| Killer BEEZ I have finally calmed down enough to tell you about my ordeal yesterday. I was riding along mowing my lawn. It's about 90 degrees, I'm sweating like crazy, and suddenly I felt a hot searing burn right in my left breast area. It seriously felt like a hot ember had landed. No camp fires around so I tore at my blouse to see what was wrong. There inside my shirt was a huge wasp, with its stinger still deep within me. I am not wearing anything under my baggy shirt, so this wasp has injected his stinger into a very tender area of my flesh. One not normally bared while I mow either! A wasp is still a bug so I have a double fear of a bug on me and this searing pain which seems to be multiplying. I flail with my arms, alternating between grabbing inside my shirt, my legs are thrashing wildly, the mower is going awry from my usual neat rows. I am screaming at the top of my lungs but no one is home. I hope the neighbors were gone too as I am sure I was putting on quite a show by this time. I finally get the wasp trapped in folds of my shirt and render him senseless enough to drop to the ground. By then I have come off my seat enough the mower cut off. So I run inside for the sting kit, break open one of those little vials and rub the stuff on my sting. It is swelling, getting very red and creating a little knot, with the darker sting site in the middle. Looks sort of like...... oh no! Put on my bathing suit and jumped in the pool for a little cooling off and time to regain my composure. My son noticed the mower out in the yard today and asked if it quit working. I told him no, I just needed a break....... Now the dang thing is itching. arrggggghhhhh! Killer beezzz.......

| Oh my goodness!! I hope you are doing better today. I have to confess, had to laugh out loud when I read this. I would have probably wrecked the mower! You poor thing!!!

| Yes, Walmart! Doesn't everything come from there -- lol! They have two kinds: The little vials that you snap to release the medicine, and then one end is a cotton dauber; and the other kinds are like little towelettes -- sort of like the alcohol swabs they use before giving a shot. We have both kinds here as we have so many wasps and bees. I'm the one telling everyone to just leave them alone and they will leave you alone. HA! Only until they crawl down your shirt that is!

| I probably would have wrecked it too except it has an automatic cut-off when your weight comes off the seat. I am sure if anyone was out and about in the neighborhood, they too, were laughing out loud. I had to laugh at myself once the sting calmed down. Until then I was not thinking it funny at all.

| I'm sorry for your ordeal but I can't stop laughing. I think you may have missed your calling as a writer. I hope that tender area is doing better today. |

| Ohhh Deb...i hate to laugh at this...but i was giggling during your story. It reminded me of a time when my husband and I were in Italy. Hubby is deathly afraid of bee's and wasps. And now that you mention walmart sells Wasp kits...i'm soooooooo going to buy him one as a joke LoL But all kidding aside...be careful when you get stung.....if you had an allergic reaction and stopped breathing...the pool isnt exactly the safest place to be. I'm glad you are safe!!!!

I have to agree!!!! Your story reminded me of one when I was growing up and we had about 10 people in my mom's Vega Station Wagon (no seat belt law then), summertime, windows all open. Mom was driving and all of a sudden starts screaming and doing a little dance in her seat. Needless to say, the car was swerving all over the road. She finally pulls over, lifts up her rear, pulls down the waist of her sorts and she had gotten stung on the buttocks while driving!!!!

I remember those days of crowding everyone in! No one ever got left behind. We actually sat waiting for another driver to get there so we could get kids to summer camp last year. We had one too many kids for the number of seat belts with the vehicles that showed up. Don't dare go over that now. How did we ever survive?
