Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
Thanks msbelle. I'm miserable about the possibility. The one cool thing is that our local exterminator uses trained bedbug-finding dogs to figure out if you have them and where they are. I think that's pretty amazing.
Will seal mattress today. I will email you when I can.
Ugh, Pix.
lisah, that's so terrible. God.
I am back from the vet -- different story from a different vet, yet again -- and wish I could take a nap. I didn't get to bed last night until 1:30, and didn't sleep as late as I wanted to.
Oh god, lisah, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
Pix, yikes, here's hoping it's nothing serious! Are the bites very itchy? I had bedbugs once in a hostel in Melbourne, and they were insanely itchy -- like, as bad as poison ivy. So, um, if the itching isn't too bad, maybe it's not bedbugs? (Also, whoa, bedbug-finding dogs? Who knew such a thing existed??)
I'm horribly allergic to anything that bites, so I'm covered in itchy, scabby welts. ND doesn't have a mark on him. I also react like this to fleas, spiders, and sometimes even mosquitoes. Sigh.
Yuck, Pix. I hope it's just fleas or some critters easier to deal with.
"I hope you have fleas" is not something I ever imagined saying to a friend.

Ugh, so it already totally sucks even if it's not the worst-case scenario. So sorry!
Thanks. I'm pretty miserable. But now I have a plan. The local mattress store sells the protect a bed cover, so I'm going to start with that. Then I will enlist the help of the bug-sniffing dog. Mostly I will hope if it is bedbugs, they haven't spread yet.
Oh, poor Pix. I hope it's not bed bugs.
Ugh, Pix, that's a drag. I hope it's easily taken care of.
My German copies of Cold Kiss came! It's called Deine Lippen so kalt in German, which seems like a lot of words for "cold kiss," but still, very cool. And very pink, oddly.

Not to freak you out, but that was exactly my situation when I had bedbugs. Itchy scabby welts. (Apparently only a tiny fraction of the population is allergic to bedbug bites. Sometimes I hate being such a special snowflake.)
