Now, last year wa s bad enough when I went bezerk listening to pop..pop..pop and goign crazy trying to figrue out what wa wrong in my house, onyl to find out it was seeds that were sent that were exploding out of their pods.

Wel;l, let me tell ya that wa s nothign that compared to the major... do ya hear me.. major fright I had with a certain little piggie s box.

Ther e I was openign todays boxe s up and takign the one to one and extra seds to one room cuz them I don't sort through til evverybody stuff is here and had a hand full of the tagge d see dpackage s in my other hand to go to bedroom to start tossign into troughs.

Now when lookign at things clos e up I have to take my glasse s off so I cna see, so ha d them off and am looking at name son tagge d seeds. I pitch first handfull and grab the second handfull and they went flying in the air and I let out a scream. of ewwwwwwwwwww ..gross and om goodness. This piggy heart went to racing as I looke d for the seed packet that had put such a fright into me.

I foudn it and gengerly carrie d it to kitchen wher e I coudl get a better look at it. I wa s like I can't beliv e this was sent. Thinkign how in the heck did this get in the envie. Wer e the seeds in the envie devored and what wa s left in there sufficate????

I laid the envie on the table and got plastic glove s on to take a closer look , my hands shaking all the time.

I picke d up the item and realize d that it was hard and got a real, clos e good look at it.

MeKOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the heart attack this year. Your coral bush seed s looke d just like two giant beetle /roach/ butting bugs.

So Danita... a nd anybody els e who may be gettign them seeds from Mekos. They are not bugs, they are seeds, so don't ya all scream and have panic attacks liek I did.

You'll se e what I talkign abotu when ya get them. here a pic of the culprit a s best a s I could photgraph it.

Y a just lucky didn't have my coffee cup in hand at tiem like I normally do. LOL

Now if anybody els e sent weird lookign seds that gonan give me the hibby jebbies when I see them, pelas e speak now. LOL
