Can’t ignore it

The rash now has spread. At first it was hardly noticeable, but now it is starting to peak out from beneath my shirt collar. My “counselor” says that it is all a by-product of my unhealthy attachment to certain recyclables. I’ve told her over and over that this could not possibly be the case. Afterall, I DO recycle the stuff eventually.

Those ketchup bottles (and that word always amuses and vexes me – is it catsup or whatever? you get the idea) are not polyethylene. There is no number on them. If they are not PE then they can’t legitimately be recycled! Failing to put numbers on them should be illegal and if I ever finish those letters to the state legislature it will be.

Anyway, the rash…I’ve been putting a diluted solution of vinegar, salt and water on the rash and that seems to help.

First Entry

I can’t believe I’m doing this. After years of lurking on this board and never participating in the complex lives of the posters, I am going to take the plunge. It is forboding in a way, owing to my near pathological inhibitions. I can’t bring myself to completely open up. That will have to come later. But this is a start. Like Bob said in What about Bob: baby steps, baby steps.

Here I go. I am holding my nose and going feet first.
