Hang Out and Post

[Tedhaun]

For me, just pollen and dust, nothing to major in my opinion when it comes to allergies.

[Masaryk]

I'm allergic to perfumes and scented products, especially if they are synthetic scents. I'm okay with some essential oils, in small doses.

[antiaircraft]

It might have something to do with living in the tropics for a while, but I haven't really run into any allergies lately (I used to get hay fever when I was living in New Zealand though).

 

Actually... homework. I'm allergic to homework. :P

[Spritzie]

I have year-round allergies, which aren't usually aren't more than a stuffy/runny nose. But it also depends, since I'm allergic to dogs, if I'm around them too much, I start sneezing and such.

[Iona]

I get hay fever in the spring/summer.

Also sneeze a lot and feel quite ill when there's lots of dust around.

[Tyler.]

I'm allergic to cats, which is okay since I don't really like them anyway

[Divya Bean]

I'm allergic to tree nuts. VERY annoying. And I also have the regular spring pollen allergies which is why I'm a swimmer. :laughingsmiley:

[Manta]

I'm not sure if i'm so much allergic as I just get seasonal colds... :P

 

Definitely allergic to poison ivy though. That stuff bites :(

[Masaryk]

I am thankfully not allergic to poison ivy. It's rare that I come in contact with it, but my lack of reaction to it means that I'm the botanist that has to always collect it.

 

Point of interest: poison ivy is in the same family as mangoes and cashews. Many people who have strong reactions to poison ivy also have allergies to those two foods.

[Manta]

Huh. That's cool, Masaryk :D I'm not allergic to mangoes or cashews (at least I don't think so) but I do know people who are.

 

Botany is pretty interesting, though I don't think i have plans to take any classes. I wonder if I should look into it when I schedule my next semester?

[Rose_682]

Well, I am allergic to a protein in cow's milk, dust, dust mites, lilacs, lavender, a lot of perfumes and colognes (indeed, most of them), dogs, some kinds of pollen, and a few antibiotic medications, as well as one pain killer.

 

Usually, my allergies are not so bad. But the sand they put on the roads in the winter is now mostly dust, and that sucks. Also the fact about my mom's pom shedding like crazy doesn't help, as I am pretty allergic to dogs. And some of the flowers and trees are already budding and spreading pollen all over the place.

 

So I am not doing so hot.

 

AA: I was allergic to homework, too. I never did it, cause I aced all my tests, anyhow.

 

Also, Masaryk, that was a very interesting fact. I will have to make that my "learn something new every day" fact of the day.

 

My cat, Misha, also has allergies. It's kinda amusing, except when he sneezes in your face or on your food. LOL

[livvy]

Silver has horrible allergies too. The first year we had her, she was sneezing blood all through spring. 0_0 She doesn't do that anymore, thank goodness, but she still sneezes a lot around the time mum and I start sneezing. (Mum thinks Sil just sneezes with us because she feels left out. :P )

[Rose_682]

Oi, that would be scary. I'm glad Misha's allergies are not that bad.

 

Jasmine has discovered a love for small boxes (maybe twice as big as her) and large paper bags (large cat food and litter bags). She uses them as a tactical advantage against Misha when she wants to play. It's kinda funny to see the kitten in the bag, and Misha sitting outside the bag, batting at her through the hole, attempting to bring Jasmine OUT of the bag XD. Or when she is hiding in a box, and he walks by, (and she is very patient sometimes, believe me) and BOOM! out comes a flying ball of fur, in one fluid motion exiting the box, jumping into the air, paws splayed, and attacking him.

[livvy]

Pictures, Crystal, pictures! :laughingsmiley: Your Jasmine sounds so adorable.

[Manta]

You guys make me want to get a kitten even more :laughingsmiley: I didn't think that was possible! xD

[Tyler.]

Sadly I can't have a cat

but my dogs wouldn't be happy with a cat

[Rose_682]

I'll upload more pics of Jasmine when I feel better.... And when I stop being obsessed with beating my new game.... Which might take a few days, LOL

[Tedhaun]

I haven't been here in a while due to the hacker scare.

I've noticed more members of TDN join Jellyneo due to that purpose (not just HAMS this time).

 

Anywho, it's great to back at The Daily Neopets after a few days of not being here. :yes:

[Tyler.]

I couldn't even get on the internet

some evil thing called vista anti-spyware installed itself and tried to ruin my life

[-Ryan]

Glad to know the whole malware epidemic is over.

Try having OpenDNS, Tyler. Even if it lets you on a site it messes up the layout. The HAMS site and Neo are still jacked up when I go there.

 

So, yay, it's finally spring break.

How was everyone's week?

[Tedhaun]

It will be Spring Break for me on my Birthday. Yes, my week was rather fine, thanks for asking Super Squirrel.

It stinks having these lovely forums hijacked, and I agree with that very statement.

[Noog]

I can't believe everyone's getting off for spring break next week. :/ My spring break is after easter.

 

Neomysterion your avatar is pretty epic. :O I've never seen pokemon, digimon, and dragonquest in the same gif before. :P

[Manta]

Wow, my spring break is almost over lol :P I get to spend all day tomorrow on the train going back to school. But then I get to hang out with Pokemon friends, so i'm looking forward to that :D

[Tyler.]

my Spring Break is the week after Easter, I have a looong time

[sjoudrey]

I didn't get a spring break this year, since we are on clinicals and not really in school per say. We only got a 4 day weekend as our spring break every year of vet school, so it wasn't much.
