In an attempt to find out what is causing these allergic reactions, I am now typing with gloves on. The last week or so I have had red little spots on my hands. Yesterday was the worst reaction I have had to date. My entire left hand was swollen and covered in itchy bumps. Luckily with Benadryl and cortizone they have calmed down. Yet here I am, hoping these gloves irritate my hands and duplicate the reaction from yesterday. Switching out soaps and also try to eliminate a food allergy as well, but it takes time to single out the cause. I don't think a doctor will help other than stick me with a million needles and give me a long list of things I’m allergic to similar to the allergy test I took years ago.
I see the sunlight! Seriously it has been over a week since I've seen the rays. No death for me in the light, only a glimmering hope that some of this blasted snow might melt.
How will I be spending Christmas? The answer -We will be barricaded inside with the heater cranked and thankful that our pantry is stocked up.
WIDESPREAD BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO OVERSPREAD THE EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY AND LOWER SNAKE RIVER PLAIN OVERNIGHT. VERY STRONG SOUTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH WILL DEVELOP AND REMAIN STRONG THROUGH CHRISTMAS MORNING. BANDS OF SNOW ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WITH LOCALLY HEAVY ACCUMULATIONS. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND SNOW COVERED ROADS WILL BE THE RULE ACROSS THE AREA... AND TRAVEL WILL BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. STORM TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES ARE FORECAST FOR THE REGION THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY.
A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SNOWFALL WILL COMBINE WITH GUSTY WINDS TO CREATE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND SLICK ROADWAYS. TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE WARNED AREA.

It's 60 and raining here lol
Stay warm and keep safe!
Warm and cozy sounds good...Merry Christmas.
You got a snowicane a comin'!!! That's awesome...I'm jealous :(
Snowmagedon! Woo-hoo! It hit us this last week :D Ihope you have tons of cocoa and rum :D
Isn't it just great living where we do.........this is the worse winter we've had in decades...
Oh how I am dreading this venture.
Last night I braved the outdoors and my car got stuck not once or twice, but three times. Three times someone I didn't know came to my rescue and made sure I was freed. Three times in the course of an hour that I knew that I was blessed. If there wasn't a G*d looking out for me, there was my fellow man- and that spirit of kindness is enough to warm anyone in these cold times.
Here I go again out into the snow. First some pre-emptive shoveling just to be able to pull the car out. Drifts between 1-2 feet, not to mention the piles of snow politely discarded by the snow plow trapping us in.
Meh...
Where did my little gloves go?

Hey it's the Vampire Rave theme song! Do you have the album "pot calling kettle black"?
Oh what a great album -I loved Psychotic Cyber Fairytale Life"!
Personally I'm up for listening to, "The voices told me to wish you a Merry Yule and other creepy stalker Holiday tunes."

Damn :(
Too bad we don't live near by... we have these really small space heaters we bought for 10 bucks a piece last winter- and they completely heat even large rooms. We keep one going in our garage for our outside cat during the winter and it even keeps it warm in there.
o_O hope you get warmed up soon!

Tonight has been a wonderful evening full of music and good company with my pup and Sevenn.
My father wanted some cds burned for Christmas, so I've been tracking down music like Journey, The Doors, Beach Boys, Pink, the Beatles, Jewel, and a host of other artists. Since I have to check the quality of all the files, I've been forced to listen to all of the 50+ songs on his list.
Right now it is the theme song to Rocky by Maynard Ferguson. Definately putting some more Beatles onto my IPOD.. and maybe even Chicago and Queen. While I might not keep all these song for my own collection there are plenty of shared musical interests between me and my dad. It definately makes me miss him.

That's an awesome way to stay connected.
It is good to share things large and small with those you love. :)
Thats just sweet..
The bat in the Power Punks header just told me, "You have 39 Friends. Why not look for some more?"
Are my 39 friends not good enough????
That bat though is pretty cute.
COMMENTS
Maybe it is a good idea that the bat is not in the parrot family, or maybe he does say that to you every time you see him? If so, it is not a natural occurence to have a bat in the parrot family...
I bet he gets a bonus if you add more friends. Can is he pimping you out? O.o

Meh > waste of a burger.
I bet they hauled him off in handcuffs while he still raged on to her, "You want fries with that?!"
"Asauceted" comes to mind but I know that would be a bad pun lol.
Hey don't ya'll have food fights? *smirks*
I bet she was not Mac Happy.
;)
You come down- we promise not to throw a dead cow at ya.

That is our logic too. Hands definately worse post glove experiment than before. Maybe latex issues. Those gloves are currently in the trash can. I can only help that this was the sole cause.

The doctor told him that it was an allergic reaction, that came about with repeat exposure to the same allergen.

Ok- the image of Lady C comments just makes me think.... if his hands was having a reaction...what of his...you know... other body part. ;)
Hope this problem worked itself out. And it be sad if it was allergic reaction to a certain food you love? *thinks of chocolate* Gods... I hope it turns out to being something simple Meep.
