I had chicken pox at age 16, and it was brutal. I was out of commission for two weeks and was utterly miserable. I would have done anything to have avoided that.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
I can't imagine having an infant with it, Burrell. You're so right -- the baby would be miserable, but would never remember it. You, on the other hand, would be heartbroken and a bit helpless.
The worst for me was when Ben had to have stitches in his head at three. I thought I was going to kill someone if they didn't stop, and he was just sobbing and freaked out and terrified. Was terrified of haircuts for about two years after that, too.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I remember the oatmeal baths not really helping and scratching the hell out of my scalp because my hair hid the evidence.

Because books.
I remember very little but the copious amounts of calamine lotion and my grandmother sending me flowers. I got to answer the door when they came, because my mom knew, and I was very impressed with myself for warranting a delivery.

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
OK, thing on Access Hollywood about Hallie Berrys nursereys in her two homes.
(WHY am I watching this? Eh.)
Anyway, one home is in Malibu and one in the Hollywood Hills. How far apart is that? Not very, right?

Our wings are not tired
Yes, it is true that right now The Mouse is of the suck. Hopefully I can get them to pay my weekly rate for this overage in work which will more than cancel out the money I'd lose from having to drop the show at the beginning of April.

Can anything ever be wiped out entirely, though, given the international factor, where vaccines aren't the norm?
Smallpox is gone. Measles are almost gone, although unrest in Africa has set that back.
