I think that was the experience of every kid who’s parents came from “the old country.” The first words of the old language they learned were the swear terms!
Oh man….I’ve had those little &#&^#ers. They don’t cause allergic reactions tho…you just get real itchy where they’ve been feeding from.
We finally got rid of them when we were moving to a new home…took the clothes over in small loads, tossed them into the wash before they even made it into the rest of the house…dryer heat killed them. Then left all the big stuff for the movers as well as anything that could take 130F for a few hours and had the apartment heat-treated….killed them dead dead dead in every life cycle stage.
Expensive, but I had the money and haven’t seen a single one in three years.
Three days, actually.
Armed Forces Day got those currently serving.Veterans Day for those who have already served.Memorial Day for those who served and never made it home.
As for every day recognition…I don’t need it, as i served in peacetime and , tbh, it feels little creepy and fetishtic.
