crankF 12893 Report post Posted August 4, 2017 Glad to say I'm not allergic, although my mom was. My "AfterBite" thingy was dried up, so hobbled into the grocery for some ammonia to dab onto the bite! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meaghan McLeod 179664 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 Cell phone, Internet and the whole world ending today. Everyone panicking like the end times were here. The start to the long weekend. Funny, I remember landlines going down. People, carry cash, find a pay phone. It's not the end of the world. Phone blew up once the system came back online. I got my floors done while waiting... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted August 7, 2017 Wife is coming home after a week away and still never managed to get into any naughty hyjinx while she was gone.

jafo105 39057 Report post Posted August 8, 2017 Not being able to afford a trip to see my half-sister when she is visiting Toronto next month. She currently lives in BC. We have never met in person so this would have been our first reunion. She is a couple of years younger than me and I am 50. She is very pissed off with me. She can't seem to grasp the fact that a disability pension does not pay a lot of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhereIRoam 21825 Report post Posted August 8, 2017 Disrespectful people. I agree, no need for them/it. Leads me to a general question I'm curious about. Is one being disrespectful when addressing someone being disrespectful, how is that viewed or defined? WIR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted August 9, 2017 Yellowjacket in shoe :( Ouch! Hope you're okay! I once had a yellow jacket bee nestling in my cleavage while I was washing dishes after coming in from outside. Luckily I did not get stung and he just casually flew out. To help the pain, mix a spoonful of baking soda with water on a cotton ball to the area where you got stung. This helps neutralize the venom. Then use vinegar if it begins to itch. Those bees are a pain to deal with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your garden hose attachment breaking and dousing you heavily in water- when you're all dressed up with somewhere to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nntsci 11076 Report post Posted August 12, 2017 I discovered a wasp nest underground beneath my mint. I found the wasps when I was pulling up weeds and felt a couple of stings... having not seen any wasps I thought I was pulling up nettles... but then a wasp chased me inside the house. I got rid of them last week. I would have left them alone but one of my sons is allergic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted August 12, 2017 Being woken up out of a deep sleep early in the morning hearing loud voices and you jump up out of bed ready to take someone on with the baseball bat in the closet thinking someone is in your house..( I have the fight instinct in me when startled) and realize it's the window cleaning company that you forgot were coming to clean your windows that morning. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest n*gu**6 Report post Posted August 17, 2017 Well with everyone finding wasps... I guess it was my turn. I decided to take the shutters off my house and paint them and the entrance doors this past weekend. Started bright and early and the first shutter I took off had a nest behind it and got stung 4 times. 3 within a 2" circle on my wrist and one on the bicep. The arm swelled twice the normal size (wish I had that physique every day...) but pained like a son-of-***** for two days. Swelling is finally down and back to normal, but an unpleasant experience. The new Merlot color turned our great though and looks awesome. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilt Boy 29353 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Taking a half-day off for a delivery that never showed up. When I contacted them to see what the superfuck happened, they said they were sorry for any inconvenience and it would be delivered TODAY between 4-5. They'll TRY to call me with 30 minutes notice before delivery, if they remember. I am having some difficulty to even. #GRRRRRRR Additional comments: They did call, and they did deliver. At 5:30. So, more than 24 hours late. Thanks, Robert Trucking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilt Boy 29353 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Taking 2 weeks vacation during the most beautiful time in the summer, and doing nothing but re-organize, re-stack, build, clean, and work on the house. I guess this will probably make us happier in the long run because we've been living in a pile of unopened boxes for 8 years. With getting the garage rewired, I now have a starting point to work from to clean out there as well. Then I can move all my powered tools out of the basement again. #sigh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
