RE: centepede bite - helpful advice needed - kani-lehua - 01-16-2009 hope you are getting better andrew! after reading this thread last night, you can bet i checked the bed before hopping into it. "chaos reigns within. reflect, repent and reboot. order shall return." microsoft error message with haiku poetry RE: centepede bite - helpful advice needed - Andrew - 01-16-2009 Daily centipede bite blog. Report for 1/16/09 AM Normal body temperature measured last PM and this AM when measured orally. Locally bite area is warm to the touch. Swelling and redness remain this AM but pain reduced substantially. Keeping leg elevated and popping Benadryl regularly as prescribed by box. Drinking Gin from time to time as well. On the home front pest control experts have been called in with full battalion strength. I'm hoping to see flame throwers and armored vehicles bare minimum. Sending wife to bed and onto sofa and onto various chairs, down garden paths and so on BEFORE ME to flush out any little devils that may be lurking. Hoping for full and speedy recovery. Thanks for all the love folks. Andrew ps Carrie: Our regular place is on dirt and post and pier in Leilani but the place where it happened is much drier, on slab/dirt. So far I have seen very few centipedes in Leilani. Thankfully..

This was quite close to the time when the latest volcanic breakout occurred and I was wondering if there may have been a connection between the two incidents. Any thoughts?

They are a sophisicated network of insect terrorists dedicated to the downfall of me, Greg. I have never treated a centipede with anything but kindness and respect, only to be hunted down and attacked viciously in my sleep. No more shall I appease them. As Sir Winston Churchill said: "We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the bedroom, we shall fight on the lanai and the porch, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the kitchen, we shall defend our home, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the bathrooms, we shall fight in the closets, we shall fight in the garage and in the yard, we shall fight in the pantry; we shall never surrender." It's too obvious that you, sir, with your evil moniker; are a centipede symphathizer.

RE: centepede bite - helpful advice needed - Greg - 01-16-2009 To tell you the truth, I have trouble telling which end is the front ! RE: centepede bite - helpful advice needed - ef9 - 01-16-2009 That's one of the centipedes defense mechanisms, can't tell which is the front or the rear. The side with the very long "antenna" is the rear. They are really well for grabbing their victims. quote: RE: centepede bite - helpful advice needed - StillHope - 01-17-2009 quote:OMG!!!
