I really hope nobody has to experience this.

Yearly Cicadas I ignore but, the 17 yr. ones are hideous- they arrive by the millions- their din is deafening.

Sounds like home to me! My dog likes to catch and play with them, thinks they are fabulous toys. I'm so used to them I don't really hear them anymore!

I wish I couldn't hear them. I still do being a Dallas transplant down here. Funny a woman from Hanau, Germany hears them less..

I also hope nobody experiences salsa verde that is 100x too strong like I had the other day. It is very debilitating experiencing cardiac symptoms on the toilet daily.

hehe. I want to laugh, but I know your pain. My daughter made us all some Indian Curry last year. I learned the real meaning of "Screaming squirts"... and all of these years I just thought that it was colorful terminology.

It's funny. You know, I've lived in Georgia, Texas, AND Germany. Small world. I like Georgia better than Texas. I liked Germany the best. Don't those cicada's sound like a bad power transformer? It could drive a person insane.

The cicadas around here are more like jack-hammers. They are real bad. I thinkk wikipedia says loudest insect in the western hemisphere.

Ouch. Right now I've got two outside "singing." Like crickets with a megaphone who are trying to see how long they can hold a note. Not sure I've heard the kind you're talking about, and I hope I don't.

Now, if you've also lived in South Carolina and California, I'll have to start wondering who is stalking who. lol, Just kidding!! Ignore my idiot sense of humor.
