Yes, I have finished one of the replies!
My head is spinning. Three more to go
You seem to know a lot about all these natural cures. I guess it comes from living in the country, you gotta fend for yourself, huh? I heard something about dock leaves on nettle stings will neutralise the acid... gee, I used to be a chemistry nerd. I hate chemistry now
Do wasps not leave poison sacs then? Where does their poison come from?
We get a lot of honeybees around the place. You'll see them on the flowers in spring, but most of the rest of the year it's blowflies. Blowflies without end, I want to smack their little multiple-lens eyes!!
English?
Quicker now!
*Grumbles* It's not as if there's no pharmacy down a road or several doctors in town either. Dock? You mean Burdock? hmm, i'll try that, we've got nettles in the Bamboo grove. :kif I wish they would propagate. ( both, bamboo and nettles.) I hear nettles are good boiled.
No, they inject the poison and buzz about, if you don't run away, you'll get another sting. They have, poison sacs, they just aren't barbed at the tip, so the stinger comes out of the sting and doesn't stay there after stinging.
Blowflies?
There haven't been honeybees in ages around here.
I have come back
C'mon, ich habe zuruckgekommt is one of the easiest sentences I can think of!
No, I'm procrastinating again. The talk on these threads had been moving too fast for me to settle down and reply to a novel-length email. Me and my UK pal could probably publish several volumes with our banter
Ooh! I thought you lived in the middle of nowhere!
That's always good to hear about the doctors, you've gotta have some of those.
Dock leaves, it said in my chemistry book. I think it's a kind of herb, but don't trust me, because I know hardly anything about plants, despite my RP character being called Vegetatus
Fantastic.
Now I am going to be scared of wasps for the rest of my life
Most people I know already are. When an insect enters the classroom... hoo boy, you're going to know about it. "ARGH!" screams the first person. "ARGH!" scream the second, third, and fourth people simultaneously. "ARGH!" etc. etc. etc.
SPOCKETATUS! You know not what a blowfly is? Have you been living under a rock? Actually, I wish I lived under a rock, you sure wouldn't get so many of the darned things down there...
Honeybees are so cute, they add so much atmosphere...
Anyhow, I REALLY, REALLY need to start replying. You guys are not helping
