No doubt your motives are pure, ace.

Was just outside doing some yard work and something bit me on the leg. Felt like Mike Tyson punched me in the leg while wearing chainsaw hands... that were on fire.

I've got a good tolerance for pain, but that damn near caused me to piss myself. Sometimes I like nature. Sometimes I don't.

"Something"?

Where in the States do you live?

Midwest. I'm pretty sure it was a wasp. Just a bite hole on the back knee joint, not the two-fang vampire mark variety that a spider would make.

A 'wasp'? I've been bitten by lizards, snakes, dogs and cats. scratched by some of them as well. I've been stung by wasps and bees and I don't know if I've ever gone through what you suffered.

BTW If you can confirm it's wasps, rid yourself of their nests.

I live on 6.3 acres. It would take thousands of dollars and a flyover by F-15s dropping napalm cannisters on the property to kill every nest. I did get a couple of those Waspinator bags. They look like hornet nests and you hang them where you want mr wasp to buzz away from. They work pretty well, but getting rid of all of them is next to impossible.

For those who are curious, yes we still have wasps alive in November. El Nino be fudging up the weather works. Fall in the Midwest pretty much didn't happen this year.

Meh, I have fought dragons, battled against the best fighters in the world, emerged victorious severly outnumbered by terrifying hordes, single-handedly prevented alien invasion before... I powered down my machine, drank warm milk and went to bed.

you sir, are a knight in shining armor.

These wasps don't operate by zeroes and ones. More of the meaty, fleshy, I've-survived-since-the-days-of-the-dinosaurs evolved, nasty living monster variety.

I am here to impress.

Dammnit! I really hate the control freaks of the internet! I really hate the constantly expanding cyber-fascism and the spamming of moderation's hammers and powers, the merciless hounding and all this crap! It is nerve wrecking! All manner of little girls i play with online, spirits of freedom and goodness the lot of them (i love them all a lot) and give a helping hand to random online people (flashing and even juicier things) as well, are constantly being moderated, banned and hunted, having their profiles and data removed, even from the most liberal social media!

Damn i really hate the turn moderation and oppression are gaining ground fast, as of late... I love and i grew somewhat fond of and attached, to all those brattish little fox-girls! I miss them and now i am sad... Damn!

Going out to find, cut down, haul back, and put up our Christmas tree tomorrow.

I'd rather have my intestines removed with a rusty spoon. :D

Every year when my dad is just about to finish getting the saw through the trunk I think, "Wouldn't it be sweet if the fucking thing fell the wrong way, landed on us and ended our misery!"

Finally got around to doing a proper resume - what a pain in the ***, different ppl have different ideas - everyone insists they are right. Same thing with cover letters. Some say do them.Others say not. Tailored resumes in past as well as cover letters. Few if ever feedback. Oh and now is the worst timing to look for work. Even temporary work seems to be scarce (or seems like it).

My neighbors haven't moved in yet. But they leave their dog outside their new home all day. He barks and barks and barks and barks. His tail wags. Lonely dog.
