to give off more carbon dioxide, which is why mosquitoes typically prefer munching on adults to small children. Pregnant women are also at increased risk, as they produce a greater-than-normal amount of exhaled carbon dioxide.

Movement and heat also attract mosquitoes. So if you want to avoid an onslaught of mosquito bites at your next outdoor gathering, stake out a chaise lounge rather than a spot on the volleyball team. Here's why. As you run around the volleyball court, the mosquitoes sense your movement and head toward you. When you pant from exertion, the smell of carbon dioxide from your heavy breathing draws them closer. So does the lactic acid from your sweat glands. And then -- gotcha.

Lose weight, have an abortion, stop moving, and stop panting from exertion (See loss, weight?)

This would help for that, but I don't spend much time there. (Poor Mr. krista.)
It's a bad cycle at the moment. I'm depressed, so that makes me not wish to leave the house, which makes me more depressed. Plenty of volunteer work to do here, though, once I can kick myself into doing it.
I read the same article. I'm on it on the weight loss. I'm worried about money right until the house in Memphis is sold, so as soon as this bottle of wine is finished, no more wine at home. Oh wait, this bottle is now empty. :( Also Mr. krista is working so I don't know how to feed myself. I've had a handful of potato chips today.
Abortion is illegal in Nicaragua under all circumstances.
Not moving is a problem.

Vosshall reassures me that it’s true, mosquitoes really do find some people more attractive than others. A lot of people doubted that this was the case, she says, despite the plethora of anecdotal evidence. Skeptics thought that everyone gets bitten about the same, but people whose immune systems react more strongly to the mosquito’s anticoagulant simply notice bites more. Vosshall designed her pilot study to weed out this variable. Volunteers exposed a patch of their forearm and a machine blew air across it, enticing mosquitoes into a trap. She found that mosquitoes found some people’s body odor four times as appetizing as others.
She also found that those people don’t really know whether they’re mosquito super attractors or not. In an attempt to get a diverse sample for her study, she designed a questionnaire asking people whether mosquitoes sought them out or ignored them. “We found zero correlation,” she says. What she concluded is that mosquito attractiveness is all relative. You could be a 40, she says, on an attractiveness scale of 1 to 100, but everyone else in your family is a 10, so mosquitoes go to you. But if you start hanging out with a bunch of 80s, you’ll be safe. “It could be a Craigslist thing,” she says. “Hey, we’re having a picnic, we’ll pay you $100 to come attract all the mosquitoes.”

What do you call first world problems while you are in a non first world country? Is there a Marh equation we should be using?

You know the season won't start earlier if we make these picks, right?
I'm awaiting my partner because he has carried the whole draft and should have the honor of the last pick. Also because I'm delusional from the mosquito bites in my left ear. My ####### ear!

I'm not the commish, but if I were, I'd complete the draft at HIGH NOON tomorrow and force all slackers to play with just 24 scrubs.

Last night I dreamed I was playing tennis against Ivan Lendl. At a party. In a mansion. On the staircase. With a flyswatter. I was doing surprisingly well, considering I had a flyswatter and all, until he hit a shot I couldn't return because of the pocket doors. f'n Lendl.St. Louis Bob said:

PARENTING TIP:
If your kid needs to enroll in a new school go ahead and wait until the day before school starts or even the actual day school starts. No sense in wasting a perfectly good summer day with unimportant stuff like enrolling your kid in school. Besides, teachers and school officials love a surprise and don't do much planning ahead any way.

Come out with your pants down!
My wife used to get eaten by mosquitoes, to the point that I could eschew repellant completely and still barely get a bite. Now they won't touch her and they go exclusively for me. All you have to do is pop out a couple of kids.krista4 said:

No lie - I had a dream that homer and I were moving in to an apartment in Chicago. We were driving there from my old house in Texas only we had to wait because homers stuff from New York hadnt arrived yet via ups. When the ups truck arrived, all he had was an old desk and 4 dinner chairs.
