I would say "swelled". It doesn't sound right now that I am listening to myself say it, but it's what I'd say.
Head~ma, Suzi.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eep, Stephanie! I certainly hope Ellie gets better pronto.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She's sick. It's scary. I don't think its paranoid for you to fear something bad happening.
If you want to take her to the doctor you should.

Trust my rage
i think that if her fever gets to 102 i'll take her to rhe ER. Dengue has a high fever and severe headache and she doesn't seem to have either.
My coworker's daughter died of dengue last year and i know that's part of what's making me so worried.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Stephanie, if it will make you feel better, you should take her to the emergency room. You don't sound paranoid to me.

I agree, hon. High fevers are scary, it it's your little girl. Go to the ER if you need to, and don't worry about what anyone else here is thinking. We're thinking that we want Ellie well and you relieved.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Probably not beep me worthy, but I skipped ahead because...I have my plane and hotel reservations for Budapest. I'm all excited and freaked! Any travel advice is welcome.
Also, and I've said this before, but I really want to thank all you SFistas who showed me that travel by myself to a city without people I know off the internets is something I can do.
It was the baby step I needed to take my dream trip.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Swoll is not the first dubious word I've heard on NPR. Last month I was listening to a show about computer networks and twice I heard the word "securitize".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, I'm so excited for you Daisy.
I had a dream about you last night. And because my subconscious was in a good mood, you had short curly hair.
When we were at the Ren Faire yesterday, Emmett was poking around in one of the costume stalls and - for no particular reason - decided to be an old man. His best line (in his idea of a crotchety old voice):
"Mind your peepers and respect your shrunken elders!"
This weekend he has been both (a) incredibly charming and loving and fun with Matilda and; (b) completely obnoxious in a full of too much energy bouncing off the walls boy flopping greedy grabbing thoughtless way.

It's so wonderful to hear the pride and love in your voicetyping when you talk about Emmett and Matilda, Hec. Makes me warm and fuzzy. Also? Emmett is hysterical.
Daisy, wow! I'm very happy and excited for you. Turkey and the Greek Isles are my destinations for a dream trip, so maybe someday I'll join you!
I've never heard "swoll." Odd.
