Now the weather guy is doing the report with a squirming beagle on his lap. I know not why. But I approve!
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They also discriminate against atheists, right?
No, they don't. They were founded on Christian principles or something, but you don't have to be religious at all to use eHarmony. My friends who met on there and got married are at best agnostic.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Since dude is currently in isolation under armed guard with an effectively untreatable strain of TB, I'm willing to pass on the legal payback.
I understand that there are treatments, but his odds right now are about 30%. I'm willing to delay the payback because he has enough to deal with right now. Not to mention that it'll be a while before the exact amount of damages becomes clear.
Father-in-law has apparently said that the TB strain didn't come from him or the CDC. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Ditto the wife, which complicates civil liability issues immensely.

Wow, I didn't realize the odds are that low. (And as low for anyone that he might have infected.)

In the days before 9/11, a friend of mine used to pick up TB strains from places in Central America and bring them back to his lab in Unnamed University in his carry-on. He was very popular. He also demanded and introduction to my friend who came back from Central America with Dengue Fever, because he really wanted a blood sample or two. He now studies TB in fish.

It is shocking to me how much work I should be getting done today, and how little motivation I have to do any of it. I guess I've gotten off to an OK start, but I think I might have already used up all my juice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Only unofficially -- being non-Christian makes you much more likely to get their "Sorry, we just don't have anyone for you!" message after the initial survey, but it's not 100%.

I have to say, they matched me with a ton of non-Christians (other religions and non-religious), and I did identify myself as Christian.

My mom's friend who lives in Singapore caught that. She said it was awful. Don't they call it the "bone crushing disease"?

It's the first of the month in so many ways today. Gnarg. I don't want to do any of it!
