<p>Dad II. I’m glad you are ok. You say you weren’t in any real danger…but I don’t think your hand shouldn’t have swelled up that much… if it had been your child or spouse would you have thought the same thing?</p>
<p>What in the world do you have against antihistamines, dadII, they could save your life.</p>
<p>Just think of "auntie"histamine as a relative of “uncle” Jim Beam or Old Grand-dad and it will be much easier to swallow.</p>

<p>Nothing, except it costs $$ and I don’t really need any.</p>
<p>Is surprised totally about how long and how much swelling that little stung caused. This is day 4 and some swelling remaining on the hand. All three thing spots are all still itching. </p>
<p>I know I should not have done much drinking on Saturday, but got a reputation to protect. :)</p>
<p>MichiganGeorgia asked a very good question, DadII. What is your response?</p>
<p>Oh please. A box of generic benedryl costs less than $5 at Target, Walmart or any pharmacy. That is not exactly a kings ransom!</p>
<p>Spotted these creatures in our front yard today. Glad to know what they are, and how to deal with them.</p>

<p>Who are you Dean Martin? 
Generally well before the kids leave high school, parents realize that children listen more closely to what we ** DO** than what we * say*.</p>
<p>You may not think they are watching, but when you have a " reputation" as you put it, your children are aware.
I wouldn’t be happy with an attitude that going out and abusing legal substances when you are ill, is a reasonable & accepted thing to do.
You seem interested in improving your health on other threads, but I am wondering why you are hanging onto this attitude that its ok to treat your body like you will live forever?</p>
