I’m so sorry. Do you have any Bactine or Neosporin + Pain Relief? Rose thorns are nasty, and so are infections.

Bless you. I have some generic Neosporin and some Advil. I got most punctures yesterday; I can tell if they are going to get infected in which case I'll call the dr. think they will be ok. I got a deep stab in my finger but I did clean it and put some peroxide on that; it feels fine today (hole in my glove).

I got one more bad filled up and topped it off with the seed heads from the poke weed. Will give me a little more time to get the stalks.

Now to get out and get some stickers and put them in the trash. You know, I do not feel good about putting those horrid thorny things in bags because they throw them in the city compost and they will probably not cook. Can't be helped. I got nasty stuff from their compost a few years ago, horrid white clover all over so I won't use their stuff any more even though it's cheap.

I ordered some wildflower seeds from this place in MN about 3 years ago. That's how I got that awful pokeweed. But I feel that I did accomplish something. There's one more nastier rose on the east side. Not sure how I'll deal with that.

I was out there swearing a couple times, not like me at all.

I'm mad at the prices people charge if you can even find somebody. I started with just an easy tree trimming job, 2 (his gf looked like a meth head) doesn't seem like they were here for 2 hours for $400 so I felt a little overcharged but a landscaping place would have charged me more. While they were here with the chipper, I did get rid of some nasty dead rose stuff out front. He would have chipped more for the $400 but I couldn't work that fast.

When I settle down and heat up some clam chowder I made, I will see what the others are doing.
