I went to the doctor today and learned that people with allergies and asthma are very prone to getting various kinds of skin rashes. Grrrrrreat. So, I was given a topical cream to put on should such flare-ups occur. (It has steroids…I wonder if that will help with my spiking ability…) I was reading the informational pamphlet that came with the cream, when I came across something quite interesting, “In case of overdose, call the US national poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222.”
HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU OVERDOSE ON A TOPICAL CREAM??? Like, you just take sixty bottles of the stuff and repeatedly rub layers and layers on your skin? Sit in a bathtub full of it?
Heh heh. For you visual types, this thought creates many interesting pictures. Hope you get a chuckle out of it like I did! I got two claps and a knee slap out of Josh with it!

STEPH!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I HAVE A RASH TOO AND I JUST WENT TO THE DOCTOR (for the first time in two and a half years) YESTERDAY AND SHE SAID IT WAS PROBABLY POINSON OAK OR SOMETHING! So I got a steroidal perscription too. I think maybe when we went off trail walking when I was there we picked up something. I still haven’t gotten my medicine, but let me know if it works and I’m sorry if my need to go off trail was responsible for this dumb, itchy rash(assuming it’s the same as mine). Dang, crazy, I was just about to ask you about it. Hmph.
Darn you and your off-trail hiking! If that’s what caused it, it seems odd that it took this long to show up. Hopefully it will go away soon.
And here’s me, pasty, pale, maybe slightly overweight, indoors constantly, and no rashes anywhere. Hehehe.
Now, I can’t speak with any certainty, but I’ve been using a steroid for several years to help control my asthma, but the doctor told me up front that this particular one, instead of encouraging musucular bulk, etc. tended toward just the opposite effect.
So, in the game of relationships, I just have this to say: “Go personality, go!”
