More weeds
Crush my weeds
See them ripped out before me
And see the fermentation
Of their rotting stems…

Saturday, July 10th, is national Clarihew day. I learned that today. I also learned that a Clarihew is a form of poetry.

"As with most poetry, the Clerihew is defined by a set of rules. It must:
I had a friend named Reggie Thoreau
Who travelled often on his burrow,
One day he landed in the grass,
Because he failed to mind his ***.
A quiet man named scooter,
Was a quiet tooter,
One day he strained too hard, alas,
And he found his gas had mass.
I met a girl named Flo,
Who had a certain glow.
I got to know her as we dated,
And found myself irradiated.

It's really horrendous when that happens... I think the combination of anonymity, 'safe distance' to hurl judgement without consequence, insecurity, the limited communication vehicle of forums/words, and narrow perception of MA makes it potentially volatile...
Especially when someone is so proud of their achievements, it's easy to overlook the humanity of it and focus solely on strange invented "measurables" of whether something is legit or valuable... and honing in solely on a name of a school is bizarre... :s
Hahaha... have not heard of that poetry style, fancy that!Saturday, July 10th, is national Clarihew day. I learned that today. I also learned that a Clarihew is a form of poetry.

So today, in anticipation of the Clarihew's big day, I wrote a few Clarihew poems:
- Include four lines.
- Contain rhyming couplets of AA/BB.
- Include a person’s name in the first line.
- Say something about that person.
- Be humorous. It is meant to be a funny poem, of course."

Fun fact, the declaration was actually signed on August 2nd.
'I am going to be blunt' is code for 'I am a jerk and going to be as rude as I possibly can without violating rules'

Translate has gotten much better, years ago it was a lot of fun seeing what imaginative translations it came up with for Chinese.
Had a co-worker once who wanted to call me a "wise guy" in Chinese, in an email. So he went to translate....Google translate came up with 强奸犯 (Qiángjiān fàn). I not being exactly sure what that meant asked my wife who then aske me....why is he calling you a "rapist". To this day I harass him about that
Found a tick on me. Likely been there either since sunday or wednesday (the two times recently I was in grassy/wooded areas). Was hiding right inside the crook of my knee. It already had it's fill I'm pretty sure, since it was no longer attached when I saw it, and have a slight rash/bump that's hopefully just skin agitation. Fun stuff.

Haven't had a tick for years, but if I remember right, if you put a little Vaseline on them they let go on their own.
They might. I've gotten a bunch of them over the years, always use tweezers gently. I was told back in boy scouts using a match or vaseline or any of those things increase risk of infection (during the bite, you can use vaseline afterwards).
In reality though I don't think it matters that much considering how long it's been on me. If it had anything to infect me with I've probably already got it.

I'm definitely not a doctor! You're probably better able to mess with it than me.

what type of tick? there is more than lyme disease out there from tick bites, watch for a read rash and a fever.
I thought I got bit by a tick and got tested, then the panic ensued. My MD wanted me to go to an infection control specialist ASAP, because the test showed I hd Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Also showed I had mononucleosis, which I was never exposed to. Lyme disease can show up as a mild case of mono in testing. I was pit on medication
Infection control specialist told me I didn't have it, I had it before, because I had the antibodies. He then asked me if I could remember when I had a red skin rash with a horrible fever. I said I have no idea. To which he said, so you did not know you had it, and you were not treated for it. "well then, congratulations you lived." most people who get it, and go untreated die. It comes from a bite from a dog tick and after much thinking, the only time I can ever remember having a tick on me was way back in the late 1970s.
Years ago, we had a guy from Chicago transfer into our unit. We were out in a field working and got chiggers.
He asked me what we do to get rid of them. My answer.....get a tub of Crisco Shortening and rub it all over your body. It will get the chiggers off and stop the itch.
Next day, he comes in complaining that he was still itching and the Crisco didn't work. I told him I was just kidding and wanted to see if I could get him to cover himself in Crisco, lol.

Chiggers are the worst.
Crisco shortening.....all over your body. Gets rid of them and stops the itch almost instantly.
