Thanks, everyone!
My latest snow ever was June 1st in Colorado. Of coruse, we lived at 7,000 ft., so I think that was part of it. Still June should not have snow!
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Because books.
I had an allergy test (and weekly shots) as a kid. I remember them drawing the big grid on my back. Weird. I'm allergic to so much stuff (like grasses and weeds and cats, not food) that I just ignore it and stock up on Sudafed in the spring.
It snowed once on my birthday, and we got about 16 inches. I was in high school at the time, so it was kind of nice to have a snow day. But the previous weekend it had been about 70 and my friend and I were in her backyard in shorts and t-shirts lying on lounge chairs. Strange.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
None of the allergy tests I had as a kid revealed any surprises -- dust mites, tree pollen, and mold are just about as common as allergies get.

I'm getting the pig!
Happy Birthday wishes, Stephanie!

I had allergy testing in 7th grade, then the wonderful shots. They think I might have new allergies. Yay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
I need to make an appointment for allergy testing soon. Boo.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
I'm a big bundle of gronk today. I'm short on sleep, calories, temper, and just plain short. I'm going to have to find things to do that don't require interacting with other people today. ::looks at calendar:: Oh, goody -- two solo hours at the reference desk talking to patrons to start my day.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My allergy test revealed that I am allergic to grass, mold, dust mites, feathers, wool, silk, newsprint, cotton linters (cotton stuffing material), cats, dogs and assorted other pollens. I had allergy shots in my teens and they did help, but I've pretty much lived on antihistamines since I was about 15. It helped to know to stay away from things like cotton stuffing, which wouldn't have occurred to me, and I do the whole mattress cover, pillow covers and washing bedding with hot water thing for dust mites. I was apparently genetically created to survive on a space station.

From an article on Katie Curic:
She agreed to a salary near her current range of $13 million to $15 million for five years...
Um...if $13 million is so close to $15 million, I'm happy take that $2 million off her hands.

New allergies suck, vw. My dad developed grass and cat allergies when he was 50ish, and every time he came over Puck (rest his vicious little soul) made him miserable.

Thumb wrestle you for it.
