Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner we may meet...
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, Well wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed! |

You shouldn't try living in the Houston area since roaches bug you. Down there, the roaches are seriesly hugh. We call em water bugs cuz they don't come inside unless it has been raining (which happens alot in Houston).

I think you did the right thing with the cortizone.
In the United States inclusum (indigenous) and mildei (introduced) are the species most likely to be found, and the most likely to produce bites: These two spiders have a wide distribution in the United States, and precise ranges for them have not been defined. They tend to be transported easily, particularly in agricultural products such as grapes; in some areas (such as southeastern Idaho), it appears that grocery store grapes shipped from vineyards in central California are a principal means of introduction...
Bites by yellow sac spiders generally produce instant, intense stinging pain, not unlike that of the sting of a wasp or hornet. This may be followed by localized redness, swelling and itching; these manifestations may or may not evolve into a necrotic lesion, but when that occurs healing is usually complete within eight weeks.

prayers that it only just barely got ya and nothin else will develop :-)
Your quick thinking might have done the trick! According to the article, it looks like the bites can get pretty bad, but not as bad as those of the brown recluse. Glad it wasn't one o' them.

Thanks! I needed a hug! LOLYou can get one of those anytime here!
Just got back from WalMart buying more troop stuff. Then I made a batch of chocolate oatmeal cookies for Marines in Afghanistan and Winmags guys in the unknown place. Now, I gotta box up and take to the post office. Busy busy busy for my mornin' off!
But, the coolest thing - I know you'll appreciate - when I was in WalMart I ran into one of those ladies that works at the post office I use. She was SO SWEET! She went on and on thanking me for sending the packages and was with me on the chip aisle while I was picking out more stuff! We had a good ol' visit! :-)

I got a red X...and should have left it at that, but noooo, I just HAD to cut and paste the properties.
That's just...well, that amount of damage is probably what I make in a year, right?
Ouch.

For clarification: that amount of damage would cost as much to repair as I make in a year.
Not that I make that much damage a year.

Nope, it bit me...I have TWO mosquito-like bites on my leg. My rational mind tells me to just rub some hydrocortisone on it... There's stuff called "Afterbite" for insect bites. It's a semi-solid ammonia compound. Rub it on the bite, and it attacks the toxin.

I've gotten to a good stopping point on one urban blight, er, renewal project. Time to work in the next one. These turn out to be only blocks from the GA Capitol.
