OT: Guess what I've got, NPC Options

[VaccaRabite]

I've got Lymes Disease. Again.

weeeeeeeeeeee.

Went to the docs today to get my throat looked at, as it has been sore for a while, and I recently started sneezing and hacking up a lung.

By coincidence, I looked at my leg last night and noticed a red lump with a rash starting to form around it. I know that THAT is.

So after my exam for the sore throat, the doc asked, "any thing else?"
I said, "Yeah, check this out!" and showed him the bulls eye.
He said, "Huh, I've been seeing a lot more of this this year. Time to get you on some drugs."

So, yeah. My joints are starting to ache now. I'm so awesome.

The good news is that the drugs that will kill the Lymes, will also take care of the sore throat.

If you live in the Mid Atlantic (where it is becoming epidemic) , please keep an eye out for signs of Lymes Disease. If caught early, its no big thing. But if it goes undetected, it will make life hell, and then might kill you.

One the good side of things. I used my time off today to put my pedal cluster back togethre. It looks really good!

Zach,

Hope you get well soon. Those little buggers really freak me out. We have deer that come through our yard and my garden every night.

I've gotten 2 brown ticks on me this year but no deer ticks. Brown ticks aren't as bad as deer ticks and are much larger.

I avoid tall grass when possible but doing things like golfing sometimes requires hikes through the tall stuff. I guess I should try to keep the ball in the fairway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

We were hanging at my Bro's place when my 25 year old nephew started scratching behind his knee and said he felt a bump. He pulled it off and looked at it; it was tiny. We couldn't tell what it was until my brother got his binoculars and turned them around to be a magnifying glass. Sure as shit, it was a deer tick. He got it golfing.

Just for a little tick humor, several years ago we were at a friends house and he found a tick on his dog. We brainstormed of how to remove the tick without ripping the head off.

We wanted the tick to back itself out so it would be easily removed. Our first method was rubbing alcohol. Wetted the tick down and waited, nothing.

Then we thought heat will do it. So we got a match, lit it and applied some heat. Unfortunately we ignited the alcohol and set the dog on fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif)

After putting the dog fire out, we just pulled the tick off.
