Well we had a great visit, albeit too short for me...... Here are a couple pics from this evening's mini-ss reunion at Rogers.
This is E, QA's dh with my dh, TeddyRoosevelt. We have a couple live chickens in the car, and TR is anxious to get them to their new owner. Which is why E and TR are...
It is possible that you didn't get the stingers out quickly enough. When a honeybee stings, she leaves behind her abdomen with the venom sac still pumping into you. Scraping them with your hive tool immediately is the best thing to do. Don't squeeze it, as this pushes the venom into you more...

Some of the veggie rinses on the market *are* just water and vinegar. I just don't see the point of paying money for the fancy packaging and marketing......
When you posted the 99 cents blueberries at Aldi's, I rushed there the next day... a half hour drive. They were sold out. I couldn't get a rain check, the cashier had never heard of a rain check. So when we were in the area the other day, I stopped in and blueberries were $1.99 each. So we will...
