ORIGINAL: Rule This is the first time in nearly forty years that I have been stung by a wasp; the second time in my life. My hand for a couple of centimeters now is getting thick. I did not ask the Divine for this. Did someone else? Does someone hate me? It happened after I started my poll on people suffering from Rule Obsessed Disorder earlier today. Is there a spiritual connection? Did one of the ROD people see my poll and spiritually instruct the Divine to hurt me? If you were a Christian I'd say that...you are suffering because God gave all of us free choice, and this means we sometimes have to deal with the fallout from someone else's choice (or some bug's choice) without Divine Intervention coming to the rescue. bo got stung on the eyelid by a wasp sometime in the past two weeks. I dragged him into the kitchen, made a paste of meat tenderizer to help break down some of the venom (protein), and then started a compress of ice triple wrapped in a wet wash rag. After having it on for ten or fifteen minutes, then off for ten or fifteen three times, the swelling went down to 1/4 of what it was. Sorry to hear about your hand...but seriously, take steps to do something about that swelling. Also, find the wasp nest and kill it. There is a spray that shoots long distance and I would wait until nearly dark, when they are back in their nest, and saturate it. Some build homes in the ground; look for a hole that you could stick your finger into and if it is away from any structure, take a soda bottle with a long neck, fill it with gasoline and then shove this in the hole and leave it there. It will empty out and poison the entire nest, queen and all. Leave the bottle in place for a day or two. (It is fun to remove the bottle, and light up the gas fumes rising from the nest. But not if it is near anything that could catch on fire. For nearby grass or weeds, etc, have a garden hose ready and waiting nearby if you wanna be singing, "...burn baby burn!".) Btw, I may ask, beg, plead on my knees for God to intervene on my behalf sometimes (you should have heard my begging when I wanted to go into remission from lymphoma), but I would never presume to TELL Him to do anything.
