Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.
I wish teachers were considered high risk. I swear we get exposed to just as many germs as the average health care worker.
Just as many (or more)
kids
certainly, but health care workers deal with a lot of
sick
kids (and adults) so they may have you on the germs count.
I think that's the sticking point -- that and that health care workers could then transmit to the other immune-compromised people they're working with
en masse.
Not saying that teachers (particularly primary teachers) aren't exposed to a soup 'o germs, just that the line gets drawn somewhere.

All this drama from me laughing at something another woman did not find humorous(that apparently 8, well, seven, other people liked well enough. Not counting one cause he made the original comment and everybody likes that, even if they said something incredibly stupid, right?)
If I had to apologize for stuff I laugh at every time I didn't suit somebody's standards, that's all I would do, all day long. Considering I also laughed at the beginning of the book "Homicide" when the sergeant said a dead body had a "slow leak" and he knew where to get a patch kit and fix him, I'd have to quit b.org and writing and change my blogging name to "mia_culpa" besides.
Fay, a few years from now I'd suspect billytea's Ryan to be the culprit; since it's not, obviously a kindred soul.
Stole a penguin!
That may be the cutest naughty thing a kid ever did. I'm completely melted.
I think teachers should be immunized primarily for the students protection, not their own. An adult with a strong immune system could easily be a carrier for influenza without experiencing symptoms strong enough to keep them from coming to work.
Fay, I have asked her to hug it out. I left "bitch" off because she seems to be peeved on feminist grounds, and, while I was born at night, it wasn't last night.
And I also *love* that my Secret Political Boyfriend, Representative Grayson, called Dick Cheney a vampire, or rather, called the flecks of blood on his teeth "distracting".
One person's "childish" is another person's "Shoutout!"
If that's wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Especially because it made me think of Spike carrying a gun around "cause it makes me feel all manly" and, apparently, Cheney shooting his boy in the face, never not funny.
So of course they do a frantic U-Turn and go hurtling back to the zoo, penguin in tow, and have to march kid and penguin off the bus to go and return the penguin to the zookeepers.
I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but BWAH!
And now for an article that made me go DUH: Antipsyochotic drugs cause weight gain. I gained 10 lbs on Abilify and my sister gained
25 in six weeks
on Seroquel.
ION, holy shit Fay! A penguin!
Okay, given our ongoing H1N1 vaccine discussion, I just found out that Ft. Carson (where we live) is giving out near-secret vaccinations tomorrow afternoon. I am planning on taking the kids out of school/daycare to take them over.
Frisco had the flu two weeks ago and I'm certain it was H1N1, but he wasn't tested. I don't know if I should get him vaccinated or not. I hate to take someone else's vaccine, but I want him protected.
I think teachers should be immunized primarily for the students protection, not their own. An adult with a strong immune system could easily be a carrier for influenza without experiencing symptoms strong enough to keep them from coming to work.
That's actually what I meant. And parents send their kids to school sick all the time, and teachers push themselves to go to school when they shouldn't. It's just a bad idea for everyone involved.
Which is why I'm home again, because I woke up with a shiny new symptom: puking. Whee. Where's House when I need him?
ETA Fay, you story just slayed me! OMGWTFPENGUIN!
