Sigh. Our flight was just cancelled due to weather. I'm on hold with the airline.

I remember hearing stories of babies being born with problems because their mothers had caught rubella when they were pregnant.
My exgirlfriend had that happen--her mom was pregnant with her and got rubella. They were afraid she would be severely retarded, deaf, and blind. Luckily, she is very smart, but she is basically blind, and has a lot of problems with her ears. And a lot of allergies, but that may not be related.

Rubella is a risk, even if you've been vaccinated.

And this is why we want ALL the kiddos to get vaccinated--more herd immunity for all of us!!

Anti-vaccination mindsets boggle me. But considering my once active, two time WWII veteran grandfather spent 35 years as a quadriplegic after his bout with polio and my father lost 50% of the muscle mass in his legs from the same disease, I may be a wee bit biased.
Connie, cat bidding makes me laugh. And I'm sorry that your DH is going a bit overboard, but I agree with Teppy that he may just need to do this right now. Again, I am so happy for you that you have finally gotten this money and are able to pay off debts and have some fun.
Aimée, I am so sorry that you're having such a rotten time with your boss and are generally so overwhelmed. Does it help that we love you a lot?
sj, airline~ma to you.
So is anyone else just completely done with this week already? Because I really am. I have a pile of creative "Lost Books" of the Odyssey to read and grade, but I feel utterly incapable of doing anything but staring sullenly at the computer screen. March has really done me in.

We're not leaving until tomorrow now.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Woah, scary. Good thing for booster shots!

FUCK.
Hit the wrong button and accidenatlly paid the ENTIRE balance on the heat and electric bill instead of just the past due.
Fuck fuck fuck.

It helps more than words can express. I think that if I hadn't had Buffistas for as long as I have, I would be a small pile of goo residing in a Wizard of Oz cookie jar somewhere.
