Oh, but that’s sooo much different, don’t you understand? A bug is a real-live living thing to be cherished and nurtured - a fetus is merely a mass of cells, a part of the mother’s (?) body, a condition, a disease to be cured...
I, for one, welcome our new Bug Overlords. ;)
Do you have a garden, bert? Here’s my Beneficial Bug Mix. Plant a row in your garden and pests will not be a problem. This stuff draws in the good bugs, who eat the bad bugs. It truly is Life and Death on a grand scale out there in the garden, LOL!
Equal parts:
Cilantro
Dill
Fennel
Orange Cosmos
Calendula (Pot Marigold, not regular Marigold)
Blue Bachelor Buttons
Start in pots, indoors, 6 weeks prior to planting outside, or direct sew in the spring as soon as your soil can be worked. Let everything go through it’s cycle to full flowering during the season, but feel free to snip what you need for cooking and salads, as all of these flowers are edible by humans, as well. (The bugs will share with you.)
A yet born human? That's a different story, it's nothing more than parasitic tissue to them!
Satanic blind hatred for mankind shows itself yet again!
I was traumatized for life after coming across a "super expressway" of leaf cutter ants when stationed in Panama.........
Heres the whole sordid story.
I came home from being gone a week and the AC had been off for six days, so I opened some windows to get some air in. I opened the front door, and the biggest spider Id ever seen had built a web in the doorway.
I have a bad problem with spiders...one bit me years before and made me sick..I have a bad problem with arachnids of any sort.
I saw that monster, turned around and got my remington 870 from the hall closet, jacket a shell in the chamber and let fly out the front door.
The insidious arachnid disappeared in the mist.
I live out in the country, by the way, so the cops didn’t come.
How did I know?
I guess I profiled it..
My feeling is, if it’s as big as an unshelled walnut and it’s hanging in my doorway, I figure its up to no good.
Surely she has forgotten the government's I Spy Fly Program.
Ant hills were fair game when I was a kid also. The worst was hitting one with the lawn mower then forgetting about and walking into that part of the yard later and getting mauled on the feet and legs by the little red devils seeking revenge.

LOL!
Good graphic potlatch!
This teacher should be demoted to janitorial duties
She is just slightly off the purpose of teaching students necessary skills to be sell sufficient and productive
School boards need to assign strict guidlines with severe consequences for any deviation &/or failure of students to attain acceptable performance levels
Another reason for public schools to be contracted to private enterprise firms or shut down
[deviation] - seems to be pretty common with teachers anymore. Then if they try to fire them the school district gets sued!
Our local Drill Team is “National Champions” and known all over - even when my twin daughters were officers in it. M-TV was here filming them for their show and the school Superintendent canceled it all! Big fight going on now, lol.
I have done that, and know what you are talking about.
Have you ever run a lawn mower over a nest of yellow jackets (baddest of the bad, bees on steroids)?
You’ll never forget that experience either.
I had a yellow jacket fly under my T-shirt and sting me several times last summer as I was filling a hummingbird feeder.
After I beat that sucker to death the YJ still won, my back had several huge welts that took a long time to heal.
I have ZERO compassion for some insects, will kill them with pleasure.
