I'm throwing low WBC into the fire because my 12 weeklies just became 13. Watch them sizzle, watch them pop.

Oh, and while I'm buring things. Let's toss in this assinine junk mail that's circulating all over Facebook. What does it have to do with breast cancer? It's beyond idiotic and does not deserve to live.
Ok pretty ladies, it's that time of year again, in support of breast cancer awareness!! So we all remember last years game of writing your bra color as your status?.....or the way we like to have our handbag handy? Remember last year so many people took part that it made national news and, the constant updating of status reminded everyone why we're doing this and helped raise awareness!! Do NOT tell any males what the status' mean, keep them guessing!! And please copy and paste (in a message )this to all your female friends to see if we can make a bigger fuss this year than last year!!! I did my part... now YOUR turn ! Go on ladies...and let's have all the males guessing! .. It's time to confuse the men again (not that its really that hard to do
) Everyone knows it makes their brains work wonders on what we're talkin about!! The idea is to choose the month you were born and the day you were born. Pass this on to the girls only and lets see how far it reaches around. The last one about the bra went round all over the world. So you'll write... I'm (your birth month) weeks and I'm craving (your birth date)!!! as your status. Example: Feb 14th= I'm 2 weeks and craving Choclolate mints!!January-1week Febuary-2weeks March-3weeks April-4weeks May-6weeks June-8weeks July-10weeks August-12weeks September-13weeks October-14weeks November-16weeks December-18weeks - Days of the month: 1-Skittles 2-Starburst 3-Kit-Kat 4-M&M's 5-Galaxy 6-Crunchie 7-Dairy Milk 8-Lollipop 9-Peanut Butter Cups 10-Meat Balls 11-Twizzlers 12-Bubble Gum 13-Hershey's Kisses 14-Chocolate Mints 15-Twix 16-Resse's Fastbreak 17-Fudge 18-Cherry Jello 19-Milkyway 20-Pickels 21-Creme Eggs 22-Skittles 23-Gummy Bears 24-Gummy Worms 25-Strawberry Pop Tarts 26-Starburst 27-Mini Eggs 28-Kit-Kat Chunkie 29-Double Chocolate Chip Chrunchy Cookies 30-Smarties 31-ChocolateIn she goes! Look at the height of those flames. Bullshit really casts a big flame!

Ellen - That whole thing sounds so retarded - if you need help throwing it in and making sure it stays there just let me know.

Bees. I am throwing bees into the fire! A few weeks ago I had to call the exterminator because bees got into my walls of my house! $250! Now I come home after no electricity and being evacuated because if the damn storm and had to call the exterminator again because a branch with a bees nest fell off a tree in front of my porch and now they are building a nest a few feet from where I enjoy sitting! I am finally home and looking forward to sitting on my front porch and I have bees swarming all over!!!!! Wonder how much it will cost me this time!!!
Ellen... I will help if you need me too! Just holler!0 -
VR----------so sorry you have had the worst of Irene. Try calling a beekeeper they may come get the whole nest for free. If they are really honeybee's, they are valuable. Saw it once , the keeper gets the Queen and the rest just follow, no swarming they just passively followed the Queen Mum on a stick. about 50-60 people standing within 30feet watching.
Got my first ever wasp sting tonite. Isopropyl alcohol did the trick, can't even see where the bite was. Meat tenderizer paste works well too.

Sas- thanks..good ideas. The leg warmers too ..except I am too damn hot these days and am actually wearing shorts despite the bruises. I am keeping a close eye on them ...my physio said my platelets were whacked out (not her word but essentially the same thing)...I am certain that on days when I am more tired than others, I bump myself and bruise myself more too so I am trying to be careful...but I have always bruised easily so this is just making it worse.....however, I will be in Florida in two days and plan o wearing a bathing suit and shorts anyhow. As my mom used to say, "I will never see these people again in my life so what do I care?" fair enough!

VR - So good to see you again - you have been missed.

