It seems that this is a medium sort of shot as far as pain. That's why the butt.

Trouble with poison ivy is that the spots itch in hot water, so I'm going to have to take cool showers until it clears up. It's such hot weather, maybe I should go out on my patio and use the showerhead on the garden hose (my emergency shower if I'm working out there on a hot day and feel like I need to cool off fast). Would mosquito bites make me any more miserable than this ivy? Probably not. Look out, I'm getting my towel and shampoo and heading out into the yard. MOM, throw rocks at anyone who decides to invade my privacy. Thanks.
