Gotta admit, until meeting you Jim, I haven't found any one as spastic as me.

Gotta admit, until meeting you Jim, I haven't found any one as spastic as me. 😂😂😂 Energized, motivated, animated, enthusiastic, easygoing, gregarious ... I could come up with enough words written down on slips of paper to fill a 5 gal bucket before I got around to defining Jim as spastic. Bettin' he was kinda spastic when he figured out he was leaning against that ant pile though! Still snickering about that one. Sorry Jim! Bet Denise got a kick out of that as well. |

I use spastic in a good way 🙈 people have always called me that. I thought it was a compliment. In St Augustine Con has several hours of Flight School for 2 days. Any suggestions to keep me busy? |

I was hanging out at the Silver Glen about 15 years ago. A 30 million gallon per day spring flowing a river into a lake about a mile away. 300-400 boats there every warm weekend, serious party hole. Up from the lake comes a pontoon boat idling in with a couple of nougahydes(sun pickled 60 year old ladies w/bikinis). And their equally aged men wearing leather thongs with nut cups. Hip gyrations, etc. I swore I would never do that to any human no matter how much I disliked them. You shouldn't paint such a vivid mental picture.. My therapist will have nightmares over this one. |

Nice to see you making progress with the pictures coloradocliff Last year I found a pair of jamesp glasses and a coconut while hounding at the beach. Cheers James. 
Thanks Am.. Been a pain for me to slow down enough to futter with a puter enough to do pictures. The thread making is ok but takes me a while. I really fly through life so to slow down to learn that wasn't easy for me. Should be flood of pucky coming to a thread near you, soon ..Cliff

LOL, you want to see spastic, you should have seen me headed for the water hole. This is just my knee where they ran down my shorts and hit flesh. Most of them came in at my waist. I'm not allergic, but the poison is hell on your skin.   |

I'm not allergic, but the poison is hell on your skin. OUCH!! Glad we don't have them biting/stinging things here. Feel sorry for you, James. (Although, it would have been amusing to watch, lol.) Tiger mosquitos have been bothersome here lately, got an assortment of bites on both shins. Bites one thing, getting West Nile Virus or Zika from a bite becoming more of a possibility over time, as more infected people reinfect the mosquitos, and on and on. Stocking up on the Deet. |

I bet that the dance you performed was second only to the lovely " bee dance" as performed in the Africanized Bee parts of the country. |

Thanks for the concerns guys and the poem amygdule. The poem was especially touching lol. I had gotten into the fire ants two other times earlier yesterday. I delayed picking up 100's of overstock potted plants thrown out to dry and die. They attract fire ant mounds after a couple of months. Attracted by the solar heating effect on the black containers. The grass had covered them up from lack of mowing. Hiding the ant mounds. Been a slacker and paid for it. Had no histamine reaction, no soreness. Must have 200-300 bites. Age often brings on allergies to such, my lucky day. They will fester in a few days and skin will look like a couple of blasts of birdie shot from a double barrel. My wife almost vomitted captbob, "Energized, motivated, animated, enthusiastic, easygoing, gregarious ...", said something about antonyms. melhill1659 Melissa, one of the ponds has a bluegill/bream that attack any protrusions like moles, skin tags, hairs and/or in worst case, nipples lol. Will certainly induce spastic behavior. Yes, I take being called a spaze a great compliment. Spelling ? spaz-spaze-spas ? So skinny dip at own risk lol. Best wear a tee shirt or a bathing suit. And beware of dirty ole man w/binoculars. rockpickerforever Jean, the fire ants leave little dead flesh pockets about the size of a small BB. They leave round scars for a while. Noticing this aging skin shows up old scar tissue. Polka dotted with past fire ant bites over the years lol. There is a solution to the fire ants, very effective at that. A teaspoon of Amdro on the mound. They take it to feed the queen and it kills her. Totally effective, low environmental impact. Another way is to leave a garden hose dripping over the mound. But often makes them just move to another spot 5-10 feet away. It is a common practice for taxidermist to remove the flesh off of an animal head by placing it on a mound and securing a cage over it. They are effective at eating away all tissue. coloradocliff, please no African bees. Period. |

Yeah Like most of the year in cool temperate climate where a cold winter kills off most of the creepy, crawlers. No palmetto bugs or love bugs up here. Think will move back to Oregon or at least have a summer place west of Mapleton. Close to the cool coast for the hot days, close to great rock and close to Eugene airport. Didn't really hate boot camp, had a tough life before and they fed you well. The gas chamber training kinda bit especially a couple hundred guys singing so as to absorb full effect. What part of Oregon you in amygdule ? |

The Drill Instructors used to think it was funny to make us crawl through the fire ants then watch us jump and dance. To hell with that place. I hope I never see Georgia again. That sounds about parr for this region. Conditions and mentality. Sorry for you. Came out a rugged dude I'm sure. |

That many bites would be serious for those with histamine reactions. There is a small native ant that builds small mounds. About 1/2 size of the fire ant. That one make me itch all over. Actually more pain and more reaction from that one. It and deer flies I am reactive to. Bees just painful, no reaction. |
