Proof positive Unebug is some sort of a sadomasochist.

She likes the abuse.

I'm so glad you are back dr. bill. :)

My greatest fears. Well, I'm a worry wart so I have more than a few. But there are a few big ones.

I have a fear that I will end up being the 'wierd cat lady down the street' when I get old. You know. The one who has like 50 cats and no one knows she died until the smell creeps into the neighborhood. Dark, I know, but you asked.

I have a fear of rape and serial killers. I've taken self defense, I now own a gun, and I don't take many risks at all, but it's still a fear. I check the locks on my door at least 10 times before I go to bed, including the patio door. Even though it is three floors up.

Oh and I have a fear of poison ivy. :) I've been working in East Texas this week and have been surrounded by it. I've never had it before. Maybe I should just roll around in the stuff and get it over with, then it won't be so scary. :)

Would not recommend it, if are allergic, you will be getting it, and it won't be a pleasant experience. There is also poison oak. It isn't quite as contagious as far as spreading, but it more than makes up with the burning itch.

Dem if you have never had poison ivy you are probably not allergic to it. People get poison ivy when they do not even see it sometimes, like smoke or roots. Stop worrying about that. If you get it then say, "Unebug was wrong and I should worry." But think how long I went without gtting it. Haven't you ever gone potty outside at night in the woods? Oh Texas doesn't have many woods..... Enjoy. You have to really worry about snakes.

The snakes do not bother me. They prefer to leave us alone, and vice versa. It's the little critters that can give me the creeps. I'm not afraid of spiders, but they crawl up in your clothes and bite the crap out of you later. Snakes don't do that. Then there are the ticks. They get in some hideous places and the bites take forever to heal.

I only seem to have one patch of poison ivy on my hand at this point. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Actually the mosquito bites are annoying me more than the poison ivy. Those suckers ate me up in spite of my bug repellant. They just looked for places where I didn't get much repellant. Like my ears, forehead, the back of my arms. Little bastards.

It's times like these when banking starts looking a little better. Then I go home and get all cleaned up, the bites heal, and I remember I wouldn't want to be doing anything else for a living anyway.
