You know, I was more worried about the grass since I am allergic to it, but I didn't sniffle or sneeze once. Getting poison ivy never even crossed my mind.
I doubt it is growing in your grass. Do be careful because it can become aerolized and then inhaled so watch that weed-whacking in the woods.

It is there. Believe me. :mumble:
hrmmmm if you say so.

I worked on a farm for many years one of my main jobs was weed wacking, I'm an expert at spotting poison ivy. I got it a lot working there, getting that injection in your butt helps if it's real bad.

For me it was not that bad at all. Just some itching on my shins and one hand. I don't want any people who come visit my house to catch it though, so it's got to go.

I'm not sure why people are making such a big deal out of Poison Ivy this year.....

Thats sounds like fun! What are you guys doing for it?

We are just getting together at a member's place and doing potluck with the much-o booze option.

A couple of guys might bring their urban bikes and do some tricks in the back yard around the deck.

We have the nastiest strain of poison ivy in the backyard of this house we'er renting.

I am semi-immune to it but Miz N8 got into it and I got it from her... that's never happened before. It took me over a week to get rid of it and NOTHING worked on it.

First time I got it was in Napa.

F'in hot around here.

Hoping to get some work done on the new bike this weekend. Still waiting on the wheels and brakes to get here.

IAB:





Poison Ivy growing on a tree. Look up in the trees. Some of those branches may not belong to the tree. The vine and bare stems can give you the rash even in the winter.
:eek: poison ivy -> :nuts: <- Rockland. FU ivy!

Where do you live? They just opened an IKEA in New Haven, CT. Cool store...lots of nice, reasonably priced furniture. Problem is, they were out of stock on every %@*#!% thing we liked! :mumble: They had a really nice TV stand for like $150. Of course, out of stock. Dammit.
I'm in Canada, Eh. Going to the Edmonton store. Yeah, they do have stocking issues. We bought a sofa there, and it took 2 weeks to come in, then was damaged in shipping and took another 7 weeks to sort out all the kerfuffle. We usually call before going to make sure they have stock, but this time they are out of a few of the cabinets, but we're going anyway. Being without a kitchen for 2 months, I need to get things rolling....

Morning! Worked on bikes last night. I think my DH rig is ready for the beating it's gonna take tomorrow at Pkill. Couldn't finish my Jekyll build up :mumble: because I don't have enough of those stupid little plastic frame insert for my cables (cable hanger inserts???). So now I have to go to the bike shop and hope they have them ('cause our LBS that carries C-dale sucks and I get angry when I go there but the good shop doesn't carry C-dale and won't have them).

Tonight our group ride and then to the bar for some beverages and perhaps dinner with the guys. Sat. killing myself and my tank at Pkill and then Sun I will be taking my mom out for brunch (her birthday) and meeting up with my friend and her husband (they just moved from 5 miles away from me to TX).

Busy...busy....busy!

Thanks...I need to burn off some anger & frustration. My damn Disc Brakes (as much as they do suck and I was in need of a reason to replace them) won't work with the new frame...not nearly enough clearance :mumble:

Argh....

Or, you could cleverly compromise and the 3 of you could come to Pkill and rip up the hill with some cool :monkey: s

mornin' y'all from ca.

i did whack some ivy whan i was a kid several years ago. i told my 'rents that the ivy was loaded w/ poision ivy. my choices were being grounded for two weeks (house locked, no car, etc) or whack the ivy.

i chose the latter. turns out that i was a real dumbass for whacking poision ivy :stosh:. i itched like no fvckin' other... you name a spot, i can guarantee you i got it. :mumble: :angry: The worst two weeks of my life!

oh yeah, my mom got it on her hands while doing laundry :devil:
