Still moving at a snail's pace. I actually have one picture up now. No clue where to put anything. I find mysef running in circles looking for things I know I put away, but can't remember where.

I tried moving a small tv yesterday. Mistake. Fortunately I got it back onto the table without dropping it.

I don't have any wood for the fireplace, but I can see pieces down near the creek. I'm considering crawling down there, but will I be able to climb back up and over the rocks carrying wood in my one good arm?

Sounds like a good idea to me.
No! Not a good idea! I forbid you! Find someone expendable. :biggrin:

Why don't you get one of those "rent-a-husband" for a couple days?



did you get rid of the fleas?

either that, or you were rolling around in the grass and got chiggers--were the bites under the strap/belt/elastic (latex) areas?----they love tight areas--that's where they stop and burrow in

No, but I killed a large spider and the bites stopped.

maybe the spider had chiggers and gave them to you

Great, now we'll have a week of her signature reading, "It's NOT chiggers!" :biggrin:

OK, we have to make up a new sig for Evo. I suggest "I'm not having psychosomatic insect bites" or perhaps "I ain't crazy dammit!" Do you have a preference? After watching "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" last night, I don't want to put Evo in the clutches of a nurse Ratched. :eek:

Maybe it's Morgellon's! :rolleyes: :biggrin:

AAAAH! If you get colored curly little hairs emerging from scabby sores, you are hereby officially dis-invited from any redneck matchmaking process, and you will certainly not be welcome to visit, even if you can split and stack 3-4 cords of wood a day.

are you saying, 'nobody can touch Evo'?


(are those red spots gone yet, evo?---the red chigger bites last about a week or so)
 
  • #251
The spots are almost all gone.

:cry: I don't have cooties. :cry:

It was a spider the size of a dinner plate. I swear. I told that to a guy who was a spider expert once, that there was a spider the size of a small dinner plate outside my house and a neighbor had to come over and kill it with a shovel.

He said ..."no".

Yeah huh, it was huge and all the neighborhood kids were screaming. :cry:

<sniff> I need a man.

I like the live cams especially

you should have had that place 'debugged' before you moved in

(and if you look real close -----






you can see the chiggers on the spider---chiggers can jump about four feet when they see specifically a woman in white)

HEY!----did you take a photo of the spider?



(or is it another one of those 'hawk' things?)

How could anyone harm such a beautiful creature. Looks like a huntsman. I have them in my berry patch. Great for controlling large insects.

The neighbor's kids wouldn't stop screaming, so their father came over and whacked it with a shovel.

did you move near a nuclear power plant or a nuclear waste storage facility?

(check the levels in that creek by your house)


---oh, yeah---find that camera--you may see a six legged deer (we'd definitely need proof)

I won't even tell you what happened yesterday, but I am able to walk now, still pretty painfull though.

The Child of Evo is supposed to come over and get some of those thingies that are SUPPOSED to hold heavy shelves of dishes UP as opposed to them breaking and knocking each lower shelf off in a domino effect. I'm wondering just how many pounds crashed down on me that I was able to hold up and lift out while I was bent in a very awkward position (damn I am strong). Only one dish (and my back) broken.

Hey did I mention I found a feather that might belong to that hawk?
