I walked in the grass and my feet got attacked by fire ants. I am hating Texas right now.

No offense (and us hicks get it all the time when we enter the urban environment) but it kinda reminds me of the time my sister-in-law showed up at the ranch with 6 inch spike high heels. And white clothes.

1. I almost feel like a bad friend...

for not making him a list of all the things a person needs in rural Texas in the summer. And another list of things not to do...like walking through fire ant mounds. :)

6. go with your feelings...

7. *confused look*

huh?

12. Several of us told him what to take

We all said sunscreen, water, light clothing, etc. Bug repellant was mentioned for the mosquitos, but did anybody mention ants?

We had a whole thread going the other night to tell him how to stop the pain.

2. Fire Ants - I hate the fuckers

I used to dream about ways to murder them

Another reason why I'm glad that I didn't stick around Austin for long.

10. I'm grateful

we don't have the bastards in AZ - but we do have just about every other sharp, barbed, stinging, biting, poisonous or otherwise painful examples of flora and fauna there are!

3. amonia on the stings wll help a lot.. they have a little pen that works

5. Wait, you could pee on yourself

that's what they did in an episode of Friends when they needed ammonia to soothe the sting. And it worked too!

11. that was just a bunch of kinky freaks into golden showers

4. At least he has the humility to admit stuff like this.

[Kali]

8. I don't know him so I don't know if it is humility

but it might just be complaining about the PAIN.

(I got attacked by bees yesterday - got away with only three stings but they were pissed! Had them in may hair and a couple dozen made it in the house. When I told folks about it - it wasn't humility it was PAIN and bitching)
