'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Babies and children are carrier monkeys.
They should tell you this in the hospital and then, hermedically seal them.
I dropped Em off at school today. Out of 12 kids, 10 of them are on some sort of cold medication. I forsee lots of sick days in my future, unless I start staying home.
Aims, I've heard that the first year is always the worst, illness-wise
JZ, I posted something yesterday in Natter for you that was intended to be (completely unsolicited) perspective on stepfamily stuff, but was probably just pompous and embarassing.
Um. I'm not sure which of the following statements apply, so pick and choose among them. (1) Sorry for the unsolicited pompous commentary. (2) Sorry for presuming that my experience maps to yours. (3) DID YOU SKIP AND SKIM?!? (4) Monkey. (5) Um, really -- sorry if I was being pushy and intrusive.
I had my hair chopped last week, so for the first time since I was 18, my hair is 100% natural, in all its mousie glory. It's strange - very strange.
bleh. There is an opening for a full time job at my libray that I don't really want. But my supervisor - and hewr co-equal think I should apply. So ,i will. But my resume is on my old computer- that I just tried to turn on. It did not go on. I really don't want to crawl under the desk...
Aims, the cold comfort is that basically you have a choice. Kids in daycare get all the viruses in their first year in daycare; kids who stay home with just the family get all the viruses in their first year in either play-group or school. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. (I mean all the get-it-once stuff like Fifth Disease and such.)
(I mean all the get-it-once stuff like Fifth Disease and such.)
As I understand it, each cold is unique as well and you develop antibodies to that particular virus and generally can't catch it again -- but who the heck cares if its cold RhinoVirusB6812-A or B6812-B?
That's why teachers or students can get sick a whole bunch of time when they move.
Well, she's almost been there a year and this is the first time it's really hit all of us. It just seems like a neverending flow of snot and mucous through our house.
We've purchased a humidifier.
We went through a six month period of constant sickness when the kids were a little smaller. Once over, it seemed to taper off.
Aimee, do contact the Ladies Aid and see if you can retrieve the shuttle. I have a pair of embroidery scissors that were my great grandmother's (or possibly great-great grandmother's) that I cherish. But when my grandmother died, my mother went through and either tossed or sold a lot of things I'd love to have today.
JZ, my only comment about hair coloring is that my white hair (really white) either didn't take the dye or the color came out purer without any underlying color to subdue it (which is why I had someone at my office look up at me and say, "is your hair ... PINK?!?!?).
