this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

We used sulphur powder when I worked on the survey crew and had to clear brush. I can't remember how well it actually worked though. They don't tend to get to me too badly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have you seen these: [link] I know you have magnetic spice jars, but these are mason jars. AMAZING!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooooooooooooh!!! Those are way cool. Unfortunately the only under-cabinet space I have is taken up by the microwave and toaster oven.

Both good things to have. Did you see the hexagonal spice jar sets he or she has too? They go on the fridge. They are beautiful beautiful. So cool.

I mean, I don't need magnetic mason jars, but they are kinda awesome.

I did not need a mysterious error message followed by what may be a self-correcting message at 3:30 on a Friday before a holiday weekend when everyone is already gone.

I guess I'll be monitoring it over the weekend in case I have to come do a manual reboot. Sigh.

OH and I don't think I'm getting to the pool tonight.
