Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It runs all the way down, flanking both sides. I pretend it's a moat for protection. So lush in some places it's difficult to not touch with your car as you drive along.

Man, I just weed whacked some poison ivy last week and some aerosolized plant bits stuck to any exposed flesh on me.

I’ve learned a powerful lesson. And a lot of self-discipline trying not to scratch

Pro-tip, switch to left-handed whacking when there's poison Ivy. It then flings the noxious juice away from you instead of at your legs. Long-pants also help. And, if you know for sure you screwed up and got some on you, immediately go inside, take a shower, and wash it off with soap.

I just reread my comment... Boy, it's almost like I did it on purpose, but I didn't!

Use technu!

I use it with success all the time. Have to dry off with a towel ("scrape" your skin dry with the towel, immediately toss towel in washer)
