Stacy Lewis is a good story. Overcome scoliosis & spinal fusion to be the #1 golfer.
March 19th, 2013 at 8:33 AM
Those are bees. On a soccer goal. Anyone else ever not been stung?
We had this discussion a few weeks ago and the concensus is that anyone who hasn’t ever been stung is one of the following:
1. a pale and pasty geek who does nothing but read
2. a mountain dew fueled fatty gamer who has never seen the light of day
3. never worked an outside job … ever
/stung upwards toward 20 times – actually lost count.

Lewis has won seven tournaments over the past 24 months. Along with the many stories on her back. I guess you don’t even look at headlines?

In a high school golf match, I hit a ball from the woods and hit a yellow jacket nest. Got stung 5 times on the ankle, and was having a bit of a reaction by the time I finished the round.

Got stung 5 times on the ankle
That right there – is a good day.
My oldest kid – when he has 8-11ish would catch them in a jar. He’d get 8-10 in a pickle jar and the sound was incredible. The funnest part was always watching him let them go. It helped improve his 40 time.

Really? Outsider view that looks like a sunk cost. Just move on. Realize it is hard to admit you coughed up Harkless and Vukecic for nothing but he has too jacked up knees. Take the cap space and move on.

In TBL’s defense, while I’m sure I’d heard the name before, I doubt I could have named her as the #1 female golfer. Or a female golfer.

Wow if you’ve not been stung why the hell would you take a run at Ben the beekeeper? You know he controls the bees, right? Like, the entire worldwide population?

Baby, you’re pear-shaped.
March 19th, 2013 at 8:45 AM
I only count “being stung” if you are stung by more than one. If you are stung only once and aren’t allergic, quitcherbitchin.

Funny. I worked for the parks department several summers – on the creek cleaning crew. At least once a day, we’d have to drop our gear and take off running. We all lost count of how many times we were stung.
I love bees. Sitting on the deck having a cocktail and a big bumble bee hovers around checking things out – cool. Until he starts burrowing holes in my eaves – then its on.
March 19th, 2013 at 8:52 AM
But Cosby annoys the crap out of me.
Really? Why.

March 19th, 2013 at 8:59 AM
reasons not to mow the lawn:
- i used to work a lot of weekends on this site.
- i now have 2 kids
- mowing & trimming will take what, 2 hours? 3? i think there are certain things that should be farmed out to save time, energy, stress (wife who may say, “the hedges over there don’t look good at all”). i just feel my time could be better spent doing other things. I get there are guys (we have them in our neighborhood) who think, ‘i want my yard to look great!’ and take pride in it … I’m not one of those guys. I’d much rather spend 2-3 hours playing basketball, in the pool, whatever.

When I was 5 or 6 I got on a swing set at my babysitters. After a minute or so I just started getting popped in the back. Had no idea at that age what was happening because I didn’t see the bees but the pain was insane. Turned out to be a huge nest in that damn swing set and I got stung close to 20 times.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:00 AM
strangely, the allergies were far worse when i was younger. now, not as terrible. just sneezing, no puffy eyes or anything.
i regularly can rattle off 5-6 sneezes in a row.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:00 AM
Mowing the lawn is a pretty decent workout, especially if you have a sloped lawn or it’s hot out.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:01 AM
is there a more unlikeable person on earth than madonna? im struggling to think of one.
I’ll go with Charles Manson. Hmm – I might take that back b/c he did have a clear understanding of the White Album.
/ducks and runs
March 19th, 2013 at 9:01 AM
reasons not to mow the lawn:
I like mowing the grass, but if you don’t like to, fuck it. Let somebody else do it.
But is that charge 35 a week, every week in the summer? Because that’ll add up, and you’re a notorious cheapskate.
I’ve been stung by a bee maybe once, but by wasps? At least 50 times.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:01 AM
I’m disappointed he wasn’t asked, “Dude you’re like 99 years old, how the hell can you make it through four games in one day without falling asleep or taking a leak every 10 minutes?”
March 19th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
first off, im with you on this, but…
this is not a better use of your time. if you said “i could mow the lawn, but id rather set up this foundation for adopted kids with hairlips” or something, yea…taht’d be a better use of your time. but literally doing nothing?

I like mowing the yard. i do a lot of great thinking and fleshing things out in the midst of it.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
No need to justify this. I mow my own lawn, but the busier I get and the more things there are to do around the house, something has to get farmed out. I’d rather do the more expensive stuff like electrical work myself, and farm out the cheap stuff.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:02 AM

Allergies are the worst. I had an allergy test done, where they draw a grid on your back and put drops of random stuff on there to gauge your body’s reaction from 0-4. I got a 4 on everything except dogs and mold.

absolutely, but I have still never gotten over the “Eureka” discovery of opening up a mud-dauber nest and finding three dozen tiny paralyzed spiders. I thought all wasps did was sting people.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:06 AM
mine definitely got worse as I got older. I am fully stocked with drugs as Spring arrives. But my hay fever season is when I get my ass kicked.

Those are bees. On a soccer goal. Anyone else ever not been stung?
I’ve been stung by bees and and I’ve been stung by wasps. Neither is pleasant, but it isn’t that bad. Unless one is allergic. That would be problematic.
Unless I was disabled, I couldn’t imagine paying anyone to mow.

My wife refuses to mow the lawn. She’ll get out the backpack leaf blower, but hates the slopes with the mower.
Which is fine, but I’ll get to it when I can… same thing with the dishes. I mow the grass on my schedule, if you want it done before, I keep the shed unlocked.

I’ve been stung by bees and and I’ve been stung by wasps. Neither is pleasant, but it isn’t that bad.
depends on the wasp variety, and how many times you get it at once. I have no recollection of what a bee sting feels like, but a wasp sting hurts for about half an hour.
Scorpion? Half a day, and hurts a whole lot worse. Nauseating.

