I love looking foward to a presidential press conference is a nice change of pace.

My high school journalism teacher just friended me on Facebook. Am freaked but I must friend her back because I admire her and she shaped so much of my writing style and educational outlook.

Why does that weird you out, Cashmere?

Is it weird that I'm not freaked out by anyone who has friended me on facebook? I don't really care who reads it. Incidentally, anyone who wants to be my friend, I am here: [link]

I could be linking that totally wrong.

I have been stung by a bee exactly once. It was unpleasant.

Incidentally, I wonder how many bee stings happened on the set of Pushing Daisies, and if that's the real reason the show got canceled.

Why does that weird you out, Cashmere?

Probably because she is a prim and proper Morman and my online personality is a tad more...salty. That and I had sex with her teenage son (which, I'm hoping she doesn't know).

I knew my past would catch up with me.

Oh, that. Yeah, that would weird me out. But my attitude might not be the best.

I was stung in the foot twice one summer and the doctor told my mother that one more could kill me. Apparently the venom is worse that a rattle snakes and can stay in your body if you are sensitive to it and it can build up or lower your resistance to it or something.

I was a little unclear on the details as I was about 8 at the time and all I knew was that my instep swelled so much that it was domed outward as much as it should have been arched inward.

I haven't been stung since, but I have always wondered if I am still under a death sentence.

Ahh. That's different.

Ive never been stung either.

Cash, I think it'll be fine, unless of course you've been carrying a torch all these years and posting about it on FB.

I got stung so much as a kid I lost count. I know the first time was a bee and it was between my toes. Last stinging incident involved sitting on a bunch of justifiably angry red ants and was probably ten years ago.(knock wood)

I was stung at least once a summer for much of my child hood. I don't remember when it stopped.

I've been stung an undetermined number of times, plus bitten by ants and spiders. I just saw a show (1000 Ways To Die--TiVo grabbed for me, it wasn't my idea) that cited the mosquito as the most deadly insect, killing 2 million a year, but that's totally cheating, since I bet few people die from the bite itself, but rather the transmitted disease. Not to mention how many millions get bitten every year and don't die--I'd rather gamble on a mosquito bite than a black widow, which only kills 2 people in the US a year.
