Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ice is not recommended for burns. It can cause frostbite. You don't want anything cooler than cold water.
ION, have gone to the pharmacy and grocery store, put laundry in the dryer, have 2 loaves of zucchini bread in the oven, and made big yummy mexican rice bowls/burritos for dinner, which I am eating now. In 10 minutes: a whole hour of Treehouse of Horror.

Frostbite? Cool! (Probably not the right reaction, but I've always been really interested in frostbite. Not that Hil should risk it to satisfy my curiosity.)
I used a bag of frozen vegetables. I wonder if that's just as bad as ice. I'll adjust my treatment in the future.
I made way too much jambalaya. I just froze some and put some in a container for lunch tomorrow, and still have at least four meals worth.
Yay for jambalaya. I hope your arm isn't too terribly bad.
Palmetto bugs. I remember when I first encountered roaches outside of Florida, I laughed because they were so teeny and wee compared to what I was used to
You know, I've experienced both and...I'm sorry. Palmetto bugs are bigger, and fly and all. But they don't provoke the gut level revulsion that roaches do. I mean, ideally, you have neither, but I'd take the occasional palmetto flyby over roach infestations any day.
But he's in high school now and just about the cutest little androgynous gothling you ever did see. He's got jet black pigtails, blue and black eyeliner out to THERE, giant stompy combat boots - freaking ADORABLE. I just wanted to wrap him up in a black lace bow and send him to Jilli as a present.
D'awwwww! He sounds adorable, and I hope he survives his home environment without getting his spooky tendencies crushed.

When I first moved to Florida I had to go get a neighbor to kill critters if DH wasn't around to help me. After 30 years I will chase down any critter I see and crush with any available weapon until deady dead dead. Never thought I would turn into such a cold blooded killer, but it happened.
Palmetto bugs may not evoke the same emotional response as city cockroaches, but the size and flying thing... Ewwwwww
I slept /stayed in bed until 1130. I have eaten lunch. made my DH got to a local art show. 'Helped' DH fix my bike ( which means I watch and occasionally fetch something or hold something) and spent many hours on facebook or other places on the internet. I am about to start foing stuff for dinner.
I don't seem to care that it was a day of minimal accomplishments.
