It’s all good. Only hurts for a minute or three. Then itches. The welts itch.
If anyone is curious, the key is to bow up and not go all ape *kitten* swatting at them. Only a few will follow if you calmly haul yourself away.
It’s not the sting but the itching that I hate.
Of course, I’ve never been on heavy machinery and attacked so probably a much different experience for him.3 -

Yikes!! Those are painful nasty aggressive little critters. And no matter what Tman suggests, it's built into my nature to swat those Ba$tards before they ever get near enough to me. I get a tad crazy near them, probably frightens them as much as me. Hope your ex is alright and not allergic at all.
Reminds me of kind of a funny story. My sister was mowing their bank many moons ago and started jumping up and down all frantic like(yellow jacket nest). Her dh was standing at the top watching her, while sipping coffee. She finally makes it to the top of the bank and asks him what he was doing and why he didn't come down to help. He said 'I thought maybe you ran over your foot with the mower'. Either way.....

I can assure you, 20 inch waists were not commonplace. Not without a corset or girdle, anyhow.
I have a thin tall frame, and was extremely skinny way back then, and I don’t think my waist ever got below about a 26. And that’s if I sucked my gut in.
Those people are misremembering pretty badly.honey_honey_12 wrote: »Fidgetbrain wrote: »That I always upset myself by reading comments from old people on any weight related article 👍 They always be like “back in my day, 20-22 inch waists were commonplace and if you were over 24 inches you were a big disgusting fatty 🤢” Like bro how can that even be healthy cause at bmi 17.5 mine is simply not budging under 24 😭.

Don’t read the comments, you’ll feel better.
How old is old?
I’m 60, that’s pretty old but I NEVER had a 24” waist, at least not as far back as I remember.
Of course, the 1970s kept some of my braincells. 😂
Ignore that ****, it really can be a downer. 😊✌️
Agreed.
And yes, vanity sizes are a thing.
The takeaway message should be “never trust a size label in women’s clothing”
Not that certain sizes are bad.
But of course toxic people love to body shame. Which is definitely a nasty nasty habit.
Also?
The good sizes are the ones that look good on you.

A pound of fat has more VOLUME and less DENSITY than a pound of muscle. They both weigh a pound though. No math, just mag... I mean science.5 -

No. They (the "fat jeans") are just like everyone else with eyes and think you have a cute butt and want to pinch it.4 -

Meatheads at the gym.

You're not that big. You're not that tough.
Put down the 'gear' and find a gym that better suits your d'bag attitude.7 -

Or anyone for that matter. Take your trash with you, dispose of it where it's meant to go. Nothing uglier than roadsides filled with trash or an old mattress/tire/rusted stove by the side of the road. Argh one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Lazy and selfish.6 -

It's amazing the number of tires I find in the streams I fish... no idea how they end up in some of the places they do.1 -
Coworker was fired last week and suddenly his job is now my job on top of my actual job. Just fudge crackers!6

Actually, roided out and threatening regular gym folk.
He left before the police was called.
You never know what kind of psychopath you might run into out there.
Be safe y’all.7 -

Rednecks too cheap to pay the $3 disposal fee and county dumps refusing to take them.
I had to pull 3 out my front pond after I bought my place.1 -

Rednecks also use old tires to catch catfish. Don't ask me how I know.3 -

Can you ask for a raise???
The same thing happened to my dd, plus she's supposed to be training a new employee soon; she was going in today to ask for a raise even though she's only been there 3 months. I hope it went well. She deserves a raise as do you!!1 -
I played the flute for four years, kept it pristine and when I was finished I kept it.
Fast forward thirty years, my daughter played it for 3 years. We had it repadded, normal wear and tear. But now she's done. I asked her to give it back. I decided I'll sell it. So I wanted to check it out. Flute cleaning rod is missing. Flute has a dent in it near the mouthpiece. It's disgusting. Has she ever cleaned it once?!?
👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
I constantly try to get this kid to take care of things and not be a slob. I'm a failure at it. Oh my gosh... It makes me sad to think about how it looked three years ago, thirty years ago...
Adding that I'm grateful for this thread as my favorite bitching spot, so thank you...9 -

I said I was sorry. Now...

Just that the day isn't longer.
I'm on a roll... you know when everything just flows & you move from one thing to the next sans difficulty of any sort? Well, that was today... but, now it's 8:30pm & I still have a ton of things to do & an equal ton of energy.
So unusual for a Monday.4
