Well I clearly need to know where Cabo is. Tell me now. So I can get there tomorrow.

Mexico. Paul Bissonnette also frequents that place. Gee, I wonder why?
If the reason is what I suspect I will be trying to get there TODAY

It's on the pacific coast on the Baja peninsula. There are direct flights from Winnipeg

Hahaha. Hell, I'd go there just to see the skanks lol. Entertainment at it's finest. My old hockey player crush also frequents there. (at least he did when I still followed Biz on twitter and when they were teammates)
I swear there is no one that agrees with Troy Westwood. Glad people are firing back at him on twitter. It's very entertaining.

I didn't know there were direct flights from here. What airline flies that route?

The people I am traveling with are allot of fun and are not at the same level but can hold their own. Two of the couples are around 30 and don't Have kids yet so they can take it out hard. I enjoy a good day drunk on holidays but don't have much game at night. All in all its pretty funny stuff.

You do know the envy quotient on this board just went up a massive amount right?
What I'm picturing now is you helping girls take Chive shots so they don't have to do selfies.

Fiancee was just about crying because that's pretty much her worst fear. We didn't find any in our place yesterday so that's the good news. And at least the people downstairs brought it up with the caretaker. I still hate them though.

Nothing is worse then a bug crawling on you and even worse is when they're all around you. Head lice was bad enough as a kid. Yuck yuck yuck

Apparently there's a bed bug epidemic going on this year. I've been in the same house for 26 years and never had any problems until recently when I started getting some red itchy bumps on my arms and legs.
I originally attributed it to hives/eczema even though I have no allergies and have never had anything like that happen before.
2nd doctor I went to told me they looked like bites, checked my mattress and boom. We got some bed bug sniffing dogs in the house and at least it was only localized to one area. Still had to bag EVERYTHING, throw out the mattress and can't go in there for 2 weeks.
It's a bloody nightmare trying to get rid of these things and ensure you get rid of them. But it has nothing to do with how clean/dirty you are, can pick them up from the slightest touch of another person.
I hope you don't have to deal with them HS.

Bedbugs have been making a big comeback for a few years now. Blame the DDT ban! Seriously, though - the general reduction and restriction in the use of broad-spectrum pesticides is one of the factors behind the resurgence of bedbugs. That, plus frequent travel to places where they're still endemic...

Respectfully, the bolded portion simply isn't true to the extent that you indicate.
Bed bugs are largely nocturnal and tend to retreat from feeding once finished to their hiding places. That tends to limit their mobility to a great extent and person to person contact is relatively rare. It's not impossible but is improbable. They don't jump. They don't have wings so cannot fly. They only crawl and relatively speaking, not very quickly. That's not to say they are slow, but they aren't cockroach fast either.
The most likely avenues for "contracting" bed bugs are through visiting infested areas and while hotels are the most likely avenue, there are plenty of stranger places you can get them. The Library across from the MTS Centre is nearly perpetually infested. There have been known infestations in movie theaters (none reported in Winnipeg). It's not inconceivable that they could transfer between luggage on an aircraft, though that's about as uncommon as person to person transfer.
Living in multi-tenant dwellings can be awful for just the reason, as Hammer is experiencing. They ain't quick, but they're mobile and move through walls from apartment to apartment quite readily. Hammer did nothing to bring this upon himself but gets to suffer nonetheless.
Gm0ney is absolutely correct that the reduction and restriction of insecticides with longer residual periods is largely responsible for the resurgence. The EPA in the U.S. (and their Canadian counterpart, the PMRA) was warned about this possibility when they eliminated most of the options - resistance to insecticides developing in insect populations is hardly unknown and certainly not uncommon. Basically we got what some of us expected and what the general population asked for via unintended consequences. There was a reason that pesticides were and are used for what they're used for. But the general public is not accepting of that reality.

Our wives were right in the thick of it but we kind of just helped out.

So I have one girl in this world who I love, trust completely and who feels the exact same way about me. I saw her yesterday.
It should be noted that she's a hardcore Catholic and lives 700 miles away from me. Because I really like complicated stuff and not having sex.
