on my left ass cheek :lol: Jumped into bed last night and there must have been a wasp lurking under the duvet....... cue sharp pain in my ass cheek followed by me jumping out of bed, throwing off the duvet and swatting a wasp with a newspaper :x

Quite painful but rather funny too :lol:

My sympathies. I seem to get stung a few times a year. Those bastards love me :lol:

Last summer I got it on on my knuckle which sucked, another time it was on my stomach which swelled up like crazy.

The worst time I was playing paintball and must have laid on a nest because I got swarmed. Few dozen stings on my hands and head where I wasn't covered up. Felt really ill, not a good experience

Prepared for it to itch like a mother-fucker starting tomorrow too :lol:

Just a few days ago, I was riding down one of the rolling hills while on my way home from a training ride. I have bugs hit me all the time, some are big and hurt when I'm going fast, but it's never a problem. Something it just inside my knee, and it was fiery pain, I looked down and saw the back end of something still stuck to my leg. I swiped over it with my glove, but by that point, the numbness and burning was spreading up and down! In all my years of riding, I've had biting flies chase me in the mountains determined to get me, but I've never been stung or bitten just from a collision.

I've been sung by a wasp...get to it quick enough, and you can dig out the stinger. I took the hit for a friend who is deathly allergic, so I purposely swatted at it.

Hurts like hell doing that, though. I do have a high tolerance for pain which is good and bad! I once broke my rib and didn't know it until I collapsed the next morning.

First time I ever got stung was when I was around 10 or 11...got stung by a hornet right on my face. That was some serious pain that I had never felt before like that in my life. Got me right above my upper lip.

Then it was another 15 years or so before I got stung again. This time it was by yellow jackets...got me twice on the hand while I was taking down some curtains for my mother. They must have been in the window behind the curtains.

And I've been lucky since then.

We used to have two lilac bushes surrounding our front step...one year our whole family came back from holidays and we were on the front step waiting for Dad to open the door.
One of those large, neon green caterpillars descended down onto my shoulder and got stuck in the neck of my tshirt....

I was shrieking and flailing and running around our front yard like a banshee on speed :lol:
I still remember the sound of my sister and brother laughing and the sensation of large sticky legs crawling on the back of my neck :( (5 years therapy for that incident)

Sounds dumb but this works.Insects and birds sense vibrations in the air.When a wasp or bee gets close to me I fan the air quickly and gently in their direction and they always take off.No spazzy movements though, controlled big sweeps.
I read where they think it's a bigger predator flying near them...

We were camping once and quite impaired...one of my buds says - Did you see that thing? I think it was a bat....
Then a few seconds later we hear this SIZZLE sound and a huge flying creature drops near our fire.

I swear....this thing was the Demi-God of all moths.Still moving and twitching, it had about a 10 inch wingspan and the body of a small North Korean male :shock:
the fucker must have came from the Jurassic age :lol:

The other week I saw a huge spider (about the size of a quarter) on the wall and you'd laugh if you saw what I used to take the fucker out :lol:
We have a bucket that we keep a pole in, to stir the salt in our water softener.Few swipes with the pole didn't phase him so it was BOOM - bottom of the bucket against the wall.

I had to use 3 Kleenexes for the burial

Why do you stir your salt?

Noob question cause I'm relatively new to using water softners.

Noob question cause I'm relatively new to using water softners.

We get 50 pound bags of rock salt and the conditioner is a relatively tall, thin unit.So at times we have to poke and stir the salt chumks so it settles.
Not a must, it does help with the sound.(salt will settle and move as it's being broken down)

Commenting on his own experience, one researcher described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."


1.0 Sweat bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.
1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.
1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.
2.0 Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.
2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
2.x Honey bee and European hornet: Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.
3.0 Red harvester ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.
3.0 Paper wasp: Caustic and burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.
4.0 Tarantula hawk: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.
4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel. [3]
