Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tommy, have you taken your temperature? You may want to go to urgent care if your fever is too high. Feel better soon.
My front door is locked, but I only lock the back door at night. Until I moved here, I never locked my doors except when I left or went to bed. And actually I only lock the front door now because it basically never gets used. I've generally not lived in cities, but I still should probably be more careful.
Tommy, have you taken your temperature?
I did once today, and it was normal. I suppose I should try again....
Yeah, because hot sweats and chills are classic fever signs.
Oooh. I'm 100.1.
So when I feel cold, it means my body is trying to have a fever, right?
I worry about Sue. But a home intruder is one of my big fears.
Don't worry msbelle. I am locked up for the night.
I may seem lax, but I'm not stupid. I don't look my door, but it is usually closed, and it's a big steel door, so people can't see who's in the house or not. And I use timers all year round to make it seem like the house is populated whether I'm home or not. And I don't answer the door normally unless I'm expecting someone.
Besides, I have a mother who worries enough for six people, I think she's cornered the market on worrying for me. You worry about yourself and little mac.
Having a house will be interesting to my securityfu. Really isn't that different that apt here, but still. More doors.
I sometimes wish I lived in a the same hood as all my friends. Most of the time, I guard my privacy fiercely and get all whacked out over unexpected drop-ins and have to shove that chick into a closet. But sometimes, sometimes I wish I could just drop by or be dropped by for an hour or 5 minutes or an impromptu last minute dinner without planning and scheduling and all that crap.
So when I feel cold, it means my body is trying to have a fever, right?
Your body is also warmer when compared with the ambient temperature.
As a veteran of many respiratory infections, my rule of thumb for going to the doctor is if I'm coughing up opaque greenish stuff (secondary bacterial lung infection); my face hurts and it hurts to touch my sinuses (secondary bacterial sinus infection); or I have an earache (secondary bacterial ear infection). Even if it's something that doesn't need an antibiotic, if it's hard to breathe or you're coughing too much to sleep, you can get drugs to feel better.
I usually turn to a stiff drink and a lot of blankets.
Huh. I don't lock my doors except when I go to sleep or leave. But there's literally only one other person on my street, and maybe a good dozen within a mile. A home intruder would have to go pretty far out of his way.
Am I being naive?
Probably am, huh. That sounds like stuff people would say on "It Takes a Thief" that I would mock.
