Gack!!! Sexually incontinent trees

[Moondog]

have turned me into a mucoid. My frontal lobe has turned to snot. My eyes are running.

We have four species of oak in the immediate vicinity. The most prevalent, by far, is live oak. Anyway, I thought that they were all finished pollinating, so yesterday I cleaned off my lanai, washed the screens, etc.

Wrong. The damned live oaks popped last night or early this morning, and had an orgy out there. They must have had a great time because there is tree splooge all over the place, and it is on everything. I know it was them. Even the Spanish Moss hanging from them is now a distinctive shade of yellowish green, instead of a blue-greenish gray.

And part, the good part, of my brain is running out my frickin' nose!

It is going to be a tough couple of days around here.

1. Sorry

for laughing, no really, I feel your pain.

[Moondog]

3. It's OK.

I actually laughed myself when I saw all this tree stuff everywhere. And then I turned into a mucoid . . . .

2. Oh dear! Brain running out of your nose....

sounds painful! Live Oak are the dirtiest damned trees....I don't know why they are so popular.

The only allergy problem I have had here is when the malaleuca bloomed...4 times a year. So much of it has been removed I no longer have any symptoms...but when we first moved to FL it was pure misery.

I feel your pain!

[Moondog]

4. Good thing there aren't

any brain eating zombies about.

Thanks for the sympathy.

5. "tree splooge"

I'm stealing that, perfect description.

[Moondog]

12. Use it with my blessings.

6. Spring Break

[Moondog]

9. Heh. Very good.

Except that for it truly to be spring break we need female saplings hoisting the fronts of their tee shirts whilst yelling "Spring Breeaaaak" as the male saplings stand, rooted in place, scattering what little pollen they have left.

7. I am in the middle of pecan 'fuzzy' emissions.

Started with cedar, than oak, now pecan.

I use Flonaze during the day and cherry flavored baby Benadryl at night - as needed.

Last year had to get the z-pac, before that was steroid shots. So far so good this year.

[Moondog]

13. Just sort of limping along on Nasonex here.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. does this mean that a hankercheif is really just a nose diaper?

how many metaphors are mixed here?

benadryl. cheap and safe. and has the extra benefit of producing a good night's sleep.

[Moondog]

10. Something like that.

Work with me here. I'm a mucoid and my brain has turned to snot. The best parts are already gone. I feel like 40 points have already been shaved off my IQ.

As it happens, I have a routine colonoscopy scheduled for Tuesday. Which means that Monday is prep day.

By the time the pollen is gone, what little is left of my brain will be hastily evacuated out of a more southerly orifice.

I'm doomed.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. is there really anything at all, routine about a colonoscopy?

[Moondog]

16. If they aren't looking for anything, and it has just

been the requisite number of years since the last one, they claim that it is routine.

I happen to think it is because my gastroenterologist has his annual country club dues to cover, but perhaps I am being uncharitable.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. you know that is why they "suggest" you have it done routinely. that, and the kids are in private

schools and the wife wants to go to Europe this summer.

[Moondog]

27. He won't pay for all that on one procedure.

But I take your point.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. multiplication of patients times procedures "suggested" by AMA and, yes ...

you get the big picture.

[In_The_Wind]

11. Why are all of the men in my life full of snot.

[Moondog]

15. In the immortal words of Bill Cosby, "why is there air?"

[In_The_Wind]

17. As long as they don't drip on me I don't care but ...

making love with a man having an allergy attack isn't always all that sexy.

[Moondog]

18. Now

THERE'S a bit of imagery.

[In_The_Wind]

20. Obviously, it has happened ...

more than once. With more than one man in my life.

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Every now and then you find a writer who succeeds in drawing you into his personal

neurosis, and you say, Damn, I should have skipped this post.

[Moondog]

21. Sorry. Just try and forget it.

[Baitball Blogger]

30. It was a compliment.

[Moondog]

31. Oh! My mistake. Thank you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Tree orgies.

Since our snow has just finally melted today, the trees haven't started their mating rituals yet, but they will be at it soon. I don't have bad allergies, but I don't like finding tree cum on my windshield.

[Moondog]

23. Yeah, don't you just hate

cleaning up after someone else's good time?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. I think the trees have more fun than I do.

There are mulberry trees in my yard; they are diecious. The girl mulberries make messy purple berries after the boy mulberries have all their fun.

[Moondog]

25. Just rubs salt into the wound, doesn't it?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. It depresses me to see a smiling, relaxed tree smoking a cigarette,

while the closest exposure I usually have to sexual activity is washing the tree splooge off my car.

[Moondog]

29. Oh, that was an excellent mental image.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed one.
