Why do people think that being bitchy will make me want to help them?

sometimes it's hard to turn off the bitchiness when you are actually a bitch...Signed, Was just a total bitch to a friend who really didn't deserve it.

Assuming no prior working relationship with said person, I think I'd have gone for the "why don't you try asking me and see if it's too much?" option.

Ah but then they don't get to whine for a half hour about how difficult it is to get X. It's all about the whining.

re: Adult Swim--after seeing the stuff that shows up in "24" and all those shows, I wouldn't assume any mysterious electronic object isn't something to call the full alert out on.

edit: not to say that big city bomb squads aren't up to date on current bomb technology, but I don't want to be the squad chief saying, "Hell, it looked like a toy!"

SO...mac was up at 4 - hot and complainy. I had given him some kiddie ibu before bed, but gave him more. He did not get back to sleep, but I did. By 8 he had no fever and said he felt ok, so it was off to school. 11:15 call from school, he is complaining of headache, throat hurting, has fever, has cough.

We are now back from the Dr. - upper resp. virus and fever. Nothing related to the probably infection in his thumb. ibu, fluids/rest for the fever. soaking in hot water with epsom salts for thumb.

I have been instructed to please not lance myself anymore and also soak my thumb.

now working from home. sigh.

What connie said. Plus, I think Boston is still mortified beyond the telling of it, that the 9/11 terrorists came through Logan Airport.

I'm glad the safety personnel handled it how they did. I would rather have them treat a perceived threat as a bomb, than be afraid to take an unknown thing seriously. The media needs some self control, however.

And really? I'm a little teeny bit hip, or that is, I know you people. I know people who read comics, and watch adult swim, and my pop culture knowledge is probably a little deeper than that of the average 40 year old parent around here, and I had no clue what those little images were. None.

msbelle, there's a nasty fever virus going around. We were told it would run its course in 3-5 days. For us, it was more like 5-7 days (with both boys, my daughter remains healthy). Ben's still shaking it, but he was just getting over strep and an upper respiratory infection when this virus hit, so I think his recovery is slower than it usually is.

I hope Mac feels better, soon, and that his finger gets better, too.

Poor sick mac! At least it's the weekend now.

It is the weekend now, right? I don't think I can take anymore.

I have been instructed to please not lance myself anymore and also soak my thumb.

I'm a bad person, this made me snort. Did the Dr. think the infections were a bite or something?

Poor kiddos.

The biggest problem with the Lite Brite things was that they were placed in places where permission is required (and would've undoubtedly been denied). Stickers and posters you might get away with on a CTA (or T) platform, but electronics? NSM.
