What a wuss!<br /><br />I once had a pair of meadow voles running back and forth between the air conditioning/heater vent and the passenger seat with their naked, grape sized offspring in their mouths. <br /><br />Naturally, I realized this while attempting to merge on the expressway, going 60 - 65 mph as one lane was closing due to construction. I was on my way to my gynecologist.<br /><br />I managed to arrive only slightly late, and propped the doors open hoping they would leave, but alas, they did not. <br /><br />It's a long story so I'll end it there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-46624008700675600272010-06-24T15:30:57.258-04:002010-06-24T15:30:57.258-04:00I've had to make a couple of 'interesting&...I've had to make a couple of 'interesting' cancellations myself. The last one was to my psychologist. I was getting ready to go to the appointment when I started having chest pains. I ended up at the ER per my pcp's orders and was admitted to the hospital which made me have to cancel <i>another</i> appointment which was for the next day. ::sigh::Kat's Katshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519016601947528061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-40987007796525296742010-06-24T14:07:20.418-04:002010-06-24T14:07:20.418-04:00I see I'm not the only one to appreciate "...I see I'm not the only one to appreciate "St Hymenoptera' reference! <br />The beekeeper's wifesassynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-56542535137863144622010-06-23T23:08:41.086-04:002010-06-23T23:08:41.086-04:00the Zebra,

I was bike riding and somehow a bee went into one of the slits of my helmet. The bee stung me on my scalp (that HURTS) and I ended up falling off my bike and landed on the curb smack on my rib cage. 2 cracked ribs is what I ended up with that day.bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060373657650063777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-1116991795705868412010-06-23T17:30:34.880-04:002010-06-23T17:30:34.880-04:00Heh.
