Should have gone back to bed

My twinkies

You gotta stay flexible in life. Go write the Zinger company for a case of THEIR productlol

Or, here: Volunteer to do a taste test and ask BOTH companies to send cases

Well I haven't made it to get my Strawberries and Cream Twinkies yet but I can add to the I "should have gone back to bed" part of this thread as I was just out at my compost pile and I have found that I have a yellow jacket nest out there somewhere and I just got stung half a dozen times. The pisser is I was out there a few times earlier today in the exact same spot and didn't get stung. I now have quarter sized welts on both feet a few up my right leg and one on my right side and they all burn like HELL!!!

Wouldn't have done me any good as I just returned from the emergency room since I broke out in hives shortly after making my previous post. Benadryl gives me tachycardia so I had to go to the E.R. I have never gotten hives from getting stung by yellow jackets before but it has been a long time since I have been stung by a number of them at once. My left foot and ankle are so swollen I can't fit my shoe or sock on and it feels like I was hit with a hammer on the top of my foot and then then ankle and then set on fire. My right calf and shin feels just about the same but spread over a larger area with less pain. (I guess that is what some would call the bright side )

The idiot E.R. doctor (resident) comes in and asks me "did you get stung about an half hour ago?" and I said, "no, I have been sitting in here waiting for 1 1/4 hours and it had happened approximately 45 minutes prior to that". He then actually asked me if there was any swelling and as nicely as I could muster I told him to open his eyes before his mouth.

Well I stopped and got myself a box of Strawberry Cream Twinkies on the way home and I am going to have one or two and put some more ice on my foot and hope tomorrow (now today) is better then today (actually yesterday).

Yikes David!! you have had a crappy day. My prescription for you for today. Get a bucket of cold icy water to dunk you foot in. Sit in your favorite chair with a cold beverage and your box of twinkies. Grab your remote and stare at the tv for a few hours.

Sounds like everyone needs a "I'm going back to bed" day. I need one of those today.

Hope everyone's day is going well!

You people are just sick, everybody knows Zingers are waaaaaay better than twinkies. lol

There goes my plan of eating healthy today.

I agree with the Zingers...especially the raspberry/coconut!!!

The bucket idea sounded great until I found out I don't have one that I can fit these Yeti feet into. Besides with they way my luck is seeming to be going I would have dropped the remote in the bucket and gotten myself electrocuted, fallen back in the chair and cracked my head open and ending with the bucket being launched up in the air only to have it land over my head and hitting the bridge of my nose and breaking it. Then back to the E.R. to see Dr. Doolittle again which would only result in me getting pissed off.

I pretty much just stayed in bed since both my feet are so swollen (I even have a cankle on my right foot) and they hurt so much that I just wanted to avoid as many possibilities of hitting them on something or dropping something on them. Though I did eat all but one of my Strawberries and Cream Twinkies, which could explain the cankle.

30 years ago I was 14 years old. One of my best friends was going on vacation, and asked me if I would mow his lawns for him while he was gone, so I said sure, I could use the money. I had about 7 yards of my own at the time that I had to mow also. (Back then kids mowed lawns to make money, and we actually went outside, unlike these lazy, video game, computer kids of today) Anyway I was mowing one of his yards, and I was in the back yard mowing. I came to the back chain link fence, and it was completely covered in vines. So, I am banging into the vines, and fence with my mower, and all of the sudden, these giant bee's come flying out, and I mean ton's of them. As I ran for my life, they were all over me. I was running, and taking my shirt off at the same time, yelling, brushing them off, all while I ran. I figured I was lucky, only got stung by four of them. These bee's were as big as a quarter. They were not honey bee's. I think they call them bumble bee's, but I'm not sure. One bee stung me right next to my eye. My eye and the whole side of my face swelled up huge, I couldn't see out of that eye for days. In fact, wherever I was stung swelled up huge, all four places. I have been stung by honey bee's, wasps, and who knows what. But these bee's sure did a number on me. No other sting has affected me like these big bee's. I never went to the hospital, but I know what you feel like. Sorry for your luck. Who knows, maybe a twinkie would do you some good. lol

It was about this time last year I had a nest of Boldfaced Hornets building a nest on the soffit by my bedroom window. I was taking pictures of their progress as it went from a tennis ball sized to bowling ball sized. I would walk up it and would stand under it even extending my arms over my head being probably only 2 feet from the nest and take pictures a few times a day for weeks and then one day I was out with my dog I was about 20 feet from the nest (she was probably 75 feet from me even further from the nest) and then the damn things started stinging me. Yeah, it hurt and the half a dozen spots where I got stung were swollen but I didn't break out in hives like this.

I too did my share of lawn cutting as a kid and even as an adult and got nailed by yellow jackets (those damn ground dwellers can just pop up anywhere and really hate it when you run a mower over their house) before on a few occasions without getting hives so why it happened this time has been chalked up to my luck.

I am just hoping that my luck with as of yet never been bitten or stung by any of my many T's or scorps isn't the next things to change. (we could really use a fingers crossing smilie)

Dave, i hope to god that your luck improves and soon! If i had to deal with the doctor you had at the emergency room, i probably would have kicked him in a very sensitive place
I'm glad you enjoyed the twinkies, i finished my box in an hour and i bought another one today, lol!
And my bad luck came back today, a co-worker dropped a box of notebooks on my already sore and swollen foot

And people wonder why I say I hate doctors.

My luck is not changing as of yet. My dog keeps stepping on my feet. They are so swollen I can't fit in my shoes to protect them and my sandals don't provide much protection from a 125 lb dog.

It took me about 24 hours to eat all my twinkies but I'm not eating for three.

Hopefully your co-worker can refrain from dropping any more things on your foot.
