Ok so this is the plant from H E double hockey stick!. Can you figure out what it is....It's Stinging Nettle and I am feeling the pain from it right now....YES, YES. The moment I dived into it I immediate felt that pain, let me tell you. My arms, around my ankles, neck and a few spots on my legs are all rashed up because of this seemingly innocent-looking plant.
So how did this happen....
If you read the post that James wrote you will see that he complains about the OH SO many things that he has to do, that he perceives I don't do right. Well did he forget to mention that his lovely wife, goes out with this dear husband of her's to cut wood in our forest. Yes, oh, Yes. Isn't that suppose to be a "MAN" thing?!!!! :) (can you tell I am a little annoyed about his post :) )
Well, little Miss Kari, helped James cut wood, load the wood on the tractor, drove the tractor to house, dumped it 4 times over then stacked the dang wood in the garage. Mind you, I also mowed the 3 acres of grass in the yard afterwards. While loading the wood, I happened upon a grove of stinging nettle (James must be immune to it because he was standing in it too and it did not bother him)and have been in pain ever since.
So here ends the tale of the Stinging Nettle giving me a HUGE Rash and feeling unappreciated. Hey, at least I WILL do a "Man's Job" and have the stings to prove it! :)

Um, yeah...that is one of the aforementioned MAN JOBS that you have a husband and FOUR sons for! Let them do that Kari! Maybe you could trade toilet duty for that.
I would if I wasn't ALREADY cleaning all the toilets. :) I don't think the man has cleaned a toilet since we have been here.
your husband just probably doesn't think the toilets need to be cleaned (since you're always doing it.) i know my husband has NO IDEA how often you have to clean them!
i haven't been stung by stinging nettle since i was a kid, but i remember it HURTS!
>>i haven't been stung by stinging nettle since i was a kid, but i remember it HURTS!
Hey - aren't you a Kidd??
BTW - the only reason I am somewhat immune to stinging nettle is that I've just grown used to it since its all over the trails I ride in Black Diamond.
