You know your shop is too small ...

This one looked like a mosquito bite the first day, then got redder and itched, so I put some tea tree oil, then bacitracin on it. It stopped itching so I forgot about it for a couple days, and it grew. The soreness when pushing on it remains about the same, which isn't unusual for bites/stings. It's still smaller than a dime. It bothers me because it's unusual. I survived a black widow bite without any problems. That felt like someone putting out a cigarette butt on my arm for about a minute. First, it was a white dot in a red circle, then it became a 1/16" red dot in a 7/16" white circle. It was entirely gone in a week.

Good for you.

Yeah, BMs or colonoscopy doctor results.

Big concern where I am is that it might be from a brown recluse. They say after the initial pain it doesn't hurt too much -- until it turns black and falls off.

week was evidently a spider bite. The area, right where my sock ends, now has a somewhat rectangular red spot about the size of my ring fingernail. There's sort of a hard spot in the skin there. It has me interested.

Well there you go then. Had you stored that stuff in your garage and then permanently removed them, you would have more room. LOL HUH?

She probably was thinking, this is certainly Bush's fault.

Well, I'll toss in something not quite that bad that might be useful info for some of us old farts.

I had a precancerous condition known as Barrett's esophagus caused by acid reflux. Standard treatment has been diet and prilosec or similar, with checks every 6-12 months to see if it has progressed. If so, survival rates aren't very good.

I wasn't happy with that course of action so I started looking around and found something called "radio frequency ablation". I had to travel to a university medical research center to get the work done, but 2 treatments and my esophagus is healed.

Most gut docs should be aware of RFA by now, but mine wasn't until I found it (about 3 years ago). So if any of you get the BE diagnosis, now you can get it fixed. For more info, see:

this is of use to someone and I promise not to discuss my next colonoscopy :-).

Thanks, you're right! When I move all the tools out to the driveway, the shop indeed seems bigger!!

I wonder if you could build a "pop-out", like what an RV or fifth wheel has, to elongate your garage/shop down your driveway? Accordion bellows like. That could be the assembly area. ;~)

gel daily (mixed with anything strong so the lovely "contaminated clorox" taste is minimized) took care of my overacidic tendency.

Not even if someone assed you nicely? (sorry, couldn't help myself)

My shop must be big enough, only 9 out of the 10 apply. (#6 is the only one that doesn't apply)

hold the kitchen cabinets before they went to the finisher. 2X4 framing & tarps turned out cheaper than buying one of those portable garages.
