Have you ever made friends with a fly? I have one that visits me every morning and bugs me. Is he trying to be friends? He is young.

I feel guilty killing him.  Maybe he trusts me.   He is so young and all and I don't have any other flies in here.  Maybe he is lonely.

    Place a few drops of honey (organic, of course) outside to attract some of his buddies.

    Oh sure.  I want more?  

    No. I want him to take a hike.  I know nothing about how they operate.  Do they like one another?  Who knows. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at September 1, 2019 1:55 PM MDT

    I used to catch flies back in my school days. Then I would shake 'em up to disorient them and smash 'em on the floor. BAM!

    That is a horrid thing to do.  Horrid.  Yet all kids act this way.  It is horrid.  That is a life form.  And there is NO reason to hurt a life form.  If it is harmful, then ELIMINATE it, don't torture it.

      And there is LESS reason to take pleasure from that.  GROSS.  

    But I am guilty as well.  I did stuff like that. I know what a sociopath feels like. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at September 1, 2019 3:27 PM MDT

    We threw them into spider webs. Nature at her finest.

    Nature does not require your help.  

    But I sound like I am supporting flies.  They are nasty and dirty.    I am conflicted.

    Which explains a lot about my love life.  LOL!

    Don't get too attached to it. They don't live very long.
