Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

But they spill so many cookie crumbs...
I WAS SO CAREFUL! So much hand washing! So much opening doors with my sweater.
dont feel bad, my mother is a kindergarten teacher, and has been for over 35 years, she started back this week. she is not sick(has almost perfect immunity) but I now have a summer cold! @_@
 
This will sound horribly paranoid of me, but I avoid certain school events when I’m fresh off an immune suppression treatment. Hell no!!
I'm surprised you don't make your kids take a bath in Listerine when they come home from school. Or at least dip their hands for 5 minutes. Or something.

It's poison ivy. I was being: :tina:

It's the first time I've had it. It sucks. Elbow to wrist on one arm and knees to ankles on both legs. Good times.
I feel you. I am, apparently, *allergic* to poison ivy. The last time I got it, it spread over most of my body, and because I touched my face before I realized what was going on, my face swelled up to the point I couldn't open my eyes. It was bad.

I used to camp all the time when growing up. I've never had poison ivy. And not because I'm smarter than anyone, I just never ran into it. Not sure how considering all the shit we used to do.

I never got it while camping either. Ironically, I got it from the wooded area behind my grandparents' house.
 
Poison ivy is one of those things that really depends on your past exposure and the quantity you’re exposed to. Your first exposure is usually negligible, it’s the second one they tell you to watch out for, once your body knows what to look out for.

All the times I've caught poison ivy, oak, and/or sumac (there have been a lot), it was never camping. My own yard, softball fields, the outer-edges of our elementary school, even from dogs. Stupid ninja plant loves to get you when you least expect it. The Spanish Inquisition WISHES it was this efficient.

So I'm in the bathroom about 15 minutes ago. I'm sitting down if that's a good way of saying why I was there. Now, I always have my phone with me, but the ONLY person I'd answer a call from while I was that indisposed would be my sister. The only time she ever calls is when something has happened to my mom. The phone rings. I'm all alone in the bathroom so I pick it up. She wants to meet Saturday to go over insurance stuff. Of course, as soon as I answer the damned thing three people walk in. So here's me in a stall answering in short, monosyllabic words just to hurry her off. Nope. She wants to chat. And ask questions.

I HATE it when people talk on their phones on the toilet. I have become that which I hate.
