[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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

So ... uh... if a person leaves work early due to low-grade fever and cough... then takes a couple Tylenol, and the fever seems to be edging upwards... Does that mean it is no longer a low-grade fever, or is it more likely to mean that the Tylenol ain't bringing it down?

If you are insured, your insurance almost certainly has a 24 hour consulting nurse line you can call and ask that question. If you are uninsured, or your insurers are foolish enough not to maintain such a line, then call the local urgent care clinic and get their opinion.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

thanks, Typo Boy.

Ok, not so bad - yes it is getting worse, no it is not too worrisome yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.

A high school classmate of mine has died due to a condition called a Thyroid Storm brought about by H1N1. Yikes.

I had never heard of this. I hope I never do again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yikes! I'm sorry about your classmate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

congrats, teppy! Welcome to the exciting and terrifying world of home ownership.

Wrong Steph, Steph.

Hee! True 'dat. But let me add my congratulations to Stephanie -- yay house!!!

A high school classmate of mine has died due to a condition called a Thyroid Storm brought about by H1N1.

H1N1 can also cause something called a Cytokine Storm, which is what has been responsible for many of the H1N1-related deaths that occurred in otherwise healthy people in their 20s-40s. It's very freaky.

That's awful about your classmate.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm not close to her or anything but my sister knows her family and goes to the same church. It's horrific for her kids, who are still pretty young. I think she may even have a grandchild.

I'm hating on H1N1.

Stephanie, I'm so glad they accepted your offer! The house sounds wonderful!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's such a shock, Cash. I have ended up in a couple of exchanges with people who say they're not getting the vaccine because it's "too dangerous." I keep pointing out that the flu kills thousands of people every year.
