I've read that just adding some water via hose (or otherwise agitating it, but that was the example used) on a weekly basis will prevent mosquito larva. I'm not sure I believe that, but maybe it's true. In any case dunks work. and you might be able to get mosquito fish for free from your local mosquito abatement or vector control office.

Is that strength? Or just living as best you can with what you are dealt? Isn't that what we all try to do, no matter our circumstances?
That why I object to talking about a battle with cancer. It's not a battle. It's putting one foot in front of another.

offer it up to God.

You offer up your suffering to God in thanks for him sacrificing his son on the cross for our sins. And the priests were always willing to remind you just how horrible Jesus' suffering was, in gory detail!
It meant that you sucked it up and shut up. Nuns loved that phrase a lot, too.

Platitudes:
When my mother was in a car accident several years back and wound up with permanent nerve damage to her rotator cuff, several people said to her "God must have been looking out for you," meaning that she was lucky to be alive. She always asked them WTF God was doing for the three seconds before the accident that he couldn't have prevented the guy who hit her from running the red light in the first place.

My aunt and I talked about just that. She had a short term terminal diag, she'd say she was dying quickly. But she wasn't dying of cancer; she was living with cancer until it killed her.
I grew up with the YA novels that were all battle against cancer! But for some of us, some like my aunt, the idea of living with until it could be chased out out or get the final say, appeals more. Because she didn't lose a battle. The other roommate just took precedence. It had nothing to do with her. Stupid ass mutating cells that don't pay attention to poison or pure will.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Oh, quester. That brings back memories. My mom used to tell me "offer it up", too.
Today has been another day of not much accomplished. The Internet is mostly to blame.
I have to sit down and think through this week's Bay Area trip so I can remember anything I need to pack, charge, buy or otherwise prepare for.
