@suzannealdrich @ellie @chieroglyph that sounds amazing
@blogdiva @suzannealdrich @ellie @chieroglyph yeah drive-in cinema might be the only non-nature culture Thing I'm jealous of from the US

@blogdiva not to trivialize or marginalize that trauma, that's horrific. I've never got them, but friends did and it was a BIG DEAL.
But: I didn't know they exhibit a characteristic smell. Do people commonly smell the bedbug smell? You could charge for this. "Aunt Liza's BedBeug Detection Servize"
@blogdiva and now I'm itching for some reason.

I love winter markets so much and Europe is the only place for that.

if you need to know why i have lost my love of movie theaters: i learned in the worst possible way i can smell bed bugs.
we had an infestation and i had to throw out all our beds, furniture upholstered with fabric, half of our winter clothes. sent my kids away during fumugation, while i washed everything we had & slept on the floor.
this happened after my husband left me. i have never recovered from the trauma nor financial ruin.
i have smelled bed bugs in every movie theater in my area.
@blogdiva
That's .... awful. -

yes, the exterminators said it was a thing. some of their people had the same ability but they anyways bring in the beagles because theyβre cuter and are closer to the floor.
wrote down everywhere i smelled something weird & showed it to them. when they unleashed the beagle, she went to every spot i had marked.
walking down streets, i can smell infested buildings. itβs usually brownstones. the problem with movie theaters is that you canβt detect them until you are inside.

@minmi nope. actually love it. i donβt think they aren't related.
@blogdiva ah ok haha. Well Iβm glad you arenβt afflicted by that gene cause not liking cilantro sounds awful.

@blogdiva i was told that if I got second had stuff to leave it the hot car and that would kill them. Being in Texas makes that rather easy, even in January

@suzannealdrich Are those different from Farmer's Markets in the US?

@woozle @suzannealdrich @blogdiva @ellie @chieroglyph yes, winter markets are overpriced winter gimmicky food and nicknacks
I haven't been to the German/Austrian ones though, maybe they're less naff vs ours.
