Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hi Bruno I hope your stings are better soon. I was stung on the elbow, in the night while I was fast asleep :-( It hurt for a few hours and then seemed to clear up - and then it became swollen and angry red and itchy enought to drive me to distraction. This was five weeks ago, and although it causes me no more problems is still a little pink! You are indeed a saint. Jo --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Bruno, I must say that it has been a long time since I have read such a good story. When yer book comes out, and I do hope you'll sit down and write one, please let me know. For I will be first in line. So poetic and grabbing! You will not be humiliated by me. I applaud yer valor and must note, had it been me and my deadly fear of and deadly allergic reaction wasps/bees, I would've screamed like a banshee and ran fer the hills my friend. So kudos and nature's blessings to you! nikki yer vegan friend <i dub thee Saint Bruno Claus> , " bruno_von_lederhosen " <bruno_von_lederhosen> wrote: > Hi happy vegan friends! )/ yeah! > > Sorry I haven't written you > for so long but I was bitten > on my nipple by a wasp. > > Two weeks ago, on Saturday, > I took the train to a far off, > beautiful outdoor hotsprings > up a winding path deep in the > mountains. > > It was wonderful. > > But since it's summer, they > had a sign up Beware of Wasps. > > It said the wasps bite. > > So I tiptoed on the green, mossy > stones, slowly sunk deep into > the warm hotsprings water and > opened my paperback book to > read. > > Then I heard a slight humming. > > It soon became the purr of a toy > Cesna and I looked down and saw > a wasp friend was preparing to land > on my ear. > > So I wacked it away. > > Not a meatatarian wack, but a > gentle vegan one. > > Next, I lowered my glance to the > water, and the wasp I had flung off > was on its back flapping the warm > water with both wings. > > It was trying to breathe, and its > tiny fluttering lashes pleaded with > me for life.
