  • Oh.....yuck!!!!

    So, I never hardly wear shoes. Now that I'm unemployed, I might put some sandals on, but yeah. I have about 40 pair of shoes and never hardly wear any of them.

    So, while my feet might smell of earth, and are usually dirty, they don't stink.

    And yet, I noticed as the day wears on, my feet start smelling....strange. I couldn't put my finger on it. Just...I dunno...almost a food-like scent, but not nearly so pleasant. I'd wash and couple hours later, there it is again.

    (Ha...this just in...my feet just came out of a pair of hikers...you'd think they would stink now, but they don't. Smells like my freshly laundered socks. See? I don't have a problem with foot odor...usually.)

    Part II

    Okay, my property is covered with fucking millipedes. Not the big flat backed ones like my dad has at his place, or the big, black Skytrain-like buggers you find in the woods. No, these are small, black and brown gits about the thickness of a bamboo hibachi skewer and about an inch long. And they are everywhere. I keep finding the little pests in my house, even.

    Oh, and when I said they were fucking millipedes? I meant that. They are fucking each other's brains out. Ever see a millepede make sweet, sweet love to another millipede? Well, I don't know how they keep staight what leg belongs to whom. It's interesting, though. Almost graceful. Anyways, my propery is one big LITERAL clusterfuck of millipedes.

    So last night, I'm sitting there sniffing my foot again, trying to figure out what IS that SMELL? It's freaking familiar...it's....it's.....

    almonds. Holy crap, my feet are covered with cyanide residue.

    From running barefoot all day across the millipede orgy that my yard, deck, and sometimes floor has become. I learned from another thread on here that not everyone can smell that odor. I wonder how many other people run around all day reeking of millipedes and don't even realize it?

    No, and I'm thinking this needs to be made into a National Geographic special post haste.

      Yea, haven't seen millipedes do it, but I've seen lions a couple of times, wallaroos, and ants go at it. I still have the picture of the ants...

        Er, possibly very important question: Can cyanide be absorbed through the skin? Because if so, you might wanna not walk on them barefoot anymore.

          I dunno, but I thought about that.

          I can't imagine it would really be strong enough to hurt me. It would have to be pretty strong stuff, and it would have to penetrate the soles of my feet.

          Which, by the way, could probably be on National Geographic in and of themselves.

          My kid, on the other hand...er...guess she needs to be wearing shoes, at least until mating season is over.

          But yeah, they lay belly to belly and their legs just sort of do this bizarre "wave" kind of thing that you can barely follow with your eyes. All joking aside, it's pretty fascinating.

            We used to get little millipedes in Store2...I would have to check all around on the floor before sitting down to zone a bottom shelf. Ew.

              The cyanide from millipedes is actually very weak. It's only enough to cause a nasty taste to critters that try to eat them. From millipedes so small, even with as many as were described, it wouldn't be harmful to humans.

                Yeah, I'm a SAHM and shoes? What are those? LOL

                With my edema, my choice of footwear is actually not very big.

                My daughter's feet are a little dirty (she goes outside with me to get the newspapers in her bare feet too.

                Aaaah ... if I could go barefoot all the time ... that would be fun.

                But for right now, RK, I'd definitely put shoes on. Even if they are just slip-on slippers.

                  I'm not a big shoe wearer either. I work from home, so when I'm actually at home, I never wear shoes in the house. When we go out on the weekends, I wear sandals. I commented to my friends in Wisconsin that I hadn't worn socks in like 4 months, since I moved from Wisconsin to Texas. And the day I got back to Wisconsin to visit, I had to put socks on 'cuz my feet were so dang cold!
