My A/C doesn't have a "fan" setting. I put it on low, though.

Anyone looking for a house in Ohio? This one's not much to look at, but they say it's got central air.

Fire ants only rank 1.2 out of 4? Wow. I've never been stung by any of the others on the list, but--wow. I guess part of what made the bites so bad is that you don't get just one fire ant sting. Or is it bite? Or both? I forget.

And the blisters last.

And continue to hurt for days.

I do not like fire ants.

Huh. I think I was stung by a pepsis wasp (tarantula hawk) when I was stationed in Tennessee. All I know is that the bugger flew in the open window, landed on my leg and zapped me but good. It hurt like the devil and I had to pull the car off the road and stop while I just gritted my teeth in pain. I couldn't drive for about 5 minutes afterward, but then it quit hurting pretty soon after. Just itched like the dickens for a couple days afterward.

Is anyone else having trouble with thesuperficial.com? ita turned me on to it and now I'm hooked. However, I can't seem to make the thing load anymore. I have to force quit out of my browser every time. I need my gossip, people!

BTW, I'm running Safari 1.3 on OS X (10.3.9).

Timelies all!

Had a productive trip to the mall. Bought some socks, some underwear and a new belt(the old one wore out fairly quickly). Now being pestered by a cat.

Cemetery can't find dad's grave

That's so upsetting--I can't even imagine. They put the wrong headstone on my father's grave. We knew precisely where it was, because it was on a corner, in the newest section of the cemetery, so it couldn't be anywhere else, but it was an awful feeling, and it seemed like forever until they corrected it. It was such a relief once they did, and even better, once Dad's own stone was finally up. The stone that was wrongly placed on Dad's grave, made at least one other wrong pitstop after being on Dad's, before it found it's (I assume) proper place.

That misplaced body thing happened in Baltimore. They did an autopsy on the wrong man.(/Homicide likes carrots)Mrs. Helpful sent me to a Mr. Pointy/"Say hello to my little friend!" place upon my reading that it was something of ita's. I came out equal parts "Loner" "and "Drama Nerd", I suspect it might have been different if I was in a brighter mood last night.

And, there's my case for cremation. Also, the one thing I tell my kids and my friends: once I'm dead, my vote is cancelled. So, even if I state a preference, it's moot. Do what they want with me, dead is dead.

There was a huge case in Georgia where a crematory dumped somewhere between 100-200 bodies on the property rather than cremating them.
