For anyone interested in the Certificate of Appreciation for phoning in the bird band

Here's a pic of what the Certificate looks like.

It's the little things in life that make me happy, and I was delighted to receive this Certificate.

There are two mistakes that need correcting : #1) The Location State is Connecticut, not Kentucky

#2) Encountered date is known ( September 5, 2012)

Also , a sincere "Thank you" to all who posted suggested remedies for those terrible sand flea/ flies bites that I encountered.

I bought a liquid solution, and today it worked well....but the GT was not cooperating this morning...nothing decent to post ...maybe tomorrow. :headbang:

Was your liquid solution: Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels, or Wild Turkey by any chance.
For mesquitos I find Gin & Tonic works well, must be the quinine in the tonic,
Cheers .

Thank you for the suggestions, Sir Gala Clad; I do think those libations would kill the varmits right on the spot! :laughing7:

I am not surprised that this happened; the representative to whom I gave the info via telephone had much difficulty with spelling; several times I had to repeat the information and spelling of the town and State.

I had a strange feeling that even after several repetitions of spelling , she still did not fully understand.

After searching the Internet for the appropriate venue to re-submit all the information I finally was able to make the corrections and request a revised Certificate, which I received via e-mail...it took a bit of time, but it was worth it to me.

Here's a pic of the corrected Certificate.
