+Slowswift Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yeah, but a few seconds after that it'd just start itching again. There is no relief but sweet, sweet unconsciousness. ...yeah. I'm so sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I know how you feel! I abhor the feeling of bug repellent on my skin (who wants to rub poison on their arms/legs/face??), so I usually just go without unless there's significant danger of ticks. As a result, if I go outdoors a lot in the summer, my legs get lots of mosquito bites and become an absolute itch-fest. Have you tried putting anything on the bites? I have found that Cortisone cream sometimes helps. I bathe myself nightly in Off otherwise I'd be sucked dry burning my fire every night here in Bayou State. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Louisiana Ok. Yeah, that makes sense since Florida is the Sunshine State. I want to visit New Orleans one day. My parents have been there, but they went when I was too young to come along without putting a serious damper on their fun. They say there are lots of amazing restaurants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Louisiana Right on, best state of all. It's insect heaven from Apr-Oct which makes yet another reason I love winter so rusting much and they disappear. Plus there's no heat haze for my stargazing shimmering my views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Anamaximder Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks! *hugs back* Yeah, they're trolling. La sigh. They've signed off for the night with a racist slur. So... good for now, I guess...? Sorry. Some people just have no consideration for others. *hugs* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Blargh. They're replacing the carpet at the library, and something got down my throat and has decided to make it feel like sandpaper. I took some Benadryl, so we'll see if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Currently laying in bed fighting nausea from a really intense headache that just hit me suddenly. Fortunately not light/sound sensitive this time at least. jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 So I got a second job working at the city pool. I've been teaching swim lessons three hours every morning all week. It's freezing, and im really starting to burn. Right now I can't tell if my skin is freaking out from a rash of just sunburn, but it's itchy and painful.... I really hope I can get a job at the library soon... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Me last night: Yeah, you know what? I'm going to do it. I'm going to say "yes" to this Facebook invitation to karaoke tomorrow night. I'm a young twentysomething in a new city! Seize the day! Me last night: *wakes up at 3 AM with cramps, a sore throat, and a plugged-up nose* Me this morning: *wakes up feeling much the same way she did at 3 AM* Of course this would happen today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Yesterday (or two days ago. Friday it was) I was sleeping, as usually (as I don't have any university on fridays). My mom came into my room to take her work laptop, as usual.She woke me up... because during the night two sparrows flew in through open window.I'm too tired to describe everything that happened later, but I finished cleaning few hours ago, cause they shat over half of the room, including some clothes, my deskchair... AND MY OPENED WORDS OF RADIANCE And my family is like "no big deal, really". But it's uncleaneble. Not only my room was contaminated (I may have cleaned all of the dung, but try eating again at the desk you know was shat on. Yeah.) but now I have my precious book desecrated And when I tried to argue that maybe it wouldn't have happened if my dad had finally removed the bird nest WHICH COINCIDENTALLY IS PRACTICALLY UNDER MY WINDOW WHICH THEY FLEW IN THROUGH they said these two facts are not related. Yeah, totally not. Edited June 12, 2016 by Oversleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 At least you now have a good reason to buy the new, updated edition of WoR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm just disappointed that there is still no trade paperback of WoR. I don't really like hardcovers, and it's too long a book for me to really be comfortable with the mass market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I probably shouldn't paint them all with a broad brush; yours might be perfectly lovely. The ones on my mom's side were filled with drunken arguments, and the ones on my dad's side were filled with passive aggression. So I tend to take a negative view of family reunions in general. In other news, I think there's an invisible mosquito (or one that's just really good at hiding) living in my bathroom. For the past two nights, I've gotten out of the shower to find itchy bumps on the left side of my nose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to get revenge: 1) Leave out a small dish with a shallow amount of water in it to attract the mosquito. It needs stagnant water in which to lay its eggs. 2) Check on the dish daily. 3) As soon as you see wrigglers, take it out into the sun and dump it out on the hot, hot sidewalk. 4) Cackle maniacally as the vampire's children are destroyed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 So, I donated blood today. It did not go well. The good news is that the stick itself went OK. It only took two of them to hit the vein, and I think they hit it relatively cleanly. So the pint came out swiftly. That...wasn't so good in that it exacerbated the side effects. I have a pretty strong vasovagal reaction, so that combined with the quick drain meant that I nearly passed out WHILE lying down. Two cans of juice and a pack of cookies later, and I still couldn't stand up for any length of time without getting dizzy and my ears ringing. I eventually had to call my husband to come and take me home early, because I could not be trusted to drive and stay conscious. It took 2 or 3 hours before I was able to stay vertical again. So. That was my day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
