that's what it is...an allergic reaction to the scabies...

Totally true! I bet some people have the scabies and never know it because they're not as allergic!

We still never figured out what was causing the rash I had. The dermatologist gave me a steroid cream which made it go away, and it stayed completely gone for about a month before cropping up again, in mild form which disappeared after two applications of the cream (just saying that makes me feel like a rulebreaking baseball player). So no big deal, but I still wish I knew for sure what was causing this so I could make it go away for good and not have it as a niggling worry.

Okay, pop quiz: My boss's boss just told me a change that's coming up in the newsroom that I'm fairly certain my boss doesn't know about yet, which will affect him.

I don't want to tell him, because I'm not sure it should come from me, but I also don't want him to know I knew and didn't tell him.

So what should I do? Tell him to talk to the uberboss and not let him know what it's about? Keep my mouth shut? Am I overthinking this?

Serial:

The change isn't anything really bad ... just that someone is leaving and I'm going to have to do part of her job for a few weeks.

Poor itchy vw. I've had ringworm (caught it from a cat I adopted from the pound), which was no fun, even though it never made it to my boobies.

"DUH! And super size 'em."

There was a radio commercial in my neck of the woods talking about drive-through things (I don't remember the actual subject, which means the ad flopped). One of the angles was drive-through plastic surgery. The woman says, "And I'll take a Perk-Up Combo with extra lift, please." "OK," says the tinny voice on the speaker, "you wanna super-size that?" Man: "Yes, she does!"

The dermatologist gave me a steroid cream

Heh. When I dated a medical student she summed up her entire dermatology rotation thusly: "If it's dry, wet it. If it's wet, dry it. If they're not on steroids, put 'em on. If they are on steroids, take 'em off. That's it."

Tell him to talk to the uberboss and not let him know what it's about?

This, and make sure to phrase it in a way that let him know that a) it's not bad, and b) it's something that'll be affecting both you and him short-term.

so has anyone used albuteral? I am supposed to take 2 puffs every 4 as needed. I can't decide what that means. Partially because about an hour after I have taken it I get to cough and spit for a while which is unplesant and painful.

I posed a Question in my livejournal that seems a little Bitches-like, for anybody that's interested. Text below.

How much longer will it be before it's really okay for mostly-straight guys to wear makeup? I mean, I know enough about how makeup works to know that given a bit of the right foundation and some properly applied eyeliner, I would look much better than I do, but what's the point if the same girls that then find me hot are immediately disgusted by the "feminine" nature of said makeup use? It's annoying. My eyes are by far my best feature, and yet they are doomed to fade into the paleness of their surroundings, not allowed to shine through their contrast with a thin dark line of artificial shadow.
