So, one went the wrong place uninvited. Is that any reason to bash the leech?

However, imagine drinking ones pee. That is my biggest concern when drinking fresh water while hiking. So now I carry a little water bottle with a filter on it. It still isn't the same but at least it keeps me safe.

Same here! Honestly, I have a HUGE and irrational fear of slugs... don't even get me started on leeches! I think my biggest fear would be having leeches on me. I'm pretty sure I'd rather die lol.

Kind of a side note, but I had my nose cauterized because of excessive nose bleeds... What I thought was 3 inches or so of gauze packing turned out to be closer to 3 feet! It's amazing just how much you can fit up there haha. I can't even begin to describe the feeling you get as they take that out while you're fully concious! Worse than breaking my leg in my opinion. Anyway, I'm off to bed. Sure I'll have nice dreams tonight *sigh*

Oh, geez, you guys are all such wimps! Listen, if anyone should get a leech stuck up their nose this is by far the best method to get rid of it:

How's YOUR hand-eye coordination ?

OK, gang, the pizza's just been delivered. Which of you guys wanted anchovies on yours ?

Curtsies,

... on the Moray Povich Talk Show! If sissy remembers correctly, the topic of the show was how much more sexy a Woman looks with stockings, suspenders and 5" eels ...
