Earlier today, I saw a bumper sticker that stuck out to me.
It read:
Unless you are a hemerrhoid, get off my butt!
Well, the word butt was replaced with another choice word, but given the nature of family audiences, I have changed it to be more "sanitary."
Now, don't get me wrong. I am a fan of bumper stickers and honestly, I get the point of this one. Still, upon a closer investigation, the bumper sticker is actually scary. Nay, disturbing.
In essence, the person is actually suggesting that you should get off their butt unless you are a hemerrhoid. But, honestly, who really wants a hemerrhoid on their butt, either. Let's face it, there isn't too much you want on a butt and hemerrhoids are chief among them.
So, I am thinking that the bumper sticker should be rewritten. Something like:
Don't be a hemerrhoid...get off my butt.
Gets right to the point. Pleasantly!

Buzzzzzzz
We had a weird incident happen yesterday.
As I was cleaning out a portion of a garden weeding, little did I know that a group of yellow jackets had been working on one of their ground nests.
My knee - it appears - sat squarely on where their nest was.
Before I knew it, I felt a sharp piercing in my arm, then neck, then knee. I quickly lept, batting at the air. Then I dashed to the driveway, waving about furiously. I quickly ran to Kiff and Bri and rushed them inside, my sides, neck, and arm burning.
I got inside and found two of the yellow jackets still on me.
After putting an ice pack on my neck and having help me out, I started counting. I had about ten stings.
Yikes.
