VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 27, 2009 At the end of last week I was working out in my yard and got into a batch of poison ivy without realizing it, so for the past several days I've been suffering the wrath of the ivy. This morning, after a fitful night of trying to sleep I decided to drive out to the VA Hospital to see what they could do for me. As I was waiting by the pharmacy to pick up the meds that I was prescribed I was approached by Odie. So after 6+ years of having the board online I've had my first random meeting with a board member. So Odie if you get a chance to log in and see this, it was a pleasure meeting you this morning and if I didn't seem too talkative I was suffering the Wrath of the Ivy as you saw on my arms lol.

Kor37 9 Posted July 27, 2009 Wow....Odie hasn't been around here for a long long time. Maybe after meeting you, she might pop in. What the heck was she doing in Virginia anyway? She lives in San Diego as I recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted July 27, 2009 So did she reconize you or you her? It would be nice if she stop by and said hi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 27, 2009 So did she reconize you or you her? It would be nice if she stop by and said hi. I was standing there leaning against the wall just waiting for my name to show up on the board or prescriptions that were ready to be picked up and she recognized me. Sheesh, talk about small world. Yes, it is indeed. It really was a 'chance meeting', I just decided at the last minute to drive to Hampton (about 45 minutes away from me) rather than just driving 10 minutes to a small out patient clinic. Really it's a one in a million chance that I'll even feel like making that 45 minute drive and add on top of that the annoyance of poison ivy all over both arms and me deciding to make that drive is even less likely lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted July 28, 2009 Wow....Odie hasn't been around here for a long long time. Maybe after meeting you, she might pop in. What the heck was she doing in Virginia anyway? She lives in San Diego as I recall. No, she relocated to Virgina. I believe she left the Navy and moved to Virginia for a civilian job. My facts could be wrong, though.

youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted July 28, 2009 I'm green with envy, Kev. I'd love to meet Odie! But, I'm also happy for you, as well. I've found meeting people from Internet message boards has been more awesome than not. Though, I've yet to do it accidentally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how she ended up in Virginia? She's originally from Buffalo, NY and spent most of her military career in California. Did you get ANY info out of her at all, VBG?

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 28, 2009 That is amazing. Hope she does drop in to say Hi. How are the arms doing, VBG? They're driving me crazy, there's a little on my face and chest now too. The bad thing about it is I have a family reunion to go to in a couple days up in Maryland. Wow....Odie hasn't been around here for a long long time. Maybe after meeting you, she might pop in.

ensign_beedrill 0 Posted July 28, 2009 That's pretty cool. It's fun to meet people on the Internet. Hope the meds work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 30, 2009 Hope the meds work. :) Thanks, I've been on them for a couple days now and they're helping a lot. Still have a lot of the rash and blisters on my arms, chest and stomach but aside from where my shirt rubs on the rash the itching and pain has all but vanished. I'll be glad when I can walk in public without a pink crust of calamine lotion all over my arms again lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted August 3, 2009 I'm home now, still fighting the poison ivy though but I think it's finally starting to fade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
