Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My best guess is b/c it's formulated with citric acid, so you want to flush it out well. Which you did.
And, if your skin around the eyes is anything like mine, could be some swelling and ugh from the irritation. Cool compresses are once again your friend though.

Maybe she had Morgellons
I find the whole Morgellons thing kind of compelling and disturbing because I can't imagine what it takes to convince yourself that your body is producing plastic threads.

not your mom's socks.
Update - sleep helps. Eye is totally irritated, but did not in fact burst into flames.
Even so, I can't tell you how tempting it was to get up early and leave a human-shaped pile of blue confetti on the bed for DH to find.
I feel so terrible for the Raid woman. Now I need to look up Morgellons.

I'm so glad Teppy is around to calm us down from all of our medicine fears. I'm terrified of every new pill I take, so I am especially glad you're there, Teppy.
Speaking of knowledgeable Buffistas, I wish I could show all my paint samples here so everyone could help me choose. I doubt they would scan properly, but my meatspace people are not helping.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Why can my dental surgeon's office not contact my insurance company directly? The surgeon's office sent a letter to me (at my parents' address -- I have no idea why they even have this address) asking me to contact the insurance company to get the Explanation of Benefits, and have the insurance company send it to me, so that I can send it to the surgeon's office. This is remarkably inefficient.

sj, what I've found really helpful in the past is to tape all the chips up to the wall and leave them there for a few days. You can get a sense of which ones catch your eye in various lights. It won't be quite the same if you aren't able to do it in the new place, but even so it should help you narrow down the choices.

Thanks, brenda. I'll try that. Our new bed quilt just arrived link so right now I am trying to match the paint colors to the lighter of the two blues in the flowers.
