sounds more like asthma to me--unproductive coughs that don't stop -- and it will cause some throat problems as well , due to strain. but I am not a doctor
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They were "reminding" the grieving family that God had intentionally allowed their child to get killed because of our country's failure to be as rabidly homophobic as this "church" is. Improvised Explosive Devices are apparently holy instruments of God's displeasure.
Huh. That's remarkably stupid, even for them. I can see why the family might be a bit miffed at a bunch of button-down hairstyles sidling up to them over the casket and casually mentioning that God, like, totally killed their son.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I thought a federal law had been passed, because of the Phelps clan, that prohibits protesting at military funerals. I know that years ago Kansas City made it illegal to protest at any funeral because of him. It's great that his church has to pay for that funeral, but those protesters should also be finding out how popular they are in jail.
billytea, Phelps is depicted in The Laramie Project (along with the amazing response to him) if you ever get a chance to see it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Matt, get it checked out soon if you can. I had a student who came down with some doozy of a sore throat, not strep, but it was bad enough to land her in the hospital. And it was viral, so no antibiotics either. I hope that you don't have it, but you should get your throat cultured to make sure.

Five W-2s, Five 1099s. That's fewer than the last couple of years.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Our community garden is coming along nicely!
I put in impatiens and aloe and some other stuff, my neighbors went for snapdragons and daisies.
One of my neighbors spray painted the ugly chipped rusty table and chairs a lovely chocolate brown and got some butter yellow seat cushions for the chairs. Her sister (who also lives in the building) bought a barbecue grill for us, and some solar lights to put along the path.
I got a sparkly welcome mat and brought out some funky candle holders and a table cloth.
Another neighbor brought down some beer and ordered pizza, and we had a little fire in the barbecue.
Nice!

So, they are jihadists, basically. I mean, Bin Ladin's fatwa called for Americans to be killed because we're so immoral...same message.
I guess if you're white, you get fined rather than sent to Guantanamo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, beth!
Get better, y'all. I guess I am better than I was, since I woke up before my alarm this morning (due to sirens, but I didn't need to go back to sleep), so that's good.

Oh, well, that's nice. Bush and McCain both felt compelled yesterday to temper their remarks on Va Tech with a reiteration of their support for the right to bear arms.
