OK – I read the linked-to article. And well, I am still trying to understand how someone can scratch THROUGH bone. It isn’t making sense… Although very creepy, I am having trouble imagining how it is even possible.

I too suffer from PoHs, and here’s my disgusting-but-it-works secret: if you scratch them until they bleed, and then squeeze the blood out, they’re stop itching.

My husband got bitten by something horrid last year and got this awesome ring around it so we were convinced it was lyme disease. Turned out to have been… well, we still don’t know exactly what it was, but a steroid cream worked wonders.

Our cat did that butt thing for awhile. She, uh, needed some trimming back there. Little bits were hanging on, so we got to wait for her to poo and then wipe her butt with a wet cloth to keep her clean! Ah, memories…

I was going to suggest Benadryl also, but a few people beat me to it. Yesterday I bought a topical Benadryl gel that comes in handy stick form. You just dab it on there. So far, so good.

As for the dog’s butt – if he keeps it up, ask the vet about it. If not, maybe it’s just an itchy butt. :-)

Not allergic to mosquito bites, thank goodness, because I attract the little fuckers like you wouldn’t believe. I *am* allergic to flea bites, to the extent where one emergency room (!) resident exclaimed admiringly “Wow, I’ve never seem ‘em like this one!”

As for the Mac thing, I run a Winders-free zone here at the home office, thank you very much. I am jealous of your new NacBook Pro! I have been suffering with a 4-year-old TiBook which to my great annoyance continues to function acceptably and refuses to break, dammit.

I have been anti-MAC for a while. Now, I want one.. I am such a sell out.

‘Sometimes an itchy butt is just an itchy butt’. Oh my.

Okay, so to summarize so far, we have:
PoH
snotacular teething
doggy anal glands
rampant itching resulting in…
nighttime skull scooping
mosquitos, ticks, chiggers, and other assorted human-eating bugs
fatty lumps
the occasional geek commenter dissing DOS (again)

and one of my new all-time favorite lines

“sometimes an itchy butt is just an itchy butt.” Amen, sister.

God I love my lunchtime blogs. Throw in a penis or two (or the new euphamism I read for that this morning– some “tackle”), and we have a GD smorgasbord of delight.

Thank you all.

Well, since you asked (rhetorically I’m sure), I’m kind of sore at you. I’m sorry to be so off-topic but – I just finished Operating Instructions and it left me with a sour after-taste. Maybe Anne Lamott is too cerebral for me, but reading about her fuckedupedness didn’t make me feel better about my own. I actually found her frightening.

THEN, I went to Lululemon – thrilled to find out I have one about 5 minutes from my house. Until I realized that I better not even bother trying them on, unless I want to be buried in them, because my husband would kill me if I spent $92 on yoga pants. That I can’t even wear to work.

Finally, I saw the pictures of you in the bikini. haha. Thanks a lot. My baby is 3 months older than yours and my “figure” is….NOT to be photographed in a bikini and posted on the internet.

Is this all some sort of message that I am living my life a little too closely to your blog posts? maybe. Still – I feel badly about your bug bites and dog lumps. Thanks for sharing – I’m off to shop for a Macbook Pro.
