I didn't know he had the ability to choose to be born to a gross and shady emerald mine owner.

Block it. There are a number of ways, but I soak mine for a couple hours, then pin it to blocking boards. Well, actually, they're foam alphabet blocks, but the result is the same. Just make sure you use stainless steel pins so you don't damage your project with rust.

Even if they knew someone who died, they insisted it wasn't covid, even to the point of keeping it off death certificates.

We do have "poultry" as a catch-all for domestic birds. Not exactly the same as beef/cow, but definitely has a Norman connection.

Normally, I would recommend citronella, either the grass or the candles, but I believe it is toxic to dogs.

I believe lavender, catnip and basil are safe, but they're all mints and may try to take over your garden or yard. They all grow very well in pots though.

You can also try setting a trap. Put out some soapy water. The females are the ones biting you and they need water to lay eggs. They'll fall in the water and the soap prevents them from escaping. I haven't actually tried this with mosquitos, just other pests, but I have friends who swear by it.