March 19th, 2013 at 9:13 AM
I’m allergic to everything. Mostly attributed to not having a soul, but when i went for tests it was awful. I’ve been taking allergy shots for about 3 months, so basically they inject me full of stuff I’m allergic to every Monday morning. My sinuses have never been better. The shitty part is that it could take 6 months or 5 years before my allergies go away, but still well worth it.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Beat me to it, Spencer.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Yep. My last test was straight up needles up and down both arms. Then they checked for reactions. Dogs, cats, dust, mold, trees and grass. I will go back into my bubble now.

Thankfully no. Worst problem I’ll have is the occasional bat taking up residence
Yeah – but you’re talking about 1,2. Swallows come by the hundreds.
I hose down those mud nests. For the last 2 years, they’ve tried to build them in the same place – right at my front door. Should be arriving again soon.
My neighbor gives me the old “you should let them stay …” Bitch. She lets them stay and she’s got bird shit all over her garage doors, driveway and sidewalk. It’s just nasty.

Man, that Lebron dunk on Terry was so brutal. That’s gotta be so embarrassing. At least if you get mowed over in football, you got the helmet to cover your face, but in basketball, you’re just out there for everyone to see.

They are damn near impossible to hit with a shotgun. They just dance around the shot.

I got the impression he’s simply not interested in doing the work.
he has no idea how long it takes.
Last year, I happened into some weed. I was desperate to get out there and mow the grass. But I get to ride for most of mine, although that mostly entails hanging on for dear life, and trying not to flip over while I scald half my yard and throw rocks everywhere.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:17 AM
We had a woodpecker pretty much living in the cedar siding. Hit it with a spray of .22 rat shot. Flew away, and hasn’t been back. Can hear/see him in the trees around, but hasn’t come back to the house.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:17 AM
That’s awful. My parents once thought it would be a great idea to drag me to see the cows and chickens at the state fair. Brilliant, guys.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:17 AM
yes, this is true. that’s expensive plus a round can take like 4 hours in the summer.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:18 AM
I have a neighbor who has maybe a quarter acre of mowable lawn who owns a $4,000 John Deere. WTF?
That’s a solid two and half hours of mowing right there.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:18 AM
Seconded. There are nights I sleep two or three hours because of allergies. I get sinus infections 10 times a year. The absolute worst.

unless you hit one in the head, rat shot will not stop a rat (in my experience).
March 19th, 2013 at 9:19 AM
They can be expensive but shots are by far the most effective way to deal with allergies

Yeah, I get at least a couple of those a year too and even managed once to get an infection in just one nostril somehow. My old roommate had me try this Super Tonic stuff though, made from habanero peppers, horseradish, garlic, onion, etc, and it really really helps. I swear by that stuff.

Seriously, the guy is done in 10 mins and he doesn’t use the Deere for anything else than to just mow his lawn. The guy barely has time to down one beer before he is done.
March 19th, 2013 at 9:22 AM
I doubt this is the reason. I have zero allergies, and I know for a fact that I do not have a soul.

what is it, an X series, or a Z series? How do you know it costs 4K? Also, next time you’re at Lowes, get a look at the Husqvarna articulated mower. It’s weird, but seemingly effective. The mow deck is in front of the rider, and you bring the engine along after the pivot.

Was at my sisters this weekend, at commercial in a hoops game I flipped through and saw some Tom and Jerry so I left it on. In the episode, Tom and Jerry had a party and drank all the booze from a liquor cabinet in the NY high rise they were staying at. So the owner through the cat out. Good stuff.

When I was 16, we used to play basketball at these city rec centers, which were more or less 4-5 basketball courts side by side. They were very old and the lockerrooms had these terribly tiny lockers that you couldnt fit shit into. Well we dragged a buddy along and of course he didnt have a lock and he idiotly left his wallet “hidden in a shoe” well of course that got cleaned out. Maybe lost 20 bucks but at the time that was a big deal. So we come back another time he has two duffel bags, and had some gigantic rat trap and a bogus wallet he set up and he put that on the top shelf ready to pounce some thief and he kept the rest of his shit elsewhere. We came back and there was some blood and I recall a finger nail there. I’d forgotten all about that.

My boy is a 5 minute patient. Peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. 5 minutes is what we have. It is terrifying. Epi-pens always on hand, extras stashed. Finding food is horrific. We never eat out, and he is not allowed to ever eat any food not given to him by us. School scares the shit out of us. The first and only time it happened, we thought for sure he was dead. Eyes and throat swelled shut. We live 2 blocks from a firehouse, or else he might have died. We will NEVER live farther than 5 minutes from emergency personnel. Thankfully, it scared teh shit our of him, too., so he understands the perils. My daughter? Allergic to nothing.

This has baffled me. How this happens to a kid. I read something about parents not giving their kids nuts until later in life b/c of the choking hazard but no way that’s true.
Full disclosure – I get a little upset when my kid is told “No peanut butter sammiches” b/c Johnny is allergic to nuts. You gave me new perspective. But my kids all have loved them a big thick pbj.

Waiting isnt a bad idea (in case of an allergy). We were waiting but they spent a day at Grama’s and grama gave them PB sammies. So even good plans go awry but you might want to wait as long as possible. When your kids go to daycare/school you’ll see the allergies are not uncommon.

At the bar the other day I heard a kid ask the bartender “I have a severe nut allergy, can you tell me what kind of oil is used in the fryers?” She couldn’t find the box for the oil, so she said she couldn’t be certain it wasn’t peanut oil and that he shouldn’t risk it. He said “nah it’s fine” and ate the food. Why people lie about their allergies I will never understand.
