What's in the moat?

[sourland]

I have known many a leech - some of them intimately. No fear here.

I knew it!


Sour wants leech snuggles!!

Ever pull a leech off your body and watch the anti coagulated blood ooze out of the wound? I have.

Leeches feed in the strangest places.

I still remember my kids standing still in the pond too long (this was the two eldest, when they were little, maybe 3 and 5)

I looked at then when they walked out of the pond, sighed, shook my head, and then tucked one under each arm, and carried them to the bathtub.

I first had them stand in a pot, and I had to pour salt all over their feet. Their feet had been "gloved" with an almost solid layer of super tiny leeches. Once it looked like most had dropped off, I shook them off and put them in the tub with gobs of salt and made them stay there for twenty minutes.



It was a crazy amount of tiny holes on those boys, but since the holes were so small, it didn't look like a Freddy Cruger fest.....but close.

 

[sourland]

Al, so you brined your kids?

 

[Alaskan]

Yes, of course.

Didn't you brine yours when they were small????

 

[sourland]

Yes, of course.

Didn't you brine yours when they were small????

Maybe I should have.

Is it good for pubescent BO? What about old man BO?

 

[Alaskan]

Old man BO requires quality moat time.


You first, show me how it is done.

I am considering a new moat with those little 'tissue trimming' fish. I have lots of lumps and bumps that they could trim off - also calluses and that sort of thing. We could charge admission.

UGH, I'm out Sour
