That means you have grown.

For sure. I dismissed a LOT of signs as other things. ‘Mosquito must be getting me bad or maybe this is a rash’ and ‘I must be bleeding a bit in my sleep from itching, that’s where these spots on my bedding must be coming from, little blood spots!’. So the infestation continued without my knowledge for some time. Now…

The amount of times I’ve stripped the entire bedroom down looking for them just because I’m having sleeping troubles is crazy.

More than two years for me now and I know that feeling. You know what to look for but little black bits of lint or random itches ‘could be something’ and need to be investigated. I won, I killed them all, all of them, but they could be back.

On the PLUS side, since I know what to look for rather than dismissing what…

and PS

Awesome to hear. We had an infestation about 5 years ago and my wife and I are returning to normal. I still do random checks and if my wife has an allergic reaction to something I tend to panic. (Heck even just seeing someone itch their arms or trunk makes me a bit paranoid)
Congrats on being Bug free!

I wish you the best, but speaking from experience, it doesn’t really go away, just gets easier to handle the paranoia. Tips: Don’t let kids eat anything that has chocolate in it near the bed like oreos. Those crumbs look mighty suspicious when getting up in the morning or changing sheets.

I’m an itchy person, and I’ve always been prone to getting unexplained itchy bumps etc. A year and a half out from my bedbug experience, I’m still half-convinced every itch is a harbinger that they’re back and I have to go through that hell again. Even better, as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten much-more-visible “eye…

I had them a long time ago (12+ years) and I’m still paranoid when sleeping anywhere other than my own bed. I will pull all the bedsheets and covers and do a thorough inspection of every nook and cranny until I’m sure those little sumbitches are not there.

Xander intentionally neglects to provide Buffy with life-threatening information about Willow’s attempt to reinvoke Angel’s curse, instead telling Buffy to “kick his ass”. This betrays Willow’s trust and endangers Buffy. After Buffy comes back from her L.A. freakout over having to send her lover to hell, Xander calls…

Boy I sure am glad we avoided the corrupt-as-all-hell Hillary Clinton!

Seriously. I have no earthly idea why so many people out there are marrying people they can’t fucking stand.

You better not be talking shit on Michaels. It’s cheap, unpretentious, always has coupons for 87% off, and you only ever go there when you’re specifically looking for a cheap picture frame or some glitter, never to “browse”.  If anything it’s one of the best stores.

I went to a Worst Store comment section and a Worst Wife discussion broke out.

This comment section quickly turned into “Any Store Women Like”.

We usually miss the extra point so it’s heads up 6-up.

That’s not a bad take, that is the worst take.

Rule of thumb: if you refer to women as “females,” you’re just telling on yourself.

No worries. Just listen for the sound of the White male complaining about his rights.