Sandee,
I think "whacked out" should be a medical term, I tell my patients that "a yucky feeling is a medical term", but then of course I do warn them that my imaging table is not a "sleep number bed" also. Maybe I just have a whacked out sense of humor.

sas-schazi....Thanks for the suggestion about the bee keeper. I actually read up on bees before I posted yesterday...Pretty much took a crash course on bees. NASTY --- all those images of people with smiles on their faces covered with bees....Those bee keepers are something else. I don't know how they do it!
Anyway, when I spoke to my friend who is the exterminator, he said if there wasn't a nest, he couldn't help. Yesterday, it was very hard to see if there was a nest because they were all clumped up around a few leaves. I just went outside and they're still there, but I THINK I see the beginning forms of a new nest. The exterminator will be here sometime in the afternoon...so until then, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he could help me...otherwise...it's going to be a very long weekend. The DH already got stung.....To be continued.....

Cha-Ching! Another $250 to rid the bees! What a sight! My poor friend, the exterminator got stung! A bee climbed down the pole and bit him. They were not happy campers. The fell out of the tree in clumps. There were several hundred of them. What a mess!
I have seen enough bees this summer! So, if I see anymore, I can promise you all that I will haul every last one of them into the fire and save myself some money! Burn bees! Burn!0 -
voraciousreader - Whew! That took a lot of energy. Let's just sit by the fire and relax.
0 -
voracious: I'm tossing in biting flies and mosquitoes with your bees. That should make a cozy flame. Those little bloodsuckers eat me up alive every time I step outside. Since Irene. That big nasty bitch. She's still sizzling and putting out steam in the fire. Burn bugs burn!

Becca- YES! You understand. I am an English teacher/trainer...I examine immigrants and language students for their language proficiency believe it or not....by the time Friday comes around, I am lucky if I can put a simple sentence together! My term when I spoke to my dr. re. my heart attack (4 months post tammi ) was " I don't feel 'right'",,,so technical!!!
As for the bonfire...I need to toss in my inability to make decisions regarding my own life right now...looked at a house 1.25 hours away from where I work...also applied for a job in a different province...about to go on a week's vacation and then have to talk to my boss re. my lif eplans...whatever th ehell they are. I know it does not need to be a permanent decision...plans can be changed....I have made it through partner leaving, breast cancer and a heart attack....why can' I make this simple friggin' decision?!?!?!? so..into the fire goes my lack of decisiveness....just grab a fish Sandee!

ellen...I know! Those buggers are biting! You'd think we were living in the tropics!
Sandee...Shall I meet you down by the fire with a couple of coins to toss? Would that help? Hang in there!

Sandee-------read up on PTSD. We have been traumatized over and over again. My description that works for me , is I'm in self protect mode. If I avoid the thinking and the decision making, my brain doesn't hurt as much.
I'm still going to counseling. That helped me allot, but he is very experienced--35 plus years. The longer in time I get away from all the awful stuff that happened, I am starting to see some improvement. It isn't fast, but at least not standing still. Good Luck.
Ellen, besides bug spray does google suggest rubbing anything on the skin that will deter the buggers. I know allot of people believe in Skin so Soft.. Does Garlic work? Lemon juice? If I have a memory of it tomorrow I'll try to search too. There are electric fogger machines. I had a friend that would use it in her yard before parties, and they wouldn't have any problems.?

