Yes, it happens.
I was having horrible chest pains, and could barely breathe as a result, many years ago. I went to the local clinic for my medical provider and it turned out to be a pulled muscle in my rib cage. How I did that is completely beyond me. In all fairness to myself, when I went in I told them that I was certain that I was not having a heart attack. I got bumped in line, anyway, because that old man self-diagnosing could certainly be wrong, and having him die in the waiting room would be a bit embarrassing, to say the least. Once I got an EKG, the urgency dropped off considerably, and I spent a fair amount of time in the waiting room, thereafter, waiting for the rest of the tests. I'll be honest, I was pretty damned scared, it hurt so badly. It was on a Monday, about 9 AM when it came on. Bad timing, right? Typical heart attack time!

Drich is even more incoherent than I remember him being. Smells like panic before the election.

A bee is willing to give it's life just to cause you a moment of pain.
I can relate to that level of pettiness.

Husband left to go to Home Depot and announced he had to pick up air filters and a bottle of death.
Glad he clarified that ants had invaded the yard or the concept of needing the bottle of death would have been disturbing.

Hypothetically, where could one get a bottle of death?
Asking for a friend.

Asking for a friend. Any botanical supply or hardware store that sells organophosphate insecticides will have it.

Is it literally called a bottle of death or is arewethereyet simply getting my hopes up?

Ellen is in charge of the gardening round here. She likes to add to the pesticide labels with a sharpie, things like ‘Smells like puke’, ‘Use the heavy gloves’ and decorating the bottles with sketches of dead things.
