The Ka-tet Cantina

I think the Ivarest is the closest thing to actual prevention or at least relief available. I've always had a serious allergy to whatever the oil is in those plants, too. When I was a kid the only product for it was this pink liquid stuff which didn't really do much except make a big mess. I haven't had an infection in several years, I think due to being in a habit of looking out for the poison ivy leaf which I can spot as if I have radar for it.

Calamine Lotion. That was about all we had when I was growing up also. For some reason vinegar was thought to be a remedy for Poison Ivy also so if I got into a patch of poison oak or ivy when I was a kid, I usually walked around with a coat of pink goo on me smelling like vinegar, yuck.

That's it. I'm off to see the doctor. I don't have an appointment but I'm hoping that if I'm at the door when they open it, they'll take me. Otherwise, I'm going to the ER. I have poison oak on my freaking EYELIDS for Pete's sake.
Wish me luck.

I unintentionally stood in the smoke of a fire where a bunch of poison ivy was being burned when I was kid, I ended up getting on the inside of my nostrils and throat. Just about the worst few days of my life as far as having an itch you couldn't scratch....

I was just going to write never ever burn poison ivy for this very reason, ghost. I have heard stories about people getting it in the lungs from doing so.

Hope Lepplady makes out okay. I'm terribly allergic to it too.

 

[Lepplady]

Yikes, Lepp. Hope they can offer some relief for you.

Oh sweet mother of all things holy.... I have a shot on board, prescription strength hydrocortizone cream, antihistamines and a steroid pack to start taking to morrow. This is the first time in a couple of days that I haven't felt like digging my skin off with a fork.
Thankfully, I walked in and they took me first.
Thenkee for those well wishes. I think they worked

Thankful you will soon be on the mend.

Did you remember to stop by the liquor store on the way home?

*strolls into the Cantina.* Well Ka-tet mates, I have returned. Again.
Been busy working odd jobs. Now married and moving to another city. I have been keeping up on my art. Now I am writing. Getting ready to work on a novel idea. Hope all is well.

Just curling myself up in a ball waiting or not waiting to hear about jobs when this place calls for an interview.
Use up gas money to go? or wait.. oh I will make appt.
I am just so tired of interviews. They probably saw military drawings on my resume. I had a phone interview.

On the way there, AND the way back. *urp*

Wulfie! And Mrs. Wulfie!

So happy to see you! And happy to hear that you're hard at work on your art and writing projects.

Our 2014 tax return is finished...will be filed electronically, same thing with the payment...ouch. Would have had to pay a total of $1,251 more if not for an IRA contribution...so I guess there is a bright side...other than getting that chore put away. What drives me crazy is those who get thousands of dollars, "earned income credit", without going through the pain of paying in. How's that work? State return is mailed in...or will be...unless I forget. Best put a stamp or two on it and sign it, fill out the check, contribute to society. A hero for a day.

Which fantasy world should you live in?

I got:

Let's face it, what you most love is chocolate. Being endlessly surrounded by candy bars to munch on is your idea of paradise!

Research has told me that the company i am interviewing for are the ones that made the O-Rings for the shuttle disaster.

 

[not_nadine]

You belong in Oz!

You'd love to wind up in a place that caters to all your needs and makes you fully complete. But, as always, you are prepared to be disappointed. If Oz isn't all it is promised to be, you have enough inner strength to make it on your own.

Summer's coming, so...

Ghost, I think we might have been seperated at birth. This was me in my youth as well.
