I have been having the same problem. I used to live down south, so I know what a chigger bite is like and these bites seem very similar. I don't remember ever having this problem before. Usually when I get a mosquito bite, it welts right away and turns a little red and they itch for a couple of days (moderately)...these bites are different...they do not welt (almost looks like a pimple), they aren't red, but they itch like crazy and nothing seems to help the itch. And they seem to itch for a week or more. And I never see them bite me, so I don't know exactly when or where I am getting them. I hope we can figure it out soon.... :(

Thanks for the vote, Lynn! That snow you see in the photo is like a dusting for us. A "lot of snow" is when it's 3 feet deep in the open fields, the snowbanks on the edge of the driveway are over my head, and I have to shovel DOWN to find the mailbox. :p Sadly, our vote count is unintentionally going DOWN rather than up. Some of my friends thought they could vote more than once, so they hit 'like' and then they went back and hit it again (i.e., they 'unlike'd it, not realizing). I'm tired of trying to explain to them how Steger Mukluks requires the vote to count on facebook. :p -10F here this morning with more snow.... And that's the reason I wear mukluks! :)

That Simple Human one looks as though it is also lined with plastic; I can't tell for sure. There are always those outdoor galvanized steel ones; not something you'd keep in the kitchen (well, you could though...). They probably come in small sizes. The best advice I have is to tie up the used pads in plastic bags and take them to the outdoor trash every day. I used small metal step cans for disposable diapers and for cat litter. They had plastic inner cans, and even with always flushing diaper solids away and lining with plastic bags, I had to throw them away when diapers were finished and the cat was gone. We didn't have problems with odor from the cans day to day because of their lids and because we didn't leave things sitting in them for long, but the plastic liners still held enough odor that I didn't feel comfortable using them for anything else later on. I used a big plastic trash can for the cloth diapers. Funny thing, I don't remember it smelling as much as the others, probably because solids did not go into it and the diapers didn't sit in there longer than one day (two at the very most).

hi Melissa, ..I'm not sure what has gone wrong there, but in case you're not aware of this, you may be able to view any saved passwords on your computer, including those you have long since forgotten. It depends on which web browser and Windows system you are using, assuming you are using Windows and not Linux or Mac... If using Windows 8, go to Control panel - User Accounts - Credential Manager, and then you will see a list of your passwords. You might have to key in another password to access them if you normally do so when switching on your computer. If using Mozilla Firefox as a web browser, then click on Tools (at the top of page), Options - Security - Saved Passwords... and you will find them there.. ...then I think I would try and reinstate my old email address for this purpose and use the password again... ...see how you get on...
