She was virulently allergic to insect venom, especially mosquito venom.
Eek! That's particularly scary since mosquito bites seem kind of inevitable, at least in this part of the country.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Now tagless for your comfort.
she's thirteen months and she already has two of her bottom molars, plus the top four in front and on the bottom. And boy, does she like to use them.
How do you handle biting? O's taken to biting my shoulder and I'm usually so shocked that I'll yelp and find it hard to follow up with a stern, "no" because he's usually grinning at me.
In non-baby related news (surprise!), when I picked up our recycling bins outside, I found a poor slug that had crawled out on to our mulch and froze to death last night. Poor slug and this freakish weather. I think the forecast is calling for rain of toads tomorrow.

deb, how does she handle the mosquitos? I think I'm more allergic than most people because I get welts the size of quarters and have to take oral benadryl and use the cream to keep from scratching my skin off.
DH, the bastard, doesn't even welt!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Daniel, sleep~ma. How long is the training for again?
Just one more day, tomorrow, the project goes live Thursday.
If I can work up a second source of income, I could do this one standing on my head.
Also? I got the 9 am-5:30pm shift. Which means I might just be able to stay up long enough to chat and/or call to Andi at night for a bit before going to sleep. (She isn't home before midnight my time on most of the days she works)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Jo's resistance to the mosquito venom has increased over the years, something mine never did; she still gets the hideous swollen welts but she not longer goes into anaphylactic shock. She's a HUGE fan of "Deep Woods Off!"

I think Ginger has Hil beat.
Of all the many accident-prone Buffistas, you and Hil worry me the most.
You fall into the koi pond at the botanical gardens; you fall in the street and knock out two teeth; you break your hand in karate; you are injured in a golf cart accident; and you get eight stitches from a defective wine bottle and nobody ever lets you forget it.

Also? Brother I used to borrow money to now hesitates borrowing to me because I haven't kicked out our cousin.
Feh.
Also, Daniel, I hope you get more rest tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Brother I used to borrow money to now hesitates borrowing to me because I haven't kicked out our cousin.
Brother is not the boss of you. Pbbbbt to him! That being said, unless your cousin is paying rent or the best roommate ever (and from what I can tell, it's a negative on both counts), what the heck IS he doing living there? You have been having a hard time of late and unless he makes your life easier in some way--or at least not harder--maybe you shouldn't be living with him right now. You, my friend, totally deserve better.

I am not living with him, he is living with me. It's my house.
As to why he's not gone, it is complicated, and I'm really tired right now.
He will be made gone if Andi moves in with me, someday. Hee.
