Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm working at home today. The map is cool but was not reflecting the intermittant outages this morning
Yeah, we (= this neighborhood) were a big yellow blotch this morning. Facilities tells us that BGE said they have our outage more or less fixed. So you are probably safe .
Watching some of the trees in Wyman park sway is..well, it's impressive.
SARS

the wind has been absolutely howling down the street all day. Always makes me worried about the big trees on my street.
I'm very retro, Sue.
You guys make me larf through my pain. Infection sounds rather plausible. I didn't know if it was sleep dep or something more serious.
Bob also seems to have some kind of eye infection. Maybe the bon/Bob household has come down with plague.
Sometimes the swollen glands are the first symptom of being more sick, but sometimes your (well, my) body can fight it off and the glands are all I get.
The BF is off in Las Vegas at a new model launch for Lexus. He called to tell me we LOVE Lexus now. Why? Because at the Cadillac launch last week, they gave him an engraved pen. Nice, if you like a pen that says "Cadillac" on it. You know what Lexus gave all the journalists at the launch? An iPod Nano. Suh-weet.
bon bon, despite my desire to make a smart-ass comment about the potential cause of your swollen lymph nodes, Hec is right -- your body is fighting off an infection.
Or -- and this is common when springtime and all its attendant pollen and other allergens roll around -- your body isn't fighting off an infection, per se, not like a virus; your body could be, essentially, overreacting to the onslaught of springtime allergens.

That would be me. My lymph nodes stay pretty much permanently swollen during allergy season, 'cause my immune system's all "OH NOES POLLEN! AMASS THE TROOPS ALONG THE SINUS BORDER!!!"
'cause my immune system's all "OH NOES POLLEN! AMASS THE TROOPS ALONG THE SINUS BORDER!!!"
Really? My immune system is much more "BITCH! I *KNOW* I TOLD YOU TO STAY INSIDE UNTIL JULY!!! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER FOR DISOBEYING ME!!!"
