Note to self,
when inflicted with second degree burns across shoulders from raging gay sun, do not assume aloe is always going to be your savior. Example. Do not apply aloe liberally, then cover with shirt.
When you go visit your gram and she knows you have a sunburn, she will try to examine it. When she does so, you will note that the shirt has now dried to your skin and is attached. She will break the bond in such a way that your eyeballs will fall out of your head.
ow. ow. ow. bitches.

this is a titleapparently, planning to spend the day in the beer tent at Buffalo Pride is not an appropriate substitute for sunscreen. My shoulders are so sunburnt that I'm bubbling. and not with happiness.
pride was great otherwise. the pride parade went by the house and all the people on the float gushed and cooed over ralphie. figures.
my shoulders hurt soooo bad. stupd stupid me

if (e:terry) 's head feels like my arms do, he must be in horrid pain..
(e:james)... i was about to leave you with no sympathy - as you weren't around, but then i remember you were down by the hotbox of the NYC and i realized you probably WERE burnt up!
and you all missed ralphie, he was a lady killer... even all the floats spent their time squeeling at him as they passed...

I would have liked to see Ralphie but I missed him, I assume I was out before you ladies where out watching. I got a little burned on my arms but not to bad. On a side note drinking beer in the sun isn't the most healthy thing to do but glad other then the burn you had a good time.

I missed Ralphie! BOOHOO. :( I came by VERY late at 2:00 PM but retraced my steps because my unfinished laundry was beckoning. To think, laundry killed my Ralphie meeting dreams! UGH.

Hope your shouldies feel better soon.

Wow. And errr... that sort of looks pretty intense. I am not sure I will be able to make it through 30 seconds of that! Have you stepped up to all those crazy hand-twirls-on-the-ground??

Planting seeds of disastermy world is simple and yet frustrating at times. This is a story of how i made the attempt to transform my black and shriveled thumb into a lovely spring green.
we went and got a tomato and pepper plant for our balcony. Oh hell yeah we are going to have a fruity balcony!
Maxx ate my damn pepper plant. Bastard. So there was still a leaf left, the stalk mostly bare and charlie brown christmas-like.
but our houseplants are dying like crazy... what the hell is wrong with them? we t hink they are pot bound so we head out to home depot for some bigger pots. god i love home depot, but then i am a big lesbian aren't i?
'bigger pots' turned into flowers, a railing box, and some bigger pots.
because, well you know.. the lesbian thing...
and of course we find out that our medium light box was actually getting too much light because we were putting them outside to be nice! We were actually burning our plants like orchids in the sahara! silly us.
now our balcony is beautiful and our shrivelled and burnt up houseplants are inside, rehabilitating. we have our pepper plant (the remnants) and a flower pot up on the table out of maxx's reach. Or so we think. Because of course while taking the dog out last night we look up to see Maxx happily gnoshing on the flowers. Sitting on the table. NOOO!!! we yell, but of course he ignores us till I storm up the steps and chase him around the house. The little bastard chewed the only leaf on my pepper plant. And of course the flower leaves.
So moral of the story, short of a shotgun/arsonic/concrete shoe swim, any ideas on getting this damn cat to stop eating my damn plants??
oh and on a side note, Maxx is happily boxing the shit out of Ralphie right now. I THINK they are playing.... I see no claws after all...

Well, I have two cats... Kitten is much older and much more independent and wants nothing to do with any puppylove. She'll swat with claws if she's really upset. But China Cat, that fat black blob in the pictures, loves her puppy very much and will initiate play, play-fighting and cuddling. China gets stressed when Nisha's not around. It's an interesting dynamic that is definitely dependent upon their unique personalities. Maxx is still very much a puppy - give them all time and space to play and interact. Good luck with that! :-)

libertad: i've tried hot sauce and maxx LOVED it. And tomato plants are actually poisonous to cats. I noted that maxx actually appeared to nibble on the corner of a tomato plant and then he hasnt touched it since. its as if he knows.
heidi: OH MY GOD that is exactly what i need! I've been hoping that one day maxx, sid and ralphie will snuggle and i can bask in their love. But i can't get ralphie to stop trying to bite at their fur!

You could try bitter apple spray on the leaves. I don't know that this will work because a lot of times the animals don't care. You could also switch to a cactus farm. The most important thing is to make sure the type of plan you have is not poisonous to them.

The Good, The Bad, The UglyI got promoted to Assistant Manager. Really it means nothing, no raise, or extra duties. It just gives me a title. A leadership role, so that others might follow my lead. Sure sure.
I Also finangled Sunday off, so I can go to pride. HOORAH!
Then I note its supposed to thunderstorm. BOOO!
I have an outside sales meeting at 9 am this morning in orchard park. Technically it is my day off, but ah... whatcha gonna do? I mean, 8 lines and accessories will give me a damn good paycheck next week.
I'm rather nervous as I have never been involved with outside sales, but I need to chillax. Seriously, I think i'm going to blast music the entire way there.
Okay gootta go get ready... SEE YA'LL SAT NIGHT!!

yeah well apparently for me beer tent does NOT = Sunblock... boo.
OWWWWWWWW! I thought I got fried at Pride but my sunburn is pitiful compared with what you've decribed, omg. I have to say, camping out under the awning at Aroma with a (couple of) bucket(s) of Rolling Rock pony bottles (or "splits" as they say in WNY) was well worth it.
