    Hi

    Ok, so the reason i am asking is that I was weeding out front and on our side bed a week ago today. pulled out a vine under our Holly tree and stuffed it into a bag. It was a young vine with no shiny leaves.

    Two days later it was Posion Ivy, showing up on the insde of my forearm. Currently it is surrounding my entire right forearm and moving up, my wrigt wrist and part of the hand, and both knees.

    I'm staring daily at the tea service I inherited from my MIL and it needs polishing badly. No way can I do it for awhile.

    Already had two less traumatic PI hits this summer and two courses of steroids. The doc is holding off on those no, so I take two heavy antihistamines, have a 1% steroid lotion and Burt's Bee's Poison Ivy saop to use.

    Anyone out there who'd be willing to polish up my tea service so it shines nicely again on the sideboard? Sure would lift my spirits!

    I vote you invite some girls over for wine and we can polish and get to know each other while we drink.
