you know I thought it was a sinus bug going around, but me and michael BOTH
had that. I think it was the two months with no rain that did us in,
neither of us have bad allergies....even tho cottonwood MURDERS my whole
head every year. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

You kidding? I got up this morning, sat on the couch, and started to
sneeze. And sneeze. And sneeze. It went something like this -
Sneeze-sneeze-sneeze-sneeze-sneeze-sneeze. Sneeze. Sneeze. *insert pause
to wipe eyes, twitch nose violently, and take a few preparatory deep
breaths* Sneeze-sneeze-sneeze-sneeze. Sneeze. *another nose-twitching
pause* Sneeze-sneeze-sneeze. Sneeze-sneeze. Sneeze.
Lovely. And no allergy medicine in the house. ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

wassa ragweed? are those those bastard gorselike things or is it a generic
thingy? just asking because its a lovely word and i should like to use it
in day to day conversation. constantly.
oh, and for the record, just to keep on thread, i am blessedly free of
allergies this year, though i did randomly start suffering from them last
year for no reason i can really tell, and i couldnt figure out how i could
possibly have a cold having not done any of the things that usually
terminate with colds. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.

It's wierd that people can just GET allergies to things they had no problem
with later in life. It's like at some point your body just throws in the
towel and gives up to the pollen one molecule at a time. My boss developed
a STRONG allergy to strawberries when he was 35. Couldn't figure out why
he was getting sick, and had to stop drinking fruitopia altogether.
Ragweed is a massive weed that grows all over the country, and I THINK it's
similar in appearance to goldenrod? I'm not sure, but for some reason I
think it is. I could be totally wrong. But I do know it's a wild
flowering bastard that sends most people into fits the minute it pops
up.
And callei, michael had what you had. He was achy all over, grouchy as
hell, sneezy, itchy, red eyed and drippy for WEEKS. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

That's like me. I was lactorse intolerant as a baby, then I grew out of it
and was fine for years, then BAM eighth grade rolls around and I am doomed
when I have any dairy. At least I found yummmy chocolate brownie almond
soy dream ice cream. YUM! I am addicted to the stuff. ____________________ "People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't

I can do dairy, and I just found out I have no problem eating raw meat.
Granted, it was a tiny piece . . . I ate the chunk of cartilage from my
dermal-punched lower conch piercing (a Sadhu). Have you ever smelled
medical supplies? Like a gauze package, it smells all sterile and
plasticy? That's what it tasted like. Chewy. Ewwww. ____________________ < / hate > |

ANdree... I really have nothing I can say in response to that... though I
have never known anyone that had engaged in an act of auto-cannibalism... I
suppose though, that unless you had one of three hard to pronounce and
impossible to spell condistions you could have an allergic reaction to
yourself...
i guess I had something to say after all ____________________ The earth turns on a tilted axis - just doing the best it can.

Amazing . . . one paragraph, and you managed to say something. Some
people write pieces of junk that resemble dissertations, and never say
anything.
And it's body modification tradition to eat your dermal punch.
Yesterday, my piercer Phish punched my ear, and said, Ya wanna see the
piece? and i said, Yeah, I don't get to take it home, do I? and he said
Yeah, you can take it home. Most people eat it. So I took it home, took a
picture of it, and ate it. I'm surprised I didn't name it.
The above paragraph is exhibit A: a dissertation of nothingness. ____________________ < / hate > |

andree: thank you for the compliment... I was unaware fo that tradition...
it is not common (that I know of) in cajun country... and I hang at
rebel's, eyecandy, alternative art adn dreamcatcher here... never seen
it... sounds like an interesting thing to introduce...
on a different, yet same note... I am allergic to the steel from most
piercing jewelry... ____________________ The earth turns on a tilted axis - just doing the best it can.

bizarrely my ear was infected for six weeks with the gold stud punched into
it when it was pierced. as soon as the cartilage was healed i changed it to
a shitty 2.99 hoop made of god knows what, solder or something probably,
and it finished healing and the infection vanished almost instantly. well,
obviously not instantly, that would have been wierd and required a special
effects budget way beyond my means.
andree, i wanna see the photo of your peice of sadhu. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.

if it was a stud just punched through, the reason for the infection was a)
they did not use a piercing needle which removes the intervening skin and
b) that it was gold... being so soft, containts microscopic scratched that

ah, well there you go then. and i was led to beleive that gold was the
cleanest most sterile piercing material. it was for that sole reason i did
not plump for the surgical steel mounted diamante option. no really. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.
