Die, bees, I hate you, or ...
infp FLASH!

Let's see what the infp's think of this. I have had a bee invasion for many years now. As most of you know, I live somewhat out in the country in some rough land with rattlers, all type of scrubby brush and other critters, plus a migrating tribe of bees which may or may not morph into killers one of these days. I wonder if I have to disclose that when I sell the house, hmmmm? These are all the blessings of living near the Mexican border.

Anyway, some years they win, some years I win. Actually, I lose every year because I pay over $2500 to get them removed ... each time.

They have built up again into quite a nuisance this year and this very morning I awoke to find them swarming all over the kitchen ceiling and on light bulb surfaces in the living room. So now the war is really on except that I don't have the $2500 this week. Oh joy.

So this is where I find being an infp so very helpful. We ignore the entire manifest physical world all the time anyway, so I will be able to ignore this by discipline. I will keep my windows closed while they are swarming and pretend it isn't happening until I get it moved up on the priority list. After all, it doesn't happen every single day. It certainly gives you an idea of the ratio between sperm and eggs, though. One lousy little queen puts me through the spastic death of thousands of these little critters every month.

Do you ever use your infp this way? I swear to you, I can ignore and have ignored by discipline some really huge unpleasant things in my physical surroundings through the years because there wasn't anything I could do about them for the time being. I think this would drive an extrovert nuts.

Why do I hate the bees? I get stung all the time and that's annoying. It could even be fatal except that I am not anaphalactic. Their honey will eventually cave in the kitchen wall. They speck up the walls and I hate, truly truly hate the buzzing sound. Aren't most info's extremely sensitive to sound?

I do love the German word for bee buzz though ... bumble as in summt. Properly pronounced in German, it sounds like a buzzing bee.
Ja hier summt das Bienenvolk. Und das geht mir nicht gut.
