Heart Failure

Internet People, the worst is upon us. Yesterday Kenza and her friend were playing in the pool and they are all like “what’s that black worm thing?” and OH. MY. GOD. I nearly had had failure. Two oven mitts, some tongs, a 10-foot pool net and I manage to get the thing into a jar.

Do you see what I see, Internet People? It’s a leech. A. LEECH. My neighbor drained his pond and guess what, the leech decided it wanted to live in my pool since his home was gone. I am still having serious some heart palpitations. I’ll take a snake over a leech any day! ANY DAY.

I’m not sure what leeches are good for these days, but maybe we can use them to drain the stupid out of unscientific greedy gas promoting guys?

Yikes, but obviously a dead leech, unless your pool is “chemical free”. And I must say, I am touched that the Toxic Avenger would give me a shout out in your previous post…I’ll be waiting for my clean bottled water, THANKS.

Are they the things that are good for healing wounds? Or is it maggots? Maybe infections? I am too lazy to Google. At any rate – totally gross in the pool – where there is one……

the good thing about leeches is that they can only live in very very very clean water.

That photo is Ed Ireland–a failed economist NOT a scientist. He tried to fool us into thinking apples and oranges are alike so breathing benzene is good. http://txsharon.blogspot.com/2010/06/bseec-benzene-comparison-is-apples-to.html

I’ll take a leech and a snake over Cone Ed any day!

I’m laughing so hard I think I peed myself a little! Don’t know if I’m hungry for some Subway or want to find one of those rings they wore around their heads to make little cone heads. OMG! AS for the leech, maybe he’s an endangered species!

If you think want to drain the Stupid from Ireland, you’re gonna need a whole bunch more leeches. A lot more.

The Titan air study should have surprised the different sites with a visit. The worst case scenerio would be that they were “painting” and then they should have ensured they were using the equipment then! Most sites post a sign when they are fracking. t would have been better to catch them on a normal day cause that is what we breathe…a normal day of their work.
