   so my husband and I had a very untraditional Thanksgiving yesterday. We spent the day at home in beed until noon (the kids stayed the night at their grandparents who don't seem to be bothered by our misfortune in the current situation). The baby came down with a fever monday night...the same day we got back from our weekend bb get-a-way. Turns out he had a double ear infection and his temp got as high as 104.
   Anywho, we didn't have any big plans so we were going to go out with my eldest's grandparents and great grandmother to cracker barrel. Since the baby was sick we stayed home with him while everyone else went out. (They were kind enough to bring us dinner plates to go). I ran to the store and picked up some pie and wine and beer for hubby. Guinness has been his new found favorite on Tap. When I got home I was explaining to him that guinness keeps their beer fresh by putting a widget in it...thus prompting him to ask how it worked.

   SO I looked it up.
   DID YOU KNOW BEER CONTAINS co2????
   Now if any are like my husband you relax in bed while having a bottle...
   Just kinda scared me a bit...It would be like piling 15 people in my little bedroom and saying can you smell that BB? BREATHE!
   He usually falls asleep before he can get through one thus the bottle sits on the night stand or computer desk...I told him he can't do that or I'll never let him have a beer for the rest of his life LOL

   Comforting isn't it? Beer...just another thing that attracts our blood sucking friends.

   so sorry the baby has a fever and an ear infection..ouch ouch ouch...poor little thing.

   I would suspect that the beer is not going to be any added attraction to a human, I mean the human is what the want...if it were that easy wouldn't the bed bug trap people just have us pop a beer? Honestly I don't know, but given the stress of everything, I am not sure I would take away his one beer :)

   Wow, I'm glad I don't bring drinks into the bedroom (other than flat water). Because I drink beer, diet Pepsi, sparkling wine ... pretty much everything with CO2!!

   Perhaps someone can experiment with a "beer trap".
