I'd be one of them.
Kevin, sorry to hear about your poison ivy incident. Sounds painful and uncomfortable.

You can try a bath in either Epsom Salts or an Oatmeal bath. A company called Aveno make one that works well.

(that's rootbeer in the mugs Nick)I got the worst case of Poison Oak once on a Marine base in Cali. Getting it was an absolute riot.. It involved alot of booze, a three story dive platform, and 8 foot wall, something called a REACT, and couple hellicopters ( i just think that was just good timming, but it added to the effect ).
I used a lot of benadryl pills, and a little of the benadryl cream. Good luck with the stuff.

Is it just me, or is this one of the more heated political contests we've had in a while? And most of it focuses around Obama. I don't remember seeing this much anti-candidate material as I'm seeing for Obama. It seems this year that you're either for Obama or anti-Obama, rather than for McCain. I have no idea what the latest polls are, but it seems like there's a lot of people with a very strong dislike for Obama -- enough that if he is elected I've heard a lot of people say they think there will be attempts to assisnate him. It would be nice to have a candidate that I wanted to support, rather than which one would I rather not have in office.

Yeah Chris the doctors office is the place, but the location of the shot. OUCH!!! Been there quite a few times. I can look at the stuff and get it. The two times I have to go to the doctor a year is usually for that. The whole guns things makes me shake my head. It ranks right up there with something is just saw on another forum where there was a link to a site thats in Europe that against 4x4's. Urban4x4's. What a crock!

Jeremy how old are you? If you are older than me, I'd bet it's only by a few years. 
Gezz, is there an echo in here...a very slow echo..because I think those were my exact words 4 years ago. 
King0581 - Just goes to show, wherever there is someone exercising their rights (whether it be 4 wheeling or gun ownership, or driving a big dirty diesel) there is someone else there wanting to regulate them.

Yep. Because of the holiday, I was almost born in an old landcruiser.
My mom's water broke, it was unexpected and when she told my dad, he thought it was a prank. It took her a few minutes to convince him otherwise. He had 2 vehicles torn apart in the garage (i'm not sure to what extent) but as the story goes, he had the landcruiser back together and running within 10 or 15 minutes and had my mom to the hospital just in the nick of time.
In grade school, I had all kinds of awful pranks pulled on me by the kids in my classes.
I don't celebrate my birthday much these days so the pranking has pretty much subsided.
Better than being born on Christmas!

How long did it take for the "I didn't get you anything for your birthday...just kidding. April Fools!" thing to wear off and get old?

Yeah, April Fools pranks..and when people say stuff like that they think it's hilarious and that they are the first one to ever think of it. It's like asking a guy named Tom Cruise if he knows he's got the same name as a famous guy.
The common April fools joke was to get a big wrapped box, and inside that box was another box, and inside that box was another box, and inside that box was another box..and 20 boxes later you have this teeny tiny box with like a piece of jewelry in it.

That has nothing to do with April fools. I do that to my daughter sometimes, except in the tiny box there's a note telling her where to look for her real present. Then she finds another box and gets nervous. My wife says I'm cruel.

lolMy dad was one of those people who loved to shake and feel presents to try and figure out what they were, sometimes he'd try to see through the wrapping paper... he couldn't handle the suspense. So he'd mess with a package and try to guess what it was, and amazingly, about 70% of the time he'd get it right. So my brother and I used to put bricks and stuff in with his presents to try and throw him off.
