Only going to get worse

[asterroc]

As if my tree allergies weren't bad enough already, they're saying that they'll be worse tomorrow due to today's wind w/o rain. AND THEN grass is starting soon, to which I'm also deathly allergic.

I swear, if I ever get a house, the first thing I'm doing is covering the lawn over with rocks, and then I'm chopping down and burning the stumps of any surrounding pine, linden, or mimosa trees, and lilac bushes.

good thing you're not visiting, as i have a lilac.
you'll probably need a very large tract of land, unfortunately.. while i can't tell one tree from another, i don't think that there are any of the trees to which i'm violently allergic on my block, and certainly not any on my land.
plus i've been told that even moving to a new area won't help, because supposedly i'll just discover new and exciting allergies there. plus the idiot yankees that moved to the tropics or the desert got homesick and tried to plant their native foliage in the local environment, fucking it up for the rest of us.

I spent a summer in Arizona - I went straight from Spring semester at college to Tucson, and then straight from there back to Fall at college. It's much MUCH better than up here.

FWIW I do suspect that allergy shots would make a big difference - they did for my mom, even when she didn't get them year-round, just during allergy season. I just like bitching more than I like the inconvenience and cost of the shots.
