After being courteous this morning and helping the delivery guy with our new washing machine,i thought to myself "Its nice to be nice" .This is a great country and the weather brings out the good in people.

As i came back in,patting myself on the back,i was brought back to earth with a sting in the eye from a bloody hornet! :curse:

It seems i have a mini hornets nest in the driveway!!!

The moral of this story is i must be an even sort of guy,if theres an up,theres a down right after it! Lol.

Now my better half is avoiding eye contact as she thinks my winking is my attempt at making a move on her!

Use some very cold compresses on that to bring the swelling down and alleviate the stinging. If it doesn't start to go down by tomorrow, I would see a doctor.
That was nice of you to help the delivery guy, though.

You're not experiencing oz properly until you've been stung, bitten & eaten by some type of insect or reptile.

You've been stung

The others will follow in due time.
