Holly That sucks.
-I got wasp-stung a week & 1/2 ago on each knee (where i had holes in my jeans) & my left palm. Only the left leg got a rash like that. ...I put colloidal silver on the stings,after squeezing them,within a 1/2 hour. Maybe it helped?
Avatar 10:22pm
Holly in NC:

Oh, and everything @nickybones said re. Jesse's Yo La Tengo book + gazillion.

@efd - re disco shoes - Candies for me. And if Amanda N. is still here I share her not-disco fondness for Dr. Scholls. WOODEN SOLES ONLY

OK, Perky & I going for promised walk
Avatar 10:26pm
Holly in NC:

@coelacanth - Oh my gosh! Are you OK?

Squeezed immediately, and also later :-( I've not tried colloidal silver, have been using apple cider vinegar (which is great, for about 2 hours at a time) - Silver's a great tip, thank you! Will not drink so I don't turn blue ;-)

Holly i'm okay! The rash was gone in a day or 2,& the bumps & itching was over by a week. It looks like you had a greater reaction than i did. I really don't know if the silver helped.
... (ps) i don't think i'm blue! And i use a very potent one.(1100 ppm).

At first I was surprised to learn Evan played drums in an AC/DC cover band a decade ago. But after a bit, realized it wasn't so odd at all.

That drummer's special a couple weeks back was really fun and enlightening... I went back and listened to the first installment on Mandl's show... And hope you do a third installment on Irwin's show (or somewhere) soon. Really great radio, I'll be re-listening to those...

Matt F:

Evan- Sam & Kris and I were recently reminiscing about the time when we were playing Shot Down In Flames and Paul, eyes closed, was singing Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be, and we were all looking at each other and Paul didn't realize the discrepancy until we got to the chorus and his eyes popped open in bewilderment and we all fell apart laughing. One of many, many comedic highlights from Dirt Cheap rehearsals. And Brian, totally agreed on those drummer shows w/Irwin and Dave (and Dennis).
