Actually? Ladybugs *can* bite. I got bitten by one in 2003 while riding a city bus. True fact. They were swarming that year.

It was an orange-colored one, though. I didn’t know there were different kinds of ladybugs, I thought there were only red and black ones. The lighter-colored ones seem more inclined to take a chomp out of random human beings. Remember, they’re carnivores–that’s why gardeners love them.

But they don’t make as much of a habit out of it as, say, ticks do, so it’s nothing to panic about, either.

Thanks for the mention, Steve. My wife seems to think that ‘retirement’ = clean out garage, etc., etc., etc.

I am DEFINITELY getting an office away from home … even if it’s just to blog, look after my investments, and play a little on-line poker – appearances (especially, if it’s the ‘appearance’ of being busy) counts!

I’m glad you liked it! I find the concept alternatingly depressing and empowering. Trying to work on feeling more empowered.

Glad that you’re feeling better.

Your commentary is better than the links you post to. You should be editorial page editor of the blogosphere. Glad you’re back in action, have a nice weekend!

That is so true about being healthy. I am glad you are on the mend!