Becmag -so happy you are being seen . Now it should have been 3 days ago. Please update us as to your treatment. What i'm going to write below can't help your situation now, but may be helpful in the future.
The first thing to do with a bee sting is to see if the stinger is still in place. The venom sac is attached to the stinger. DO NOT pinch it to remove stinger, as that will squeeze remaining venom into you. This part you will have to google as my memory on it is gone. You take a flat back of a knife or key which is available in a home or car. What the e-med site will say is to use a tongue blade----Duh how many homes have a tongue blade in the cupboard. The key is to scrape the stinger out in a certain direction and that's the part I can't remember. The direction is important. Done in the correct direction, it will avoid the remainder of the venom from going into you.
As an aside meat tenderizer works well on bee stings. Pour some in hand and drip water onto it until you make a paste and apply after stinger removal. We always kept meat tenderizer in the glove compartment of the car and in the home. Used it in many cases during DS's soccer years. Amazing how many kids get stung playing soccer.
When you google emergency care of common bites and stings. It will discuss things like jellyfish stings etc. Good things to know if you are going to the beach for example. Anyone living where there are fireants---apply a bandaid with a cotton ball at pad area, then soak with isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol will affect the adhesive, that's why you want to apply it first. If you can't keep the bandaid on then just hold the cotton pad in place by whatever means you can. Fireant scars can last for years, but if you use the alcohol, it'll be gone in a couple of weeks. You only need to keep alcohol on it for < 24 hrs. Keep checking the site every few hours b/c alcohol on the skin can cause it's own problems. During soccer years we kept isopropyl alcohol in the car too.---Hadn't thought about this in years. Anyone with LE should probably research this and keep an emergency aid kit available. Add a magnifying glass to the kit, it helps.
Being OCD now. Check outside furniture for spiders on the underneath side of chairs and spray regularly. They love the nooks and crannies of outside furniture. DH lost 5 weeks of needed chemo b/c of a spider bite from sitting in an outside chair. Lesson learned to late. Recently, at a gathering, I noticed a cobweb on one of the chairs, threw it outside the enclosure. When I got to checking it, it was a brown widow.

I am throwing in the wildfires here in Texas. We need rain and for the wind to quit blowing. I would rather the bonfire get hot instead of people loosing their homes.

duckyb and sherryc...boy oh boy am I glad I was ONLY dealing with HORNETS!0 -
Sherry - I hear ya girlfriend. It is heartbreaking to know so many families have lost everything and the firefighters don't even have it contained yet. What are they waiting for - a written invitation???

On this bug related note...FLEAS! I cannot believe it. We don't even have a pet! "Helpful" inlaws came to visit for my son's birthday and left fleas behind from their dog. Now, my mom who came out to help me while I recover from surgery...her dog has fleas...cost her $220 at the vet, and I am not allowed to vacuum. Apparently, you have to vacuum a lot to get rid of fleas. So, mom's vacuuming my house like every day while I sit and watch and feel so completely GROSSED OUT!
Oh, and her dog poops in my house every day. EVERY DAY.

profbee - That is gross - I would ban the dog to the back yard. You can get a flea powder for the carpets that will kill the fleas. I had to use it once - you apply is just before going to bed and the next morning you vaccum it up. You can get it at any Wal Mart store.
0 -
Thanks. Really? My mom's vet said a lot of those things don't work, so get this special stuff. I ordered it and it arrives tomorrow. ugh. You have to pick up everything from the floor too--where y'know, I store extra blankets...so gotta wash all of them too. The cleaning will NEVER end!!!!!

profbee I had flees onetime from bringing them in on our shoes. Had to have the carpet sprayed by pest control but that was so much easier, then vacuum and throw the vacuum bag away outside. I HATE FLEES, YUK throw those little critters in

I sprinkled "20-Mule-Team Borax" all through my Mom's house, left it overnight & vacuumed - it got rid of the fleas her friends dog brought in. It didn't help it was a nasty little unfriendly mutt.... : )

Fleas were the reason my mother never allowed us to have pets indoors. Now that I am grown up, I have a cat that is not allowed out to bring back unwelcome guests, but last week I noticed squirrels playing on our table out in the yard, and my DH complained of getting bit while sitting there. He said he saw some tiny critters underneath the table when he looked, and I suspect it was fleas from those squirrels.... he sprayed the whole thing with some kind of organophosphate insecticide.... here's hoping the little buggers don't hitch a ride inside.... into the bonfire they go!!!
