Yes, to my leg. A bad spider bite, perhaps. Not good, whatever it is.

I hope Greg is going to open chat. <hint, hint>


A curse on that spider, all it's offspring will have sixteen legs.

Evo, are you in some sort of "stealth" mode? You seem to be "offline" and not in the active list on the main page, yet you're shown as an active "Mentor" for this forum.

Greg seems to be the opposite; he's shown as online but proof of his continuing existence is somewhat tenuous at the moment.

Evo's always in stealth mode. It's how she sneaks up on people!

Spiders can be pretty potent. I was bitten on the base of my middle finger (between that one and the index finger) while I was sleeping one night about 15 years ago, and my finger swelled up. The bite scarred and I still have two prominent red bumps there from the fang-marks. We don't have Brown Recluse spiders, but that guy sure packed a punch. My friend got bit while we were crawling around under his barn replacing sills and leveling the foundation. He never felt the bite, but by the second or third day, he had an angry black bruise on his back over a foot across.

Heck, it should be a bylaw that spiders have to be muzzled in public places.

If this is a spider bite, all spiders will be muzzled from now on.

Someone has kidnapped Greg and stolen his computer!

I have a nephew and a cousin that are gay, but neither of them refer to their partners as husbands. Hmm.

So that is why no one gets them, those things are all ways breaking down.

Time for Greg to reappear to close the ... er ... chat?

(And nearly time for me to go watch some meaningless TV).
 
  • #59


Are stamps a federal thing, or does each state print its own? I understand that US Post works in all US and I suppose stamps printed in Alaska are valid in Florida, but is their printing/production centralized?
