skydivermom 0 #1 July 22, 2006 Well, after enduring an SCR ceremony last week at Skyfest, I thought nothing could be more painful. WRONG!!! Last night I was initiated into the Texas Hill country. We moved here 3 months ago from Houston. So I'm sitting on my floor talking on the phone, and my finger just catches on fire! I immediately knew what had just happened...I had been stung by a scorpian! I did not see the little *%$#, and I had never been stung by one, but I had not doubt that's why my hand was burning. Anyway, it gets worse. I'm on a mission now to find it so we can have a little chat (yeah right!) and then my left leg catches on fire. I'm thinking "you're KIDDING me!" Yes, he had crawled up my pants leg after zapping me on the finger! So I'm stripping faster than I ever have in my life, thanking God that he didn't go any higher, and shaking my pants out with all my might! Finally the thing falls out and I stare in disbelief. How can something so small cause so much pain? Needless to say, I took great joy in sending the little boogar to scorpian you know where What a nice welcome to the beautiful Hill Country! MAN....I HATE THOSE THINGS!!!Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micro 0 #6 July 22, 2006 QuoteIt definately made me appreciate the SCR ceremony! You met Boinky / Nina at skyfest, right? You two have more in common now. I once stepped on a translucent scorpion, made my leg numb all the way to the hip, after the burning went away of course. Freaked me out. I hate them too. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Lindercles 0 #7 July 22, 2006 Fun! Would you believe that in all the years I've lived in Texas I've never been stung by a scorpion? And don't tell me it's an Austin thing either, because I've only been in Austin for 9 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodpecker 0 #8 July 22, 2006 Welcome to the club. When living in San Antonio, I had one of those little fuckers get me in the forearm, then the hand when I was lying in bed.

skydivermom 0 #11 July 22, 2006 ***You met Boinky / Nina at skyfest, right? You two have more in common now. __________________________________________________ Funny you should mention that. Walt called me today from Salado and said Nina was there, and that I HAD to tell her what happened to me. So I spent several minutes talking to her while she gasped in horror and told me all about how she's got looking for scorpians down to an art! It amazes me what she went through to keep from getting stung by them. BTW, while I was getting stung by that thing, Walt was the one on the phone with meMrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
