Sunday Evening Chat

You forgot to announce Sunday afternoon chat. You skipped right
from morning to evening chat.

Seriously, though. Doesn't every know there's a chat room
available at all times of the day and that you can check it just
like you do Usenet and email?

Is it really necessary for someone to post about it 3 times a
day?

Not everyone hangs out on irc 24/7. Sometimes we drop in to find no
one there. Others, I suspect, do the same, so we end up missing each
other. Posting in rfc that folks are in irc is just an invite. Feel
free to ignore it.

Steve, I don't even think we're going to go to the HTH at this point.

And I know I'm not going to make it. I posted something to AFB
yesterday or Friday about it.

Especially now since I'm off to the hospital for some sort of
allergic reaction. My face is all swollen and I can't open my
eyes all the way. This has been getting worse for 2 days now

ObFood: A cold hot dog right from the package for breakfast.

Could it be a food allergy, Steve? How weird. Good luck!

Don't bother trying to get through to him, nb. He's got something against
me and you can bet it's not his penis. He wouldn't have the nerve to meet
me in person; I'd say he likes women who can be pushed around and I'm not
one of them. At least this time he didn't morph his name like a troll.

By the way, baby artichokes are delicious steamed with stone crab claws 😉

Doctors are useless. They just gave me some Prednisone and
scooted me out the door. In the meantime it just gets worse.
I'll probably be back there again tomorrow.

Wanna ride together to Georgia? We can get to know each other.
It'll be fun. TFM will be there, too. You can tell him what you
think of him in person.

Killfile still broken? Trolls don't sign their names to their
posts.

I was going to tell you that they were going to prescribe you prednisone. I
figured you'd know that already, though. Darn it.

Take some Benadryl.

And if start having any difficulty breathing, or swallowing, go to the
ER fast. I hope they at least told you that.

You do. And no, I won't be driving to Georgia with you. Gonna fly there
instead 😉 Oh, sorry, not meeting you or TFM or Christy; going to visit a
friend. Might rent a car from there and drive to see my parents.

Well, we're not going, either Jill. We had an electrical fire yesterday.
Our plans for the weekend are off or at least on hold.

Doesn't this stuff make your pee pee shrink? Well, not *your*
pee pee, but my pee pee.

I wanted some pain killers, too, for the immediate itch - which
is more of a pain than an itch now. I just want to rip my skin
off so I can get down to the underlying itch.

I find it hard to believe they have nothing for itch. I've tried
the Benedryl, Benzocaine, Lanocaine, etc... We'll see who's
laughing when they send me the bill.

I'm allergic to a bunch of stuff, but I really don't think this
is an allergy. I think I came into contact with something
natural or chemical.

I'm allergic to a bunch of stuff, so I have the CostCo-size jar
of Diphenhydramine ($3.96 for 400 of them), The CostCo-size jug
of Famotadine, and a couple of the stogie-sized injections of
Epinephrine.

They should have at least gave me some Ephinephrine if they
really thought it was an allergic reaction.

I guess you heard that all the women are responsible for
slaughtering the pig, and no woman is spared the glory of
participating. I think you'd look very s3exy up there at the
butcher block.

But alas, I won't be making it either. I can't go out in public
right now anyway.

Just don't pay it. What are they gonna do? I've got medical bills up the
ying yang and I'm getting threatened to be sued by umpteen offices. I just
respond with, um, can't pay it, sorry. They tell me, "Oh, you know this is
going to affect your credit record don't you?" I just answer back with,
"Hey, I've been given less than 5 years, what do I care?" They leave me
alone now. :~)

No they shouldn't have. If you weren't going into anaphalactic shock,
why would they give that to you? Why put your heart through that
unnecessarily?
Benadryl and the prednisone should do the trick.

It's probably not useful advice,
but have you tried ice?

Another possibility is capsaicin,
for example from chili peppers.
It's called counter-irritation,
using one form of pain to distract
from another. It's used in some
topical arthritis creams. It doesn't
actually relieve the original complaint,
but it creates a sensation that draws
the attention of the brain away from it.

Camphor is used in some topical
creams for back pain, which creates
skin inflammation (which feels like
heat) for a similar purpose.
