WHEN I'M COVERED IN ITCHY

Yeah, this is me covered in itchy. That is an actual hive on my eyelid.

So I have a LOT of chemical sensitivities. The worst thing is, there does not have to be enough for me to smell it to react to it sometimes. So I almost never know what got me.

This was taken with my phone on Jan 29th, 2020. It always starts with my face then spreads to the rest of me. In fact it's happening again while I type this.

Some people would think "well move then". Well there is no safe place other than my own house, and being I'm on disability - I'm stuck where I am. I can't afford a different location and still feed myself.

The worst of this was 2 buildings ago. The woman across the hall sprayed a pile of some crap and I got hit so bad I had to call 911. They gave me a shot because I could not breath. I phoned another person on my floor to ask them to open the windows before I got home and explain what happened. The woman was apologetic - but It's not her fault, she did not know this could happen.

Many times I've had to leave a coffee shop or relocate to another table because of perfume or body spray. It does seem that if a person will react to the crap someone has on - they will find you in the world and sit right next to you. I'm serious, this has happened hundreds of times over the decades.

The older I get the worse it gets as well. It's just not fun. 2 or 3 times a week it will happen.

Then there is "fibro rash" - that looks different than this - it's more evenly distributed. I had that not long before I took this photo. That is just as bad - itchy from head to toe and there is nothing on earth that will stop it. At least with the chemicals I can pop a pill or 2 and it will ease up.

Anyway, remember almost 30% of people have some kind of bad reaction to scented products or harsh cleaners. The good part is people are getting it now and less are buying scented crap. The worst is people when you tell them, think "you just don't like the smell". The fact you are turning red and lumps are forming does not seem to get them to understand somehow.

Peace be with you.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...

Gifted (2017) A Review

Image
Gifted (2017)  Is the story of a 7 year old girl and her uncle who is taking care of her. The child is extremely gifted in the field of mathematics. This runs in the family, as her mother was as well, and so was her grandmother. To a lesser extent her uncle was also very intelligent. We pick up the story when the uncle is fixing boats freelance and taking care of the girl in a small rental home in Florida. He has schooled her at home before she goes to school (1st grade) and the teacher realized just how smart she is and how much knowledge of math she actually has. To say the least most people on earth don't have the knowledge of math that this 7 year old has. Enter the grandmother and we find out that the girls mother killed herself and that the uncle blames himself for not seeing the signs before it was too late. The grandmother wants the child to go home with her and to be schooled in math the was she schooled her daughter (the child mom). After a legal battle, the child ends up...
