It's always my feet, somehow. One morning last summer I woke up with almost a dozen on each foot.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

I'll assume mosquito for now -- do they bite twice? I got another one last night.
If one found a way in, others will probably follow. They can bite multiple times (which is how they...ahem...can spread diseases), but usually where there's one, there's more.

I don't know if Erinaceous is lurking these days (Hi Erin) or if it's just some kind of coincidence, but this was her Facebook status WOTD:

I'm so tasty that they'll even nibble on my elbows.
Guys on other side of cubicle are playing the radio. It's tuned to a station playing Evanescence and Sixpence None the Richer.
Bless you, wonderful iPod. I put you on shuffle now.

Wow. Cougar isn't an especially attractive term, but dingo? Not so sexy.

Maybe a dingo blew your baby?

I'm trying to figure out if that's more or less unflattering than "chickenhawk", what with the whole "dingoes ate my baby" thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
SHRIFT! TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING!
I just choked on precious precious coffee.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
THAT'S what chickenhawk means!
Also, the dingo thing made me snort my coffee.
Also, too, I really don't want to work. But I need to buckle down, because I have no boss....

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think of "chickenhawk" as kind of sleazy older man interested in fellows that are slightly too young. A "daddy" is an attractive older man who may or may not be interested in younger men. Younger men would more likely be physically attracted to a daddy than to a chickenhawk.
I hadn't heard "dingo" in that context before. I'll only note that there's a big difference between a good-looking 40-year-old and a 40-year-old who tries (and fails miserably) to look and act like he's 20. As well as a 40-year-old whose a 20-year-old boyfriend thinks he has the sexiest eyes and one whose 20-year-old boyfriend likes receiving presents from him.
