I worry constantly about what they are doing to my body. I had a chest X-ray and found out the lungs are fine. I don't think one can under the house could do too much damage.

Still, I wonder about the mold and mildew I can smell from time to time, and I think about radon now and then. The world can be a very dangerous place.<BR/><BR/>Hope your bulb brightens soon and that this stupid rusty can doesn't leave permanent scars.Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209638721810105979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338082023446050400.post-1058083930615954452008-08-12T07:11:00.000-05:002008-08-12T07:11:00.000-05:00Holy cow.

But, how LUCKY that Jamey found the culprit! <BR/><BR/>It always amazes me how toxic those bug sprays are. I once managed to spray myself in the face with one (yes, I am that dense, I actually had it turned around the wrong way...a true Maria moment) and now I am certain that this will be my demise.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338082023446050400.post-56333751654614142392008-08-11T18:28:00.000-05:002008-08-11T18:28:00.000-05:00Ha ha, we're not so Fawa Eva Young after that inci...Ha ha, we're not so Fawa Eva Young after that incident!

Thank GOD you're okay. I was going to suggest mold because it's a silent killer. But for you to actually smell it, it had to be terrible. I'm a super smeller, taster, hearer... all my senses are over the top.

It's also strangely hilarious.<BR/>It's a pity it turned out to be bug spray or aerosol paint; that restricts your potential superpower to smiting bugs with a pointed finger (still pretty cool) or spray-tagging SHAN RULES all over town with a wave of your hand.<BR/><BR/>As I don't have a dead possum to hand I'm going to have to go home and leave a head of broccoli in the shed for a while, just to test its efficacy as an offensive weapon.

You DO seem to have heroic entertaining skills so....<BR/><BR/>Oh Mme, If only we'd known each other when you and M.B. said your vows, I could have pranced around in tight pants singing "Wake up Maggie I think I've got sumpin' ta say to you". That would have been so sweet.<BR/><BR/>J.J. Can you believe the smells I've endured lately. I'm truly on overload here. I really can only smell coffee and peanut butter this morning, so you can imagine my relief. <BR/><BR/>B.B. We cannot, I repeat cannot actually blame either d - (diabetes or Dandy) for this dumming down of the Shan. It was either a can of spray paint or bug killer that had gone horribly wrong right down below me. It had been down there so long J couldn't tell, but he said it was an aerosol type deal. And, because there are slits between the boards in this room I was getting the full swoon effect.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018721209690768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338082023446050400.post-88060391670263883422008-08-11T08:38:00.000-05:002008-08-11T08:38:00.000-05:00Oh Jenna, the maggot dog food!

Did your littlest one create some hideous science experiment that went horribly, horribly wrong and so he hid it under the house?
