Fire ants

For the past several days I've been suffering the effects of getting bit multiple times by those little bastards known as fire ants.

I got bit on Sunday (while putting up signs), and now it's Tuesday, so that's three days worth of suffering. Three days of hell.

You should see my hand.

I have a stronger than usual reaction to fire ant bites--to the point where you can literally see the pustules growing. I used to carry a bottle of vinegar in my truck in the event I got bit, because I'd read somewhere that rubbing vinegar on the bites can neutralize the stings. (It works if you do it immediately.) I actually did it once, and to my amazement, it worked. Somewhere along the way, though, I got rid of the vinegar, and I suffered for it Sunday.

And Monday. And Tuesday.

Right after I got bit, I ran across the street to a convenience store, frantically searching for a bottle of vinegar, knowing I had only about a minute, at the most, to neutralize the stings.

No vinegar at the store, dammit. So I bought a bottle of Tabasco sauce. And walked outside. And poured it over my hand. (Tabasco has vinegar in it.)

But it was too late; the pustules were already growing.

My friend Bill suggested I put salt over the bites to draw out the poison. (Why not?) So I walked back inside the store, got some salt, walked back outside and poured it all over my hand. Anyone wandering by at that moment would have thought I was crazy: my hand was now dripping with Tabasco sauce, and covered in salt.

Monday at work I was totally nauseous. I couldn't eat. I had chills. The toxins were taking their toll.

I went to the health food store after work and got a bottle of the most potent stuff they had for colds and flu. It tasted like poison, but I was told it would work for ant bites. I went right to bed after sipping that horrible stuff. I was exhausted.

Tuesday I woke up feeling 50% better. By Tuesday afternoon I was 80% better. As I write this I am 90% better. With every key stroke, though, I am reminded how much my hand itches, and how much I dislike fire ants.

Darcy Honeylist: once you leave here you will log in at a Welcome area
Darcy Honeylist: Until you have your own land or somewhere else you can set your home to
Darcy Honeylist: you can also opt to log in at the last place you left
Darcy Honeylist: to be honest I don't like the welcome areas much
Darcy Honeylist: too crowded there
Soy: i would love to be welcomed, sorry
Darcy Honeylist: when you leave here you won't be able to come back to this island but we do have a public Help Island

SL/Babbler 2.22

We were at the shop to get a robot bartender for my pool.

The proprietor of the shop was a French man who didn't speak English. Thanks to a HUD called 'the Babbler,' we had no trouble understanding him:

SL/Light and Smoke

At the end of a tunnel in a spooky castle there was a pitch-dark room that I couldn't find my way out of, so I teleported a few tokers in to shed some additional light. Yumi didn't bring her smokes--for some reason--just her bling, which was illuminating, but distracting, considering she wore it on parts of her body that she liked to dance with, and dance she did: The effect was like a miner's helmet being worn by a miner being attacked by a bear; I ended up having more light in my eyes than on the walls. Ferguso brought a Cuban cigar that he said would look impressive while he smoked it, and smoke it he did, right to the nub. There was so much smoke in the room by the time he got done it cancelled out any light. But he did look good smoking it.
Yetrates' pet alien Bleep was still in the tunnel, and when he shouted that he was coming in to help us, I told him to bring us a fatty.
Eventually there was so much smoke in the room that whoever was on the other side of that tunnel got tremendous blowback.

SL/4.20 x 420

'Stoners nite' at Hooters-n-Shooters

DJ Elle is officiating. Meanwhile, Yetrates is releasing some kind of mints into the air, in increasing intervals. Intense, I tell her.
She is also holding a bong, wielding it like a light saber, and knighting several people with it.
Meanwhile, Elle giggles, and re-giggles.
She is dancing on top of glass, mind you, fish beneath her sneakers. No way would she would wear high heels tonight and risk injuring a fish by breaking the glass by dancing too much. There hasn't been a fish injury in the history of Second Life--as far as anyone knows--and DJ Elle isn't going to be the first one (to injure one).

I see what color underwear Yet is wearing: Squash. There is a similar-colored fish swimming in the tank. I want to eat it.

No I don't. Yes I do--if it's edible, which I don't think it is.

Noticing the mints now more than ever, especially the big, stationary one on my screen. The mint is sparkly; I like that. I want to eat it (too). I like it when a mint is sparkly. That means the mint has mint on it. The mint has little flecks of mint on it.

Yummy.

I love sucking the mint flecks off of mints I do I do I do.

(: Or at least trying to :)

Brb, famished.

SL/Let's Go

R.I.P. Dusty's


We were in 173, 214, 27 (Mature), otherwise known as "Peace," otherwise known as the home of Dusty's Nightclub, which was missing--unfortunately--and since I couldn't locate it in Search, I'll now refer to it as the home of the departed Dusty's Nightclub.

The ground was still there, though.

"We must give illegal party at this spot lol" said Yetrates.
/
I'm not so sure it's a good idea to hold a party on the spot of a departed nightclub--illegal or not, tribute or not--I told her.

I told Yet to put her sound effects away--temporarily.

"We must first consult the experts," I said.

