Bee Careful in the Weeds

So I’m watching TV the last night when a little old lady comes on and says how she uses this pain reliever to help her get through her gardening, and now she’s pain-free. I would’ve thrown something at the TV but my arms hurt too much from gardening. I’m 6 feet tall and fairly well built, I love watching guy movies like saving Private Ryan and Gladiator. But this week my wife asked me to help her do some weeding in our garden of wildflowers. Day one my wife almost accidentally picked up a copperhead. After the day was done my back was killing me. On the Second day I got a thorn in my finger that’s so deep it still won’t come out. And the piece de resistance came on day three when I got at least 15 bee stings right through my long sleeve shirt. Now everything hurts. The garden won for now. When I do go back I will be fully armed wearing something resembling a hazmat suit! Little old ladies? It takes an act of Congress to pull one weed.
