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.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

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.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