SL/Bongo-ism(s)

There is nothing like a well-worded Invite. Here is Bongo Oldbull's:

GET THOSE POCKET PROTECTORS CLIPPED ON, MESS YOUR HAIR UP, YANK YOUR PANTS UP THE CRACK OF YOUR ASS AND HEAD ON DOWN TO HOOTERS FOR GEEK NIGHT WITH THE HOT BODIED KALIA ROCKIN' THE JOINT 4-6! WE'RE GIVING AWAY A 300L SPLIT TO THE BIGGEST MALE AND FEMALE GEEK! AD SPACE FOR RENT NOW!

I think I needed to add more story to the Monday Time Zone story below (4 or 5 entries down) called "True Love," so I did.

I hope you like it.

Later at the pool that stick was brought out again by Yet. I noticed it was a stem, not a stick.

Underneath the huts is where I got trapped once Jenny released the floor. I was amazed. The rooms went on forever. Finally Jenny sent down a box (with Waelya on top) for me to cling to, to rescue me from the maze.















Update: Yetrates tells me she was the one who sent the box down, not Jen. Sorry for any confusion. Also, Yetrates told me she went on Free Cam and got down into the labyrinth with us to push us out. Wow.

Electric Blue




This guy was at the "best in blue" contest at H-n-S. Notice he appears to be all neon.

SL/True love

True lovers, she sat in England, he sat in New York. Both of them dreaded Mondays. And, being true lovers, he sat with her, in a pad in Second Life, as her clock changed in England to Monday.








True Love pt. 2

Five hours later she awoke to join her lover as he experienced Monday.
"It's okay, love--it's okay." These words were expressed by the lady in London to her New York lover. Ten seconds passed. "You know what, I think you're gonna make it" she gushed at him.
"Yes, I think I am," said the man in New York. "Monday blues got-a hold o' me but I'm still alive."
"Exactly," said the woman in London. "Forty-five seconds into Monday and you're a survivor!"
"Nice," replied the man. "I'm a survivor-winner."
"Exactly," said the woman, again.
Five minutes passed.
"Time for bed again, love."
"Time for bed the first time, love."
"Exactly," they both said at once.

Sl/Ok


[19:36] Sandi Heckroth: What's the last best thing you learned?


[19:36] Patric Styrian: that the world is flat.

SL/Body Language/

I have a Photoboard in my house that displays pictures. Anyone can add or subtract pics from the board.
If you touch a pic, it blows up to full size, another nice feature.
Here is a blown up picture of Yetrates, who just won a race.
l
Milo was at the house and immediately went (Away), so we were able to use the board as a comparison piece of his hair "Before" and "After" he met his fiance, Kaca.
..
Yetrates left and invited me to a car dealership. While there, she kept telling me the "Citroen was for" me. I am not as big into cars as she is--I really don't know what a Citroen is--so I went to get something from the real life refrigerator, and when I came back, I saw Milo was at the dealership, too, already (Away).
Milo has been spending an inordinate amount of time (away) since he met his girlfriend. It is affecting his ability to stand up straight.

Horse Encounters at H-n-S
At Hooters 'n' Shooters history was (perhaps) made when a horse on the dance floor was cautiously introduced to a sea horse.

SL/Rarer sighting than Bigfoot

SL/Concierge

I love playing Hotel Concierge. When Journey the dog came into the lobby, I was able to inform him that his Master had come looking for him, and to have a nice night.
One lady wanted to be teleported four times...and I arranged every one of them for her.
Another guy was so tired of flying, he had to check in for the night. I put him in a special chamber first, where no light was allowed in, and zero sound, so his lag would disappear. Once he settled down, I showed him to his room.
One lad I had to chew out because he did not understand the concept of "tipping."
One lass was broke and needed a room, so I paid her $50L to get us one.

I learned the concierge oath: "Every customer has needs, and so do we all."

SL/Attempt to locate Swamp Monster pt. 2

/
/
/
I went to Pappy Enoch's "office," expecting to find him there, but he wasn't in. Pappy's yard was basically empty; only his junk remained.
/
I invited Yetrates over for a quick stakeout.
It wasn't Pappy we were after, necessarily, it was the swamp monster he's been blogging about.
Pappy's been describing a swamp monster that's been harassing him and he's offered $100L for its pic (and to prove he hasn't been oversampling his own moonshine).
Speaking of shine, we found plenty of evidence that Pappy left in a hurry.

I didn't want to get near his still-hot still, though, for fear of boobytrappment. Although I did notice a sign welcoming "Stew-dints."

Out of the corner of my eye I saw water, then movement. I told Yet to turn around, expecting to see a swamp (and a swamp monster); instead we saw dolphins. I told Yetrates it was not out of the realm of possibilities to see dolphins in a swamp.
It was dark out, and we couldn't tell for sure, but Yetrates assured me we were looking at the ocean.
I reminded her that the Gulf-of-Mexico has about a million dolphins in it, and feeding into the Gulf is the Everglades, so it's very possible that dolphins could end up in a swamp.
I suggested we find out. The boat wasn't working, though, which led to brief stoner talk:
