The meal that sticks to your ribs

So my poison ivy is quickly making me crazy. I have reached the end of my rope and drastic steps need to be taken. I learned that everyone's favorite wintertime breakfast, oatmeal, supposedly provides some relief from the horrible itching I am currently enduring. Not only does it stick to the inside of your ribs, as my father used to say, but it does the same thing on the outside. I am currently slathered with Quaker oats which seems to be driving our dog bonkers. It seems my crotch is no longer nearly as appealing to Cassidy now that my legs are covered in the delicious salve. We may have stumbled onto a great way to prevent Cassidy from impolitely sniffing our houseguests, just drench something else(the cat, perhaps?) with water and sprinkle on the oats! Here kitty, kitty :-) I'll let you know how it works out. Oh, and don't get impatient, the film of Bachelorfest 2005 should be back and ready for posting by Friday(after censoring, of course). We may even discover visual evidence of the poison ivy that is causing so much trouble. If I can locate the ivy, I may even have to plan a return trip so I can exact some revenge on the guilty plant. Or maybe I should just nurse my wounds and count my blessings that my rash does not extend to Cassidy's favorite sniffing area. Yeah, I'll choose the latter. Have a great evening and don't forget to enjoy The Shield.
