anybody here ever get poison ivy in their eye? or face? well i have now. all over my left forearm too. my brother in law just bought a 112 acre farm, and i spent all day saturday and sunday helping him clear a bunch of brush, weeds, etc, around the barn. must have gotten it on my hand, probably when i took my gloves of while changing chainsaw chains, and accidentally rubbed my eyes and face. i normally take a hairbrush and scratch the ever loving hell out of it, then pour pure bleach on it. it dries up in a day or so. but i can't very well do that on my face. oh well. not serious, just a pain in the ***. not like i am trying to impress anyone and am worried about my looks. i guess i'll just keep applying the benadryl spray on my face and try to keep it out of my eye. or maybe just pop a few benadryl tabs to keep the swelling down.

yeah i think i either had it on my glove and scratched my face or was on the rag i used to wipe my face off. either way my efforts to avoid it sucked. i worked on a landscape crew for the DOT on summer and all we did was clear brush on bridge embankments. we had this greasy stuff called Stoko Guard (spelling?) to put on, but i couldn't just gob this vaseline like stuff all over my face and neck. with long sleeves and pants and gloves i thought i'd be ok. nope. i ended up with it all over my chest and stomach. so out came the stiff bristle hair brush, and i scratched it until it oozed, and the took the bottle of bleach and poured it straight on. burned like hell, but i'll be danged if it wasn't completely dried up in two days. another time i had it i ended up with the steroids, but no shot.

Nick, snowmobiles use a similar type of belt, not protected from snow, but they may run tighter since they have more power. They will slip if you get snow packed around them and it melts, causing the pulleys be very wet. But a couple good blips of the thumb and they will be good to go.

Mark the issue to discuss is this: It's very clear based on Obama's past voting history that he is very anti-gun. Probably one of the strongest anti-gun politicians ever. However, I think his campaign people are realizing that one single issue could cost him the election and are now trying to say that Obama is a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and is not anti-gun. So, the debate is whether Obama is a 2nd amendment supporter based on what his party is saying recently, or that he is very much against it based on his past voting history on bills and laws.
Tell all your friends to vote, if they dont then not to complain.

Peachtree City Georgia which is a "planned community" has it's own roadways for golf carts. It's quite fashionable down there. There is a large majority of Pilots and flight crews from Delta that live there and so there is a decent amount of money there. They have people driving around with converted golf carts that have Mercedes and BMW swag on them. Until about 2002 even the kids could drive them, but they put a stop to that. Now you have to have a drivers license in order to drive one.
