Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
NYCistas - if you know of anyone who would be interested in Open tickets for tomorrow day (gates open at 10 and evening session never begins before 7) I have 2. face value $62 each. My time is very limited to meet up with people though. they can email me at rlb14 at columbia dot edu.
I thought getting rid of these would be no issue.
wrod. Keith did his damnedest, though. Of course the line to have his incredibly smartassed children is twice as long now...dag, I hate it when that happens. Even though between the two of us, they'll need a note for P.E. for sure.

I just lost twenty minutes to that site.
I am more paranoid about fleas.
And I'm getting itchier by the minute just thinking about this.
I was out in the backyard for 10 minutes before dinner last night, and my legs got devoured by (I think) chiggers. I was so itchy I wanted to hack my legs off. I freaked The Boy out by using the hairdryer method of stopping itching. ("Are you BURNING the itching away?!?")
oh god. what is the powder that you can put on to keep chiggers off? I remember every house having a sock full of that in a tin can out the back door.
eta - reading up that is not true.

you can put clear fingernail polish over the bites to kill the chigger.
Cortisone cream, 2 benadryls (which also helped me sleep well), and the hairdryer trick took care of the massive itchy.
And to prevent it in the future, I just won't ever go outside again. I've heard I can have everything I need delivered to my door, courtesy of Amazon.com, the Apple store, and UPS.
Writes down "chiggers" as another reason to never move anywhere warmer than where he is now.
Somebody put clear fingernail polish on me to stop a mosquito bite itch, but it didn't stop the itch. It did stop me from scratching because it felt weird, though, so I guess it did its job.
Oh, god, chiggers or whatever comes out of the lawn after dark, I'm either allergic to them or the diabetes makes their bites more horrific than usual. But if I stay on concrete after dark, I don't end the summer with nasty wounds around my ankles.
