Right now I'm telling Hermie I always go get a shot from my brother when I get poison ivy and some cream (I'll have to dig and see what he gave me).

Right now, I'm agreeing with Serate. Chlorine bleach seems to dry out poison ivy better than anything although I never scratched it first.

right now, burning poison ivy or poison oak plants is the worst way to get rid of them. people for miles around can get a reaction from the stuff being in the air...we had a neighbor burn a large section of poison oak plants once (everyone else knew better, but he was new to the area) and the entire population on the hill got poison oak! BAD cases! it's the ONLY time i ever got poison oak, although my parents and siblings were always getting the rashes. when the neighbor burned the poison oak, people got it so bad their eyes were swollen shut, some of them had their throats also close up to where they were barely able to sip liquids through straws, etc. so, i don't find it at all unusual that someone got a reaction through it being burned...i find it unusual that more people didn't get it! right now, landi, we are expecting another day of this high heat. i wish i were working since i could sit in the pro shop in front of the a/c and have it be someone else's expense! dd is working today and i have to clean my room and catch up on laundry. dh is outside, polishing the motorhome. i don't expect he will get it all done in one day. too hot and too much work. right now, i am bummed about something my boss told me (in 'Strictest Confidence') and that i can't share with any co-workers...there are going to be some very unhappy campers (workers) sept 1 when this 'thing' happens...i am not excited about this change that will take place, but will tell you all what it is and how it's going when wednesday rolls around...

Right now I am hoping that the bad news at Tabbyking's work is NOT that the owners found out that Tabbyking is perfectly capable of running the entire place by herself, including the restaurant, so they are letting everybody else go.

right now i want to thank everyone that offered suggestions on recognizing and dealing with poison ivy. my nephew and i went on a hike yesterday in his backyard. his parents bought a new house and their backyard edges on several acres of suburbian wilderness. it is awesome! there is a creek with lots of big rocks, and all these little trails made by kids exploring. it goes by the railroad tracks and it has little hills and valleys. it is a little pocket of paradise! of course, there is poison ivy. and probably snakes. but we are hardy troopers and not easily fazed by such trifling things. my sister told us to be careful of the poison ivy and tried to explain to me what it looked like. we got totally dirty exploring. we slid down this hill that was almost nothing but clay just to get to the railroad tracks. and we tramped through lots of foliage. then when we got back home, my nephew had all these little bumps over his calves. but it must have been insects or mosquitoes because it turned out not to be poison ivy, thank heavens! but we will definitely be going back out there, so all of this is good to know just in case! right now i am getting ready to go to a vegetarian festival! i am not a vegetarian, but my cats' vet is and he invited me and i have a tiny crush on him so.... naturally i'm going. i think he is hoping to convert me!

right now, whoooo hooooo, hermi; i remember several months back you mentioning this attractive vet!! speaking of which, bootsie goes in to get his package done up tomorrow LOL i wish the work news was that i was being put in charge! i have a feeling dd and i will just be doing all the work when some other people get miffed and quit. at this point, i am not happy at all about what is going to happen. i will let you all know the details soon.....but i am miffed after just being their 5 months, so i can imagine how the employees who have been there 15 years are going to take the change......

right now, hi reader! oh gidget, i don't mind traveling by myself, but roadtrips with friends are the very best! family trips sometimes suck! at least until you get where you are going...oh, maybe i shouldn't have watched "johnson family vacation" tonight! well, off to bed, so i can have bootsie in to be 'tutored' in the morning. i never tell my male pets they are going in to be neutered or i have to search for them for hours to get them into the carrier!

right now i am wondering why it is so cold in reader's neck of the woods. it is already steamy here and shaping up to be a sauna. i dont know why i thought moving further inland i would escape humidity. there are so many trees and still undeveloped land in my new area that is a bit of a shock to me too

Right now when does the Today show tape the 100th birthday segments? Juju needs to tape Williard, (or is Al doing it sometimes now?) saying happy birthday to Momma on Sept 2! I flip channels and watch all the morning talk shows - I know that the Today has an extended hour, but I remember it being more at the top of the hour around 8ish??

Right now I am very happy Last May we had a huge layoff as our marketing plans were failing. The guy of 5 years was not using the data we recieved to target specific customers. The CEO knew I had direct mail experience and asked if I could create a program to help this guy make better descisions. Within a week of me working and planning with him, he got pissed and walked (He thought I wanted his job..ummm no..I like the current one I have and I know nothing about marketing..just data and programming) Anyway, when he walked I took over the data end and another lady took over the marketing pieces. I have been doing this since May plus still holding down my full time position as DBA/DBProgrammer for the company. It's been hard as heck and extremely frustrating at times. Our calls have gone from 200 a month to 1200+ with all solid leads. 83% of our apps are approved and we are funding more and more loans. Today, I came to my desk and there was a card from the lady who took over the marketing pieces. It said "Zachsmom (okay NOT Zachsmom) I want to thank you for your all your work you have done. The phones are ringing off the hook. <Insert company name> would not be where we are today without your skill and knowledge..I couldn't have done it without you...Thank you!" I have been working my butt off..and though the CEO and my boss have been giving me bonuses and special treats, never once has there been a Thank you. Right now I don't feel so much pressure
