That's fascinating. I know about the English etymology, which comes from "cuckoo" because a number of species are nest parasites. Do you have any sources? I love etymological history.

That's hilarious because my priest at the time encouraged people to read the books.

I don't know, Batperson was still kind of violent. And he didn't have a butler, but he did have Koala Boy.

You're setting yourself on fire to keep her warm. You both agree she needs help, which is great, but she's doing nothing beyond that, which is not great. On top of that, I'm seeing a lot of manipulation. She accuses you of trying to manipulate her into feeling guilty, which is literally what she is doing to you. This is not a healthy relationship; a good partnership will build both parties up. She needs to work on herself, alone, before you continue any sort of relationship with her. You need an exit strategy before she affects your health any further.

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

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.
