The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[butters]

try and do the right thing... generally, if there's a wasp indoors i try to collect them in a glass or something and a sheet of paper then release them outdoors.
this one had other ideas... i used a mug, not having a glass to hand and somehow it escaped. SO i let it be.

fucker sneaked around behind me and zapped my little finger... now looks like a damned thumb. the wasp is now dead. *fuck-around-and-find-out mode*

There she goes again. Speaking in code.
This is why Harry is so well behaved. I bet he looks around corners and hides in closets. He tells her he does it because he LOVES to watch her but we all know the truth.

The 'wasp' should never mess with butters morning cup o' hot cocoa. This 'wasp' is now fertilizer. Watch out for the hand.....I mean 'wing' that you not trip over it.

butters kill next???

Watch your step Harry. Tread lightly.

biggest reaction i've had to a wasp sting before... it spanned from the tip of my pinkie, halfway across my palm, the next finger and the middle one, down past my wrist and halfway to my elbow... all red and swollen and apart from the sting site mostly numb, like the wearing off of a dental injection. Still can't bend my pinkie far due to swelling and the palm/back of my hand beneath the pinkie and next finger is still puffy but not as bad as yesterday. From the sting site to about half an inch diagonally, there's a pale, very thin cream line under the skin... i'm assuming the sting must have traveled that way instead of straight down. fucker

Harry? he's not only safe but protected (unless he did something really bad to me, in which case history has primed me to fight back) lol

That sounds pretty bad.



That wasp deserved to be terminated with extreme prejudice.

I still remember as a little kid being stung on the face and my grandma slapping some mud on the site and ordering me not to touch it until it totally dried out.

About an hour or so later she flicked off the dried mud and voila, it was like I had never been stung.

Hopefully he'll sort it soon. It's to be expected, the house was built in 1871. It's a quirky little shit but I love it too. Including the chimney.

That's a fairly modern home, by European standards. Here? We get all jucied if it was built before 1900. Not much standing before that. Some, but not much. Unless, you're on the East Coast, I guess. But, fuck those quaker mother fuckers!

P.S. No offense to Quakers..

Speaking of knobs and whatnot, I found this actual clip of her grabbing a hold of it back in the day.

Yes. I recall it being the subject of a cautionary tale.

Current situation:

 

[juttjaw]

Add this to the list... I have developed, an acute rupture, of the plantar fascia in my left hoof. It is extremely painful and agony to walk. Obviously, it's from walking 6 to 10 miles a day, on sharp, loose, deep, 4 inch railroad balast. Doctor gave me until Monday, to return to work.. The railroad is being a little bitch about it, constantly asking me if I'm going to report it as an "on the job" injury. The upper management loses bonuses, everytime a "worker" reports. I'm not going to report it, I should, but I'm not. Shit ton of hassle for me as well. However, if it doesn't magically heal by Monday, I'm screwed. I think.

You my now resume, the regularly scheduled, innuendos and memes. Makes for fun reading whilst I'm rolling a frozen water bottle beneath my heel.

Plantar fascia is fucking debilitating, bro. I feel ya. The only thing that has worked for me is regularly changing footwear. I know most dudes just wear a pair of kicks till they are worn out. Be them sneakers or boots. I'm sure railroad work you need steel toes. Do yourself a favor though and buy at least a couple new pairs. Switch them every day.
Also a towel by your bed for the mornings. Hook it around the ball of your foot and and use it to stretch that tendon before you get out of bed. All else fails, ibuprofen up the wazzoo.

plantar fascia

That ain't going away in a long weekend. Experience is talking. One thing that will help are those Dr Scholl's heel pads for your shoes. And, don't walk around on hard floors with no shoes.

Ive had that 3 separate times. I walked barefoot on hardwood floors

w/o whisky in it?

It's just soda. Not pop


Guess it's time to house hunt maybe?

 

[y=mx+b]

I live in the parts where it's both but you never really know if it's a soda establishment or a pop establishment

They gave me some steroids. I don't know if they are working or not. New boots are coming this weekend. Sad, I spend $240 for a pair of Keens, because they are comfortable and seem to fit my feet. Just experience after a thousand pairs of boots.

It is debilitating! I can't walk anywhere, carpet or not, without shoes. I've known I had it, for awhile now. 4 months, 6 months, however long. The tendon ruptured, as far as the doc could tell. Without an mri, nothing is certain, I suppose.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try the towel trick, if I can get myself coordinated enough in the morning.
