I had no idea that pumpkin was on their diet...

Who knew...so if I dump my old pumpkins out on the WMA to naturally decay I shouldn't have to worry about the warden asking questions.....

Use your sun screen! 3.5 hours at dermatologist doing Mohs for pea sized basil cell skin cancer ends up like this. One of many I've had over the years.

Ouch! Hope you get healed up soon.

Now y'all need to have good bar fight stories to go with the scars

no bar fight stories or physical scars

only salty sea tales, emotional scars.

I know I've posted this, but in my 6 year Sonar Tech career, I chased exactly 1 submarine.

this one.

Sunrise with a sliver of moon this morning.

"You should see the other guy!" I ended up with a pretty good shiner, too; first one in about 50 years.

Not bad work, I have the same ... "kitchen" scale. My kid is should be back soon, never weighed her take but I just might out of curiosity, I don't eat sweets though.

Pshhhh you got her beat. But there's some chips in hers, which is more my jam.

Meanwhile, oldest son and spouse are dressed to spontaneously combust at a Halloween party! Yowzah!

Cheers!

I had 7 trick or treaters. Seven. Actually, that's an above average year.

It's disgusting what people attempt to do to our loved ones.

 

[GrogNerd]

I've got a drawer full of duck sauce/mustard/soy sauce & kicking myself for never thinking of that

I had 2. Probably the most I've ever had since moving here.

the BigHair said we had 11.

I don't know, I was upstairs, curled up in the fetal position on top of a nest of all our bath towels stuffed between the throne & tub, suffering from a round of FPIES.

12 hours of vertigo, nausea, vomiting & sweating so bad, sitting on the throne sounds like it's raining down there.

Yikes. Do you know what the trigger food is?

[GrogNerd]

developed last year at age 60, the major trigger is shellfish. crab, shrimp, lobster. fish & mollusks I seem to be OK with (only scallops & mussels tested so far)

can't believe I've eaten my last Maryland blue crab.

very sensitive. got sick off wings / cf steak cooked in the same vat of oil as shrimp.

took FOREVER to figure it out, because the symptoms lag the consumption by 10 to 12 hours.

& it's not your normal allergy. no test for it, they all come up negative.

no cure/treatment for it. the only thing is to avoid the trigger food & possible cross-contaminations.

& an EPI pen will do nothing. nothing can stop that 12 hours of agony. allergist says "go to the ER, have them keep you hydrated"

Man, that sucks.

developed last year at age 60,

In my late 50s I became allergic to peaches and almonds. In my early 60s avocados almost killed me. These were things I ate my entire life, now I'm halfway terrified of what I will become allergic to next.

I will say a silent prayer for you that it isn't mushrooms or wine.

Sounds awful, but at least you know how to avoid it (most of the time.)

last week I got sick, the timing suggested IHOP scrambled eggs, bacon & buttermilk pancakes.

I had the exact same thing exactly 10 hours ago, the next 2 hours may become interesting

Why keep living?

 

[corkybstewart]

Off topic but allergic reactions are not funny. My 17 year daughter nearly died from a reaction to something. For 2 hours doctors pumped stuff into both arms to keep her alive. Nobody ever figured out what caused it

[GrogNerd]

FPIES - Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome is not your normal allergy.

tests don't show it, epi pen is useless.

there's no hives, no difficulty breathing, no anaphylaxis

updates: 11pm last night, nothing to report.
6am this morning, so far, nothing to report

9:30 update. seems we can cross IHOP off the list, along with Tostitos Chili n Lime tortilla chips

 

[pvpeacock]

When I was in college I went into anaphylaxis after drinking red wine. It happened a second time years later when I thought it would be safe to drink some white wine. The bad news is I haven't had a glass of wine in decades. The good news is that is why I fell in love with beer.
