Yes it is. I am the terminator of all things my DWifey deems terminable.

Then you are an awesome husband!

Good news, I just checked the weather forecast again...and now instead of snow on Tuesday it is just supposed to be in the mid 40's and rainy. I can deal with that if I must, but it the forecast will probably change again and be sunny or something.

I might have picked up some donuts tonight.

They might, in fact, be almost gone.

Why do all of you not weigh 1000 LBS. I know why... you guys use metrics!

I'm actually fairly selective on the dogs I like too. I have mini-schnauzers (and have always had them). I like their size and that they don't shed. I am a little allergic to dogs that shed, and cats for that matter so that is probably why I'm not a big cat fan.

DWifey likes all dogs, but, she definitely prefers larger ones. We've only ever owned Goldens, Labs, shepherds, or some mix thereof.

It's a labor/labour of love.

I like Red Lobster, but yowza, it's gotten expensive.

I still like Red Lobster, but, my favorite seafood is Scallops. All I ever see around here are those little Bay Scallops that are about the size of a Chiclet. I want the big ole Sea Scallops all those others do is get stuck between my teeth and still cost a fortune.

My allergies are weird this year. Usually, I am a stuffed up/runny nosed, watery eyed, itchy throated mess by now.
This year, I have hives. Everywhere.

Nose - fine. Eyes - fine. Throat - fine.
Skin - covered in silver dollar sized welts, for the past week.

Due to the delayed onset of spring this year, the grass is late, but I am wondering what the farmer behind us has planted. Something new?

On the plus side, I see a Benadryl and an 8-hour coma in my near future.

Scallops

Gross.

Please feel free to eat my share; giant or otherwise.

Put some Ketchup on them... you'll love it! That way they will taste like absolutely everything else that you consume. How much ketchup did you put on those donuts?

Ha Smarty-Pants! Behold tonight's dinner:



With milk, of course.

But NOOOOOOOOO ketchup.

(Sadly, I forgot to pick up an onion. )

 

[donaldtoo]

I like Applebee's too. It gets a bad rap sometimes but we've always had good food and service there.

Yep, we've never had a bad meal or service at Applebee's, either.

Forget that metric nonsense. For vanity's sake, we record our weight in "stones"! Ha!
Why divide your weight by 2.2, when you can divide it by 14?!

Leave it to you... the one thing that you should put ketchup on, you don't! You are an enigma.

With all those donuts you should be recording it in boulders!

 

[donaldtoo]

Thanks it isn't supposed to be much, and will probably melt right away. But it is still annoying.

Well, that's not so bad, then.
I would never want to live where it snows so much, so often.
Then, of course, many folks wouldn't want to live down here with so many consecutive days of 100+ degree heat during the summer, either.
It's all relative...!

Okay, you know how you feel about tomatoes?

That is how I feel about pickles.

Yep, those big ol' sea scallops are definitely my preference, as well, and there are many places to get them around here. They just weren't on that Red Lobster menu.
I've had really good ones at Teppan Edo, twice...

Sympathy "like".
Hope those go away and ya' feel better, soon.

Fortunately, it's almost always that glorious feeling out this way...!

STIFLE!

Call your doctor if you haven't already. For one, it's been a week. That's way too long. And you say this isn't typical for you. Sometimes, hives are not allergies at all, but actually illness, and your doctor can determine that. Plus, if it is allergies, doctors are usually pretty aware of what's going on in the environment and can tell you what's going on. Hives can also be a precursor to anaphyaxis, which is life-threatening. If your mouth starts itching, your throat or tounge swells, or you feel like you can't breath, get to a hospital. Regardless, call your doctor. You've been managing it, but you don't want that to continue, especially since it's been a week and it's unusual for you. If necessary, you can also go see a specialist and get allergy testing done to figure out exactly what you're allergic to.

In the meantime, you can try to figure out the cause. Are you taking any new medication? Eating something different? Using any new cleaning products? Doing something different in any way? Just in case it's not seasonal allergies (to me, it doesn't sound like seasonal allergies; it sounds like something that's actually touching you or that you're ingesting) but something in your environment. And if you're not on a daily med, like Claratin or Zyrtec, that can help too as long as it is allergies. And if it doesn't help...that's a good sign that there's something more serious going on.
