Help! Believe it or not, my mother is dragging me away...

[LadyoftheRabbits]

for a bath! Do any of you have this problem?

[Ptah]

1. No, I bathe regularly on my own. n/t

[LadyoftheRabbits]

2. *grins*

Well, I am being forced to take a bath to remedy my poison ivy ridden leg. :P

[Deja Q]

4. GAAAAAAHHHHHH!! Definitely get that leg into the bath!

Take care of it. Poison ivy isn't fun!

[Solon]

20. Ha! Never had it!

Not allergic to Poison Ivy. :P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

24. Oh, boy

-.- I'd give ANYTHING right now not to be allergic. :(

[Solon]

37. I had to do all the gardening because of it...

Poison Ivy would sometimes grow in the yard, and I was in charge of pulling it out of course.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

38. Well, I'm thinking that's how I got it...

Weeding the garden. :hi:

[Solon]

40. A tip, if you will...

Use Vinegar or some other oil solvent(safe oil solvent), to clean it, otherwise it may spread and get worse. Also, DON'T scratch it!

I've treated it plenty of times, it helps that I can't get it, it can spread from person to person from the oils left on skin.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

43. Thanks for the tip!

I can use anything right now :( :hi:

[Solon]

44. It stinks, but Vinegar is pretty good for a lot of things...

Hell, I just cleaned the drainage pipes in the house with some vinegar and baking soda.

[Solon]

45. The worst case I ever saw was from a friend...

His dog brushed up against some poison ivy, then he petted his dog, then he rubbed his eyes without knowing the oils were on the dog's fur. He spent two days in the hospital, practically blind from the swelling, and had to have a steroid shot in the butt to reduce the swelling. This was a guy who was 6'5" tall and built like a wrestler.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

46. Oh my god!

Well... I think when I was little I had it in my eye, or very near it. I can't imagine that... I'd go completely nuts. :scared:

[Solon]

47. Actually he made me feel guilty because of it...

well, sort of. He called off of work for a few days, then he comes back in one day, first day I saw him since he got it, I didn't know about the poison ivy at the time, and all I said when I saw him is, "Did you lose a fight?". Let me just say that he looked like someone gave him two black eyes.

[Deja Q]

3. Nope. I never bathe.

((I do shower.))

:)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

5. Yeah,

I do normally. But desperate times call for desperate measures :(

[WannaBeGrumpy]

6. No she drags me away ...

for sleeping though and then she drags me awake. darn She's always dragging! :hi:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

7. Don't I know it...

I'm being hollered at as we speak. :eyes: :P

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

8. Aren't you supposed to be OLDER than me?

:P My parents never had trouble with getting me in the shower. I enjoy the hot water and steam (cold water isn't fun though :( :evilgrin: ).

[WannaBeGrumpy]

9. No see I want to take the shower b ut everyone..

else takes it before me so guess who gets the cold water? :shrug:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

10. Only child ftw!

But I do know how that can be

[WannaBeGrumpy]

11. Lucky...I was an only child once...

about 8 years ago... :cry: those were the days!

[LadyoftheRabbits]

22. Aww

That sucks :(

[LadyoftheRabbits]

17. Haha...

Yes, I am :P But it's for medicinal purposes :D And cold water is wretched. :scared:

[ZombieNixon]

12. GASP! NOOOO!!

I just sent you a PM, too!! :cry:

Oh, well, bathing is important, too, I guess. :D

[LadyoftheRabbits]

16. But only just

Hi there, Zombs ;)

[ZombieNixon]

19. Hey, Buns.

;)

Just remember, I like you a lot more when you're clean. :P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

25. Hehehe...

I don't DO drugs :P

[ZombieNixon]

26. Well, good to know.

'Cuz that would be a dealbreaker. ;)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

27. *snorts*

You're starting to sound like Dr. Phil... "dealbreaker... or, "how's that workin for you?" :P

[ZombieNixon]

28. Eww...Dr. Phil.

There's one phrase I won't be using again. :scared:

:P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

30. Aw,

It's OK. It sounds better coming from you anyway. :P *pat*

[ZombieNixon]

33. Thanks.

:hug:

I'll try to avoid the Dr. Phil impersonations from now on, though, my dear. :loveya:

[mtowngman]

13. I don't engage in such mundane activities, my dear.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

18. It is that

:(

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

21. Hey! You survived!

:P Hope your poison ivy gets better though :hi: :hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

23. Yeah I did!

Thanks :hug:

[lizziegrace]

14. She's fine

I heard a scream a few minutes ago. I'm sure the water was too hot for her poison ivy...

She's got a terrible case of it. :(

[ZombieNixon]

15. Aww...

:(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Glad to hear you survived the ordeal, my dear lelapin!

And I do hope that the poison ivy didn't! :scared:


Big HI to lizziegrace! :hi: :loveya:

[lizziegrace]

31. Hi Peggy!

It's bad. She's got huge patches on both legs. I don't know how she stands it. I think steroids are the next step if the benedryl doesn't help tonight.

:(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. I am so sorry to hear that.......

Well, do what you gotta do.........

BTW.......I am feeling quite good tonight........much more cheerful etc...:hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

32. I really hope so!

I think it's spreading, so I'm trying to kill it now :( And I do believe mom is typing to you as we speak :) :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Oh sweetie........

I am feeling terrible for you......

Take care, OK?

Yup, your mom did speak to me! :pals:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

36. Thank you!
