not a problem.  i keep forgetting to cut the old letter off.  i try to
read it while i'm writing to remember what i am writing about.  i
usually try to leave the first letter on there and add my comment on
the top, but delete the rest if there is any more other replies.  i'll
be more careful.  i'll just cut and paste what line i am replying to
like i have seen in most of the emails.

thanks for the good advice about the bees.  but if a wasp is thrown out
of his nest or is trapped in your house all night it can sting you. 
both my uncle and aunt have been stung at night like that.  it is rare,
but it has happened.  

wasps do a nice job for the environment, but they are horrible to deal
with.  they eat parasites or some kind of insects that will damage your
gardens, so they are not always a bad sign when they build a home. 
they are dangerous though, and nosy.  any bee is nosy!

when i was in kindtergarden in tennessee, i lived in an old house
belonging to one of my relatives.  the house was set back behind some
trees and behind a creek that we had to cross a bridge covering it to
get to the main road.  at the time it was a dirt road, but now they
have black topped it.  it had well water, a septic tank, and a wood
stove.  the only thing modern it had was electricity.

the year that we lived there they had an infestation of wasps.  they
covered the entire side of the house.  when we went out during the day,
the whole side of the house was covered in wasps.  i can't remeber if
it were just red wasps or black wasps also mixed in, but not one day
did we get scared living there.  i still can't figure out to this day
why my mother didn't buy some spray to kill them.  there may have been
one or two wasps a day that got into the house, maybe more but i don't
remember having any problem with them in the house, but the only one of
us that got stung the whole time we lived there was my youngest
brother.  he has red hair, and he was always getting teased about his
hair.  one of the things he was told was that red wasps didn't sting
red haired people. one day we all scream for our mother about a wasp
being on the floor, and before she got there to kill it, my brother who
was barefooted said "don't worry, i'll get it" and stepped on the
thing.  he got stung and my mother nagged my uncle for months for
telling him silly tales.  she still tells him to this day how mean that
was.  that was in 1976, and i wonder why that year they were so bad. 

this area has changes a lot since then, and there are so many houses
built where there were just lots of trees.  all the houses including
the one we lived in has city water.  everyone still has the same things
to worry about: snakes, wasps, and thunderstorms, so i guess some
things will never change.
