Well folks, guess what. My MD has informed me that I have all the symptoms of West Nile Virus. I'm not on deaths bed or anything, it has just put me out of commission for a while. Right now I'm taking Fiorcet and Lortab for the headache. Yes, I am very high.

To the point---I need to trade for some Citronella and / or Pennyroyal to try and ward off these little beasts that got me sick in the first place.

I sprayed myself diligently with Cutter and OFF every time I went out. I wore long pants AND a long sleeved shirt. I even wear a hat. Apparently the mosquitos here are very agile in getting to some skin.

Anyway---I have several things to trade---which will not go out until next week---if any of you can help me out---I will dance at your next wedding (or at least get a little tipsy and be somewhat entertaining)

Thank you
Anita

I have a few cuttings of citronella geranuim - but you might want to check Home Depot- the ones here have huge ones for just a couple dollars $4 or so (about what it would cost for me to ship you a small one, or the cost to send a trade- you know?)

My bout with this "bug" doesn't seem to be getting any worse--so that's good. My headaches are letting up a bit and I'm not completely wiped out all day. I actually went out and looked at where my hyacinth bean was beginning to grow.

My mother came up tonite (she is the best friend anyone could ask for) and brought dinner and is spending the night.

I'm only 34, relatively healthy and went to my MD early. The morbidity in this illness lies with the elderly and people who ignore the symptoms.

Thank you guys for your kind words.
