Saint Genevieve Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Seriously, what could be worse than waking from a sound sleep to your baby girl screaming that something is "cutting" her under her shirt, ripping her shirt off, and finding the wasp that had stung her 15 times. I guess wasps aren't like bees - stinging doesn't kill them. Poor Sarah. Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Still waiting for a good reason. just a few quick ones that come to mind: 1. He's not tied to special interests or party affiliation2. Seems to have a strong focus (and fresh ideas) on education (wants to let teachers have more of a say in how education is run rather than a bloated, self-serving bureaucracy), healthcare and renewable energy, items which have been lying in the gutter for the most part in our state under Perry3. Wants to treat drugs as more of a health problem than a crime problem.4. Illegal immigration: (from an article on his site:) "His plans for illegal immigration include increasing the number of Texas National Guard troops on the border (from the current 1,500 to 10,000), imposing $25,000 and $50,000 fines on companies that hire illegal immigrants and requiring foreign nationals seeking employment to purchase a foreign taxpayer ID card once they have passed a criminal background check."5. He's not Rick Perry, Carole Keeton Strayhorn or Chris Bell. Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 What's the status of your hive situation? It's coming along quite nicely. The last battle took place about 2 weeks ago. I finally enlisted my Dad's help, and convinced him that standing right underneath the gap in the siding (and inhaling 2 cans of wasp/hornet spray) would be a good thing for him to do. Two nights later, the little fuckers were taking off and landing again like nothing happened. Since the temp has dropped, though, I haven't seen much activity. This weekend I'm planning to jam a couple dozen tubes worth of caulk in there and hopefully suffocate them all. Link to post Share on other sites
jhc Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thats hilarious. 1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet & reaching for the light switch. 1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek. pretty big jump from 1.2 to 1.8 eh? Link to post Share on other sites

darkstar Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The worst sting I ever got was from a Portuguese Man-of-War. That is One hell of a nasty sting right there. People have been zapped so bad from those things they end up drowning. The venom in their stinger can still mess you up even after the animal is dead. Link to post Share on other sites
JUDE Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That wasp story is going to give me nightmares. P.S. I used to own a WASP - Animal (F*** Like a Beast) 12" picture disc. In 9th grade English class, we were supposed bring in a song to play for the class and explain what the lyrics meant to us. My friend brought in his WASP cassette and played F**k Like a Beast. When asked why he played that song and what he felt the meaning of the lyrics were he just replied "well it's cool, it's about F**kin." Link to post Share on other sites
