28083. iiibbb - 7/7/2014 6:23:05 PM Arky... it didn't sound out of the ordinary. 28084. arkymalarky - 7/7/2014 7:43:56 PM It just occured to me reading Alistair's puns. one of those things that strikes you funny after the fact of being miserable. interestingly, I had that testing done in the same location I had my hysterectomy 9 years ago. And I still laugh about that incident, and was trying to figure out where my room was, which I had decided I could survive jumping from if the building was on fire. That's when Mose had come to see me and left out the fire exit and set off the fire alarm. About 4 hours after my surgery.
Connecticut! A friend is getting married in VT in August. I so wish I could go. 28085. arkymalarky - 7/7/2014 7:46:40 PM Jumping with an iv and staples across my stomach. I was weighing that against burning up. No fun at the time, hilarious later. 28086. webfeet - 7/8/2014 1:43:27 AM Arky, so after all that, did you find out what you are allergic to? Was it the Scented Candels in Bed, Bath and Beyond or Walmart? Or the fake frying pans? Or was it simply a deadly bumble bee?
Btw, anyone who still uses non-stick frying pans, you have to stop now. I think most of us are allergic to cancer.
Fun Fact: As anyone who doesn't know me knows, that I am fatally allergic to bees and they sting me (only in Europe) wherever I go. I have been stung indoors while sleeping in Spain at a friend's house in Catalonia (oh, Juanifer, we forgot to tell you--there waz a waspa nest outside your win-dow.); in the attic in the Alps where I am doomed, like an Edith Wharton heroine, to spend my summers; ah, bon? une gueppe? C'est pas une gueppe! C'est un frelon. Non, c'est une gueppe. They hibernate and then--poof! Waking up, even in winter, I have been stung indoors in the Alps. The only person in the entire family. Weird coinkydink? Anti-American? How do you explain Mother Nature's vendetta against me?
Paranoid? Non. Simply bugged. So, don't forget to bring an Epipen nevertheless on your summer travels.Some allergies can be deadly...
28087. arkymalarky - 7/8/2014 3:46:34 AM according to my allergist I'm allergic to the earth. I had the first of these tests 12 years ago and I'm supposed to get them every three years. I looked at my old test sheet and I'm actually highly allergic to four fewer things than I was 12 years ago. I counted 28 highly allergic reactions on my sheet and I had 32 12 years ago. 28088. arkymalarky - 7/8/2014 3:49:41 AM Bee allergies are really scary, for the reasons you stated. you never know where when so you always have to be prepared. I have an EpiPen, but thankfully I don't have those kinds of allergies or food allergies, just stuff that grows in Arkansas mostly. my inhaler is my trusty companion. 28089. Wombat - 7/11/2014 10:27:04 PM Leaving tomorrow with Wombino on college-visiting road trip. Even further west than with Wombette three years ago. St. Louis, MO (Washington U.); Iowa City, IA (U. of Iowa); Galeburg, IL (Knox College); Chicago, IL (U. of Chicago); Oberlin, OH (Oberlin College); Gambier, OH (Kenyon College); Pittsburgh, PA (U. of Pittsburgh). Finally get to cross the Mississippi River! 28090. arkymalarky - 7/11/2014 10:49:20 PM How nice! Hope you have a great and productive trip! 28091. judithathome - 7/12/2014 1:24:54 AM Odd how no one ever comes to Texas for future educational prospects.
Sadly, I can completely understand why... 28092. Ms. No - 7/12/2014 2:42:14 AM Called Ronnie today to verify the chicken and dumplings recipe. I'll be attempting it for the first time tomorrow -- wish me luck!
I am in the last leg of my summer tour -- I'm in Sugar Land with my folks. Mom and I will be road-tripping to San Antonio for a couple of days and we plan to make a day trip to Galveston. I'm also really looking forward to the end of this trip when my brother and s-i-l and the kids show up.
I'll get my act together and put together a real travelogue in the next day or two. 28093. wabbit - 7/12/2014 4:07:32 PM Message # 28063 Alistair, I have a DeBuyer Mineral B Element Country Cheff Iron Pan that works well with induction. It isn't a wok, you can't get the food up on the sides, but it's a very nice pan. Mine is 9.4", perfect for me, but you might want the 12.6". Like all iron pans, it's heavy and requires some care, but you'll have it forever. 28094. judithathome - 7/12/2014 5:32:20 PM we plan to make a day trip to Galveston
Let me know if they still sell stuffed crabs on the boardwalk...or if there IS a boardwalk left... 28095. Ms. No - 7/12/2014 7:44:17 PM There was pretty much nothing original left of the boardwalk when we were there last year. We'll be going to Kimo (Kima?) this time to scope it out for bringing the kids. It's on the inland side of the island, I believe, so there may be more original businesses left there.
28096. arkymalarky - 7/13/2014 2:40:10 AM In case people didn't see it in the teacher thread, a book about rural Ed that is partly about Delight:
http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/12478.html 28097. arkymalarky - 7/15/2014 5:36:45 PM I think I've said here before that in my opinion "I told you so" is a consolation prize for smart people. Mose hates it when I tell her that, but man I've been applying it with my parents here lately. Had to drive over to the emergency room with Dad yesterday because he's having visual issues like I get with migraines, & I have said repeatedly he needs to talk to a neurologist, but they never did. And the doctor didn't send him to one, so I'm going to be getting called every time something happens because he doesn't know what's a concern and what's not anymore since he fell. and they're in the middle of moving, and it's about to drive me nuts in general. Stan doesn't realize that one reason I love going to Colorado is crap like this. You just need to get away for a couple weeks where you're simply not available: sorry. I have no idea what you're going to do about it. I'm in Colorado. 28098. Ms. No - 7/17/2014 4:48:24 AM I will be adding that to my list of brush-offs.
Need my help in the 11th hour after I warned you this would happen?
So sorry. You'll have to figure that out on your own. I'm in Colorado."
It's going right up there with "Not my monkeys. Not my circus." 28099. arkymalarky - 7/17/2014 5:07:46 AM Stan loves that one! somebody said that at the gathering. Maybe Chris? 28100. judithathome - 7/17/2014 9:40:46 PM Yes, it WAS Chris...I just love him! 28101. arkymalarky - 7/17/2014 10:00:26 PM yeah, and that's a great thing considering they're the ones who called y'all cyber people! 28102. arkymalarky - 7/17/2014 10:01:36 PM 14 years ago? hard to believe.
