Just heard on British radio that they are also hit with a plague of the ick, one of the most serious stomach virus outbreaks in a while. They are encouraging people to stay home as not to spread it.

TCG's stepmom just e-mailed me to tell me she had the stomach bug right after Christmas, so I guess it is going around here too.

Have a great trip, vw!
I saw someone getting on the bus yesterday wearing flip-flops, which baffled me, because I don't think any of the First Hill hospitals qualifies as a tropical destination. She didn't have a cute pedicure, either. Her feet were just very, VERY white. Like, scary bloodless white. Which is probably the natural state of bare feet when it's 40F and raining.

Seriously, do ya bring a bathing suit to these things?
Nope. you'll be in a room by yourself with a luxurious bath (the spa I did this at had clawfoot, which was sweet), probably some sort of aromatherapy fancy bubblebath, and you just soak as long as you want. It still seems weird to me even after doing it, but it is pretty nice and relaxing.
{{{Everyone with the Ick}}} Try to stay hydrated, poor things. Tiny sips from a shot glass aiming for 1 oz/hr has helped me in the past.

Hey, when you are cleaning your coffee maker with a vinegar/water solution, what's the ratio?

Oooh, I wonder this too, but about my iron. Where's Martha Stewart when I need her, damn it?

According to this it's one part vinegar to two parts water.

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
Just woke up. Head hurts like hell. Nibbling rice crackers.
It's a party, I'll tell you what!
