Public Service Announcement

You have such beautiful skin, with your freckles and all.  I hope you take great care in not letting any nasty bugs bite you, so please take loving care of your body.  Mosquitoes are probably the most dangerous living creatures on the planet, and they are everywhere.  I'm sure you have heard of dengue fever.  The Ministry of Health here goes crazy over dengue.  Yesterday evening, a truck drove to and fro on the main street blasting through loudspeakers that they were about to do a spraydown because a case of dengue was diagnosed in the area.  They instructed people to shut the windows and open the doors then stay outside while they spray.  And it was a huge cloud of bug spray, too.  But they didn't come my way.

I had to vacate my little house as well.  I had to take my precious cats outside, then wait for them to come and spray (even though they didn't).  Luca and Doutzen had never been outside in their entire lives, so the ordeal was a great shock to them.  I kept them in a cage made out a shopping cart, while mama cat Floofy stayed in her basket.  Floofy and Luca kept their cool, but Doutzen is currently in heat, so she began to freak out and beat up her sister.  No she didn't hurt her thank God, but this made me decide that I will have to implement emergency drills with you all inshaAllah.  Life isn't supposed to be easy, so there will always be some sort of emergency.

Natty, while you visit the Middle East, I need you to remember this important thing: the Antichrist (in Arabic is known as the "Dajjal") has to appear first, before Jesus Christ (peace be on him) reappears.

Pina, you look so much better now that you are back home.  Your family all look like Burgers.  I will take it for granted that you will give up alcohol by the time we marry inshaAllah.  Right now, I can't even afford one wife let alone three.
