My living room is an orange -- terra cotta or pumpkin - take you pick. But now that the matching carpet is gone -- and none of the furniture matches -- it is tolerable. And oddly other people love it.
So can someone explain this swine flu thing to me. I get the WHO and CDC -- their job is to stop disease from spreading everywhere. But why are schools closing with just one or two kids sick? I may have missed something , but I haven't seen anything that says it jumps quickly, it looks like it behaves like a normal flu. Am I under reacting?
Kathy, is that Wheeling, West Virginia?
No, Wheeling, Illinois. We're in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, near Northbrook and Deerfield, and not too far east of Schaumburg. It's a nice bedroom community that grew out of the corn fields after WWII, so a lot of the tinier tract houses date to the 1950s. There are also lots of more recent subdivisions if I were to increase my maximum to $300K, but that ain't gonna happen.
Yay for babytea! Welcome and congrats to his wonderful parents!
Kat, I am so with you! I swear, as the kids get older I feel like my already tenuous grip on the time/space continuum is starting to slip.
I had no idea sea dragons existed, and after that piece I'm not convinced. They'e so surreal...
eta: So are snow rollers.
I've been at home the last two days with a bad cold and my boss just told me that, because people are panicking about swine flu, I should stay home until all my symptoms disappear. I guess she doesn't remember that my coughs often last for weeks. Um, yay?
P.S. ita, remind me you need more Adrian Lester pictures, thus forcing me to go look for them.
Wow, that Adrian Lester sure has a look about him. I wish I had more of his photos...
As for FCM, I don't know if Anderson Cooper is interested in me any. If he is, then F-Anderson, C-Baldwin, M-Lester. Otherwise swap Baldwin and Anderson.
Definitely F-Baldwin, since I've had a thing for him since I saw My Bodyguard in 1980. I'm guessing Anderson wouldn't go for me, so he'll have to be C, leaving Lester for the vows.
So, what ita said.
