Yeah luckily I have had that happen many times before, so I knew it was a reaction and immediately hit the pen. I do need to get newer ones, as most of mine are expiring soon.

I immediately knew I was having a reaction to something so I hit my leg with my eppy pen. The swelling started to go down and popped a few benedryl then I thought back of what might have happened. I found the wrapper in the truck and see it was a peanute butter and chocolate chip bar! Luckily the manufactures are cheap skates and dont put many chocolate chips or I would have been a lot worse off. Needless to say, I will check things more before eating, as It could have killed me.
Damn That's right forgot about your chocolate allergy quick thinking.

Yeah I really dont care for the taste of it, as I think its pretty bitter to me. However with it in a bar like that, its hidden enough that the peanut butter covers it up.

I try to keep the epi stuff around due to my reactions to antibiotics, every time I get an IV or shots, I ask for the stuff for reactions, I've came close before, sad part was one happened to be ignored IN the hospital. No food allergies so far, thank god.
This rain has me held up in the house, I need to go to the grocery store, but hate going out in the rain, my lift likes to act up and stick me out in it.

Good evening Tennessee and all of my FTE buds. Chilly here this morning too Scott. We were warmer by one degree 59°. I don't like chocolate either but peanut butter is great Jim. Ate a lot of it as a kid, we were so poor I couldn't pay attention. Have a great Wednesday everyone.

Greywolf, it's old, constantly cuts out, either every contact switch on it needs replaced and/or the control board, it's old, and very used. I've gotten a lot of use out of it for 10 years, was never right from the beginning, as it was used then, and when I took it in to be moved to another van, they never attempted to repair it as I requested. I need another one, but the money isn't there, and getting it repaired is the same story, it's $80 an hour, every electronic component requires testing to trace it down, and even then they'll tell you, it's old, will cost a fortune that I don't have.
I thought I had it, the wires were pulling off, so I re soldered all connections, no effect, found poor wiring, before I replaced it, the issue started to show that it's not from there, it's elsewhere. I need someone to swap out my ground lead, so I can eliminate that one from the list, it's questionable, yet not everything can be credited to it.
Rain sometimes contributes to it, due to corrosion, but mostly, who wants to be sitting by their vehicle in the rain jiggling wires until they can get it, something that's normal every other day, but you don't get wet then.

Wish I could. I have less than 25 posts so its not available to me yet. The name's Mike. I've got a 95 F150 SCLB 4x4 302 4R70W for a daily. I also have two Mustangs - a 1996 GT that's my baby, and a 2003 Mach 1 that the wife drives.
Here's a pic of them.
