Also equally afraid of spiders since all of my Cook brothers lifted me out of a boat and dropped me into a nest of spiders in Canada. I too ate ants at GoGo's house in cream of wheat that she made-she told us (Jim and Me) it was cinnamon. He doesn't know still. Last year Skates (dog) was digging as I was talking to my neighbor, the next thing we noticed she was halfway covered with ants-her white fur was black. We ran to Bonnie's garage and tried to broom them off then got the hose and sprayed them off. I almost passed out since I'm terrified and Bonnie told me to keep it together for the Dog!!! Quite a scene!! I had the exterminator spray that hill in the yard.<br /><br />After your experience I would need drugs - valium or whatever.... Just the thought creeps me out!SuZQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721202403258706150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-85305108329085916172012-08-12T17:17:56.390-04:002012-08-12T17:17:56.390-04:00You might be on to something there.

No stopping at the store on the way.. and it had to be good. My contribution was hand churned Ice Cream with good, wholesome ingredients. It was sweetened with pure Maple syrup, given to me fresh from a friend's tree in Vermont. I carefully hand-crafted the ice cream, and when it was time to add the Maple syrup, it was full of ANTS! Well, I blew off as many as I could, and made a snap decision; use it anyway. I told the people that the tiny black flecks were vanilla bean. It was delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-82982717489168960462012-08-10T12:53:23.892-04:002012-08-10T12:53:23.892-04:00I think flying bugs are worse than crawling bugs.....I think flying bugs are worse than crawling bugs... but, maybe notGreen Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-3842108198753422922012-08-10T12:52:48.908-04:002012-08-10T12:52:48.908-04:00I had no intention of writing about it when I star...I had no intention of writing about it when I started this post.

Not sure it gives me courage, but I do know that I cannot be ruled by fear, or shouldn't be. I know that I am at times. Ruled by fear, doubt, guilt, responsibility. You'd think for once I might be ruled by something positive. Working on it. (Sh*t. seems like i always give that disclaimer!)<br /><br />No fun eating ants, or riding the kitchen of them. Pheobe should be glad her bowl was clean and empty or it would be full of ants too! And I would totally be concerned about a shared bathroom.
