Kat, what's the criteria for getting him off oxygen? Medical say so?

Pretty much. But it's also an issue of his pulse ox reading, whether or not he gained weight and grew in length at the next appointment. If he has a failure to thrive, that might be part of breathing issues. And his lungs need to sound clear.

Just found out we've been approved for the Synergis Clinic for RSV. I had no idea it was one shot a month for 6 months!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, dude calls it a Red Agave, but that's because it's the house cocktail for the same-named restaurant.

You might be able to find it at Trader Vic's - tamarind paste is not a standard for most bars, but Vic's would probably have it. Maybe another tiki-style bar in LA?

I'd just ask for a margarita with tamarind paste, but only if I knew the bar was using fresh ingredients (no freakin' Rose's!).

Huh -- I think I heard about the Fogelberg impersonation incident, in a different context.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't understand why I've never had tamarind, but I don't think I ever have! How does it compare to passionfruit?

I fucking hate flagyl.

Anyway, I hope Noah's able to do without the extra oxygen soon, but glad he's still got that option while the air quality is the suckiest.

Worst air quality I've experienced was Prague in the spring. Inversions caused all the smog to get stuck in the valley and it hurt to inhale and you'd get all dizzy. You'd see people walking around with unlit cigarettes, using the filters. Oh & your clothes all got this grey film. Blech.

Interesting. Tamarind have always had this foul savory/salty aftertaste I hated it. Passionfruit on the other hand is great.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Had Liefeld illustrated V for Vendetta (for instance), the plot wouldn't have been nearly as disturbing as all the characters' missing hands and feet.

HA!

That is a verrry disturbing story.

Our friend from Germany-who is in town right now-asked for something called a gin lime last night. It sounded like a gimlet. It is not, in fact, like a gimlet.

Could you substitute Rose's? like in a gimlet?

oh, lord! you might as well have suggested that you add cilantro! :)
