Talking Bug on the windsheild? Or computer screen.

So I was sitting here reading some random posts, and this stupid little bug flies up on my screen, so I move the mouse over and start following it. This being my ever so perfect experiment, I concluded:
1) bugs are afraid of mice, and will run from them
2) if you surround the bug with a mouse, it will jump to another location
3) if the bug is sitting on the task bar at the bottom of the screen and you change windows, and the window the bug was standing on changes, it will jump away.

Ok that was random sorry, I'm on all kinds of medication for sinusitis and an upper respiratory infection, guess it's affecting my sanity huh? I'm going to bed now.

It just sounds to me like he has a highly analytical mind and is deep thinker...with way too much time on his hands!

I'll have to try that next time a bug lands on my screen. Usually I mash them against it with my thumb which makes a little smear that's rather tough to clean off. But it guarantees that they won't do it again! However, I think I'm getting paybacks from all their kinfolks so it's a never-ending cycle...maybe I oughta just fix the screen door...

With all the meds, are you sure there WAS a bug on the screen? Remember the 60's?

LOL. Yes, I'm positive there was a bug on the screen lol.
I'm on Azithromycin (250mg, steroid) and PhenyleP600 (40mg, decongestant).

The decongestant is probably the steroid. Azithromycin is an antibiotic. (Do a Google search). I guess those meds are affecting you more than you may think!

FWIW, I have noticed the bug-on-the-screen behavior before as well. I was stone cold sober at the time, though.

I see bugs all the time.

I have floaters (muscae volitantes) in my eyes.
