Now I know why I hate yard work! It seems I have some little plants out there that are not very user-friendly. "Leaves of three, let them be..." I have poison ivy and it itches even worse than I remember from the last time it got me. It wasn't too bad the first day or two, then it got me with a vengeance!
While I was trying to rest from walking 8 miles yesterday and 7 today, I was asked to dogsit for the sweet little lemon beagle, Biskit, who was here in the spring. Her family is moving to Ohio and she was not dealing well with the moving people, so she is spending the night with me. My howlers are happy, since I did all that walking without them and now I won't have to feel guilty for not taking them today.
Tomorrow I start teaching a new class, Introduction to the Internet. Picture a room of seniors who do not know how to use the computer. Picture teaching them to use e-mail, web sites, and how to keep off unwanted porn sites. Keep in mind, they probably can't type and don't know an ISP from a URL. Start by explaining why diskettes are called "floppies" and encourage them to show the computer no fear. It will be fun!

Hi,
I am very sorry you got poison ivy. I remember once getting it as a kid and it sure itched a lot. Are you looking forward to teaching this computer class? I think you will have fun with it. Is this at the community college?
Keep using the cream for the poison ivy and see if there is a way to get rid of that pesty plant.

Teaching that internet class seems like it'll be fun! In my eveil mind though, I thought when I read this "some of those old codgers will want to know how to FIND the porn sites!" --Albert
Girl Scout Camp and Benadryl, baby. I knew the damn nurse better than anybody. How the hell did I learn to swim and roast marshmallows? I was so drugged out.
Oh honey...poison ivy is the worse! A friend of mine has just gotten over it, and she suffered terribly!
I'm so sorry for you!

Eew, I hate poison ivy. I'm so allergic I don't even have to touch the stuff.. just being downwind is enough to make me have a reaction. And the same goes for poison oak, poison sumac, etc. Buy this stuff called Ziradryl (a liquid in a green bottle). It works great on rashes.
Hmm, I thought ALL teenagers knew how to use a computer! Are these kids from Mars or something? ¤Holly
