    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    i remember hiking with my cousin a few years ago...we were breaking trail to get to this lake on a particular mountain around here and we came upon this huge field of stinging nettles...the only choice was to break trail through them...my legs were nothing but red welts by the time we got to the lake...plus i got stung by a pack of hornets...good clean fun:cheers2:

    That’s crazy why the fuck didn’t you turn around :confused:

    The next worst thing to stinging nettles are pitchforks and cockleburs which get caught in your socks and prick you until you finally remove them :mad:
