Not because of your rash of course, would not wish any ill will on anyone. But you are so funny, I loved how you put it. Tell me did the rash go away? Don't you just love the water at the Gulf! We have been 4 times this year! We love it, so warm. Don't think I would love it right now with 30 foot swells coming from Gustav. Anyway- happy Anniversary!

"Boncha wanmp a piece ub dis?" By the way, did you see the possible shellfish reaction over at Nothing but Bonfires? Yowzers.

Nothing. Apparently there's a fungus among us. Original, I know. But, again, nothing. I just hope it passed. And it just can't be the beach. It just can't. Scary...that's worse than being allergic to what's IN the ocean. My heart just breaks for people who can't eat seafood. Awful, just awful. Well, I’ve got nothing. Nothing.

It was the sun itself. It's taken time to sort it all out, but I took St. John Wort from October to March to help me in the battle against SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder...ie Winter Depression: I live in Maine). Even though I stopped taking it in March, I still remained photosensitive FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER. Oh, how it sucked. Then this past year I switched to using a therapy light in the winter - no more make-me-a-sun-phobe St. John's Wort - and guess what? This summer I've been able to go out in the sun. ALOT. and no itching! :D Anyhoo, glad your reaction is to the sunscreen. At least that's easier to correct. I went through 3 summers of that itchy horror and for me, it was NOT the sunscreen.

We have the same luck here. Last August my grandparents took all three kids off of our hands for a few days. I ended up covered in hives, and my poor hubby got cellulitis from a spider bite on his face! We spent a totally romantic week whining to each other. Fun! What a “fun” anniversary!

I'm a fan of the Zyrtec myself...I have such high immune to any of that mess that it does NOTHING to me...when sometimes I wish it would ! ;) Hope to see you in SA. Haven't even thought about packing...who knows what I'll end up wearing. You may have to hook me up with some quick shopping! Hugs, Fran The word “rash” kinda creeps me out a little bit.

I got hives at three o'clock in the morning the day I graduated from college. I wore a red wool dress under a black gown that was so synthetic it hardly qualified as any kind of fabric at all and supported myself miraculously in 4 inch stilettos. I sat through my graduation so stoned on copious amounts of Benadryl that I hardly remember my name being called- but I didn't trip on my heels which is monumental for me even in a sober state. So, I feel for you big mama! Hope that heals up fast- onward Zyrtec! Ahh the hives. I got hives at three o’clock in the morning the day I graduated from college.

Poison ivy, poison oak, and marijuana are all 100% natural. And with that, I rest my case. Sorry about the itching. Hope you figure out what it is.
