Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

[CycloneErik]

So doctor asks, "Can you even breath through that nose?" Hopefully not embarking on an Erik like diagnostic quest but my nose and and sinuses are like swollen shut and an inflamed purple color. Gross. Likely ******* up my ears which would explain the light headed dizziness and the nausea. No clear answer to what to do about it so going to drink more coffee.

Sounds fun.

On my end, the quest is solved, and we know the culprit.
I'm just surrounded by family members (sans Revkah and Z) who don't buy the issue and refuse to stop creating the problem.

Simultaneously, I'm finding that I just won't speak to people like that. If they want to be that dangerous for my health, then I'm moving right along.

So which 7 RTT members get to stay in your house and where are the rest of us supposed to sleep? I hope you got a block of rooms reserved somewhere because there's no way I'm staying in a tree with WDSM.

you get to all camp in the yard.

Basically it's all relatives staying, including the nieces. I'm basically waiting for the call that says the grandparents of said nieces wish to stay now too. The inn is full. Overflowing, actually. And not a chance I'm giving up my bed!

Really wanted to crash into bed that night and not have to get up til about noon to start cleaning up.

how rude of them.

 

[CycloneErik]

how rude of them.

Mom offered that it was probably humidity.
You could say that I was insulted. Thankfully, that response was filtered through revkah. Sadly, then revkah got to hear my own insulting language, because that's just wrong.

Socks today at work.

Well, I am just part of the hired help on the catering crew so have figured all along that I'll be staying in the stable with the llamas and alpacas.

You get to sleep in the manger.

Socks today at work.

I imagine they look great with the hula skirt.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Are we having a sock off?

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Well...MY socks are off! I don't wear them in the summer. If I had MY way, I wouldn't be wearing shoes either. One of the biggest disappointments in my life was back when I was five, and we moved from Texas up to Washington. A few weeks later I started kindergarten, and THEY MADE ME WEAR SHOES!!!! I only wore shoes to church back in Texas.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Yesterdays socks.

Everything looks great with a hula skirt.

Erik, did your allergy thing appear later in life, like you reached your tolerance for (X) and now you react to it? I'm just curious because I know it's been quite a battle to figure it out.

 

[NWICY]

Pants the funny I gave you is actually meant just to be fun. As in those socks look fun.

No antibiotics or steroids to help out? If you make it to Albert lea, let me know I can give you a couple shots of penicillin. Just a heads up, I only know two spots for giving penicillin . Rear end and neck and most comfortable with neck shots.

Is this the party with the naked beer slide?

 

[carvers4math]

My sinuses have been a mess since I turned 30 so allergies and messed up sinuses are my new normal for several decades now. Thus, I feel fine.

Good question, and we don't know. We never used that product before, so it be a late emerger, or just something we never would have known about.

EDIT: Otherwise, we never knew until October, 7 months into the problem.

I would bale hay in short sleeves. Decided the scratched up forearms were worth it. Also, that's something that always seemed to be done on the hottest summer days. And the wagon was always in the sun. Cruel because our giant shade tree in the yard was not quite i the right spot to provide shade.

Pfft. If it got hot enough I would bale in a muscle shirt and shorts. Your legs, arms and shoulders have a million little paper cuts but it is better than passing out from the heat.

I never could understand the sisters who would detassel with us in their bikinis. I always had to wear a shirt but one day it was ridiculously hot and humid and we were detasseling mile long rows. So I decided to take off my shirt. I hadn't gotten very far down the row when it started to pour down rain. It only rained for 10-15 minutes but it was enough to get the corn leaves good and heavy. By the end of the row my nipples had so many cuts in them that they were bleeding and I still had to detassel a mile back to get to my shirt.

So the answer to this question is "yes".

Ragweed is nasty for me. Is high ragweed, need rain. So I'm living on Sudafed.

Are you saying the women only wore bikini bottoms? Otherwise the tops would protect their nipples. If topless, you had the best spdetassing crew ever.
