It's not as chaotic as it sounds. At least a few of the hobbies each year stick long term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2136064 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 21:01:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2136064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"big bits" I know what you mean, but that's funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2136000 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 15:22:17 +0000 cindysmith 2136000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Archery? &lt;3&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3</p> <p>Also? I'm sort of in the same boat. Working outdoors, getting devoured by mosquitoes, and wearing pants doesn't seem to be solving the problem. I have big bits in places that were covered by clothes! I'm glad it helped you keep from being devoured, that's awesome! </p> <p>I'm going to be asking my ex-DH is I can have one of the thermo cell bug repellers and one of the belt-clip pouches for it. They WORK, and I'm tired of looking like a monkey that needs another monkey to pick bugs off me while I scratch the itchy places. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135995 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 15:10:41 +0000 Anonymous 2135995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Rachy!

Pants are definitely a necessity, although the little buggers bite right through them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135684 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 14:18:32 +0000 JAileen 2135684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lived in Houston for five years. &nbsp;They had trucks drive around spraying out poison. &nbsp;Here in the desert we don’t have any mosquitos. &nbsp;Of course it’s been in the upper 90s for weeks, so you pay one way or another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135677 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 13:37:41 +0000 nuancedream 2135677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh! Growing up in Delaware, I remember being bitten by mosquitoes and having itchy red welts on my arms and legs. They REALLY loved me. Long, lightweight pants were not an option for me. Off and other so called mosquito repellents were worthless. That's why I stay firmly entrenched in the Pacific Northwest during the summer. East Coast travel in spring and autumn months only.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135669 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 12:21:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2135669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice title, lol.<br /> That’s you in the pic of the shirt, stretching out an imaginary bow, right? (Just being silly!) Glad you’re getting this activity you enjoy in consistently.<br /> Wearing long pants myself, I guess. But it’s a sleeveless jumpsuit with cropped legs, so the monsters could still get at me, I suppose. Weirdly enough, the Euro skeeters seem to like my son more than me. At home it’s the opposite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135664 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:12:49 +0000 Anonymous 2135664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I could aim at them, but I'd be shooting myself in the legs-plus I couldn't hold the bow in that position! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135663 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 11:11:01 +0000 kkards 2135663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know people who swear by this.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.lowes.com/pd/thermacell-mini-patio-shield-blue-mosquito-repellent/1000349147?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-lwn-_-google-_-lia-_-241-_-outdoorpesticide-_-1000349147-_-0&amp;store_code=780&amp;placeholder=null&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyqS7waXt6gIVko7ICh3qqQAFEAYYASABEgI9afD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">https://www.lowes.com/pd/therm.....m_mmc=shp-</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135630 Mon, 27 Jul 2020 02:37:48 +0000 Jaime 2135630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mosquitoes are the bane of summer.

I was covered in sunscreen and bug spray. I wore my white pants at night to cover my legs, and kept the sleeves of my shirt un-scrunched. It helped!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135602 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 22:04:38 +0000 Anonymous 2135602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I even bought another I could stretch round my ankle- did no good at all I think they evolved! They were still swarming around my legs and trying to bite, but left my arms alone at least. </p> <p>These are about half mesh, so not so bad, but may consider other lightweight pants too Just for my yard though, skirts and dresses are still far more comfortable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135600 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 21:48:00 +0000 Angie 2135600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew! Thank you for living. That's important :)</p> <p>FWIW, thin and lightweight cotton/linen pants that are very roomy feel covered and cool in that type of heat. I grew up in it and understand it. The insects too. Asia and Africa - I rest my case....</p> <p>Didn't you used to wear bracelets to keep the mosquitoes away?&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wore-pants-today-and-didnt-die#post-2135597 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 21:39:28 +0000 Anonymous 2135597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The mosquitios had a very convincing oral argument....</p> <p>Now this would have occurred to most of you sooner- but I'm stubborn. No pants May-October. </p> <p>But after being a mosquito buffet for the last few weeks of doing archery in my backyard, despite the $15 bug spray that used to keep the little B's at bay, I finally gave up and covered up. Temps are still in the 90s, real feel 100- but I didn't die. </p> <p>*Imaginary sensei- you're gaining wisdom grasshopper* </p>
