Eyes are itching like crazy. Am I 32 years old and getting hayfever for the first time?

yes/maybe

My wife is having allergy-like reactions for the first time ever.

I may get an occasional post nasal drip but nothing serious, this year has been horrible

The pollen is terrible right now. There's a yellow film on everything.

For those of you over in the parenting thread who said my kids probably didn't have pinkeye, you were probably right, as BabyVox is still crusty and basically looks a mess, only without pink eyes. And this is even with Claritin, so I don't know what we're going to do with him.

I spent $5 on the powerball, won back $4. Net loss, but still treated myself to a soda.

Long scragly blonde hair, bandanna, sunglasses, denim jacket, skinny jeans and cowboy type boots. He walks around with an 80's style walkman that appears to only play static. He's pleasant to talk to, though he's clearly burned out.

Anyway - pulling into work today, I see him crossing the street behind me - and he's wearing white tights and a black mini-skirt

It's quite possible that actually is the drummer from Poison.

That would explain why it's making my eyes itch...

I never had allergy symptoms in my life until about 6 years ago.

I'm ah um er older than you.

All my allergy medicine from the past week began emanating from my face this morning

I'm like Sandman

it's kind of a whiny nonsense complaint, but why does it seem like nationally touring acts sell way more tickets in Philly than the vast majority of places but see fit to treat the city like their redheaded stepchild when they're announcing tour dates? it's always like "Hey, we're doing 8 shows in NYC! And 3 in Boston! And then down to DC for 3! And we won't sell all those tickets! And on our way to Boston we'll stop in for a spell at the Electric Factory and you won't be able to go unless you're willing to throw down 90 bucks on eBay or Stubhub!"

and just the way they reveal tour dates...Philly is always an afterthought. They pretty much lump us in with Pittsburgh, which is a terrible, terrible city for shows unless you're in on the scene and know how to get to some cool dude's basement.

I hate it. Our legacy as a music town is that we don't make rock stars; we build them. If you can't make it big in Philly, you will not make it. And if you come through Philly once you make it, you will leave a rich man every time. But please, talk shit on us in the surrounding cities because everyone thinks we're your doormat.

so what the $#@! do i do now

Was this a real cry a la a sports columnist's dog dying, or a figurative one?

it wasn't like i was sobbing or anything but i was pretty upset just even confronting it in my head. like i was gonna have a panic attack. i did visit the CCP web site for the first time ever though. i was also several Jacks and Coke deep.

Have you tried Clear Eyes allergy eye drops? Dunno exactly what they're called, but I get pink eye type thing from allergies sometimes, and the eye drops usually helped me.

my usage of the word "bro," however ironically, has accelerated at an alarming rate recently. i fear i've become what i've heretofore espoused to mock

my one friend all of a sudden one day started say bro before and after everything he said... at first I was like is this a joke. And then eventually I was like DUDE, you gotta stop with the bro sh!t you sound like you belong on the hills...

That being said, I use the word "dude" way too much, but i find it a lot less annoying than saying bro every 10 words.
