AmadanNaBriona Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings (I'll carry a black widow outside, but yellow jackets are one of the few beasties that don't get the kindness pass) Right there with you on that. heh... random semi amusing life experience... I was working at a USFS tree nursery for a season or so, and one fine day, while we made our way from base to the field we were working, one of my less-than-bright co-workers was bitten by a wasp. He got pissed, looked around for the culprit and spotted a collection of wasps on the ground. I kinda slid away to the nearest hose, because sometimes I have these funny premonitions about stupid actions. Sure enough, the git decided to avenge himself on the wasps with his shovel. The hose turned out to be handy, after he cracked open the freaking wasps' nest. I was able to keep him from getting much more than a dozen stings & bites, but only by hosing him down with a fairly fine spray until he was clear.

Old Man Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings Why are the Dems so concerned with getting the Republicans to vote for teh Porkulous Bill? If it's a good bill wouldn't they want all the credit? This just proves to me it is very bad and they want the Republicans yea votes so the Dems can blame them. The bill doesn't pass without two or three GOP yes votes. The Democrats don't have sixty seats in the Senate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is lucky he didn't wind up on the Darwin Awards site. Wasp stings can be kind of a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings The bill doesn't pass without two or three GOP yes votes. The Democrats don't have sixty seats in the Senate. I'm talking the House also. They're running adds around here telling people to call our local rep and have her support the bill. They got their 3 repubs in the Senate. I still think it's so they can blame republicans for an almost wholely Dem written bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings It does seem odd. Why bother? The bill passed the House with no GOP help whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings So, you're sleeping at work, dreaming that you can't wake up -- and thus don't wake up when, for example, the boss walks in? Yeah, that'd definately be a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: Musings on Random Musings More like I'm in hour three of some meeting wishing that it was just a dream I could wake up from, but it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
