I own a thermometer. It's somewhere around here. I can't remember the last time I had enough fever to need one.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

~ma to Tom and Nora! (I'm really excited for you guys. NOLA always sounded so... like a place I need to visit some day. So).

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Lover sounded more French?
I am sympathetic! I have sympathy coming out of my bottom! It's just...limited to 5 minutes and practicality. I am an excellent nurse; I bring hot tea and tuck blankets and make soup.
But I also yank the stitches without compunction. Gently. But they have to come out, yo.

For fun times? Read The Stand while wracked with a severe fever from a flu you caught from everyone else you know. Good times, good times.

Tom and Nora, you will find it! You JUST MOVED. Everything is topsy-turvy. But you will love it.

Time for you to go exploring in New Orleans, Nora. Get out of the house tomorrow, pick a neighborhood and get a good lunch.

Yeah, the weather's supposed to be nicer tomorrow. Ooh, the sun's out now! That's exciting, haven't seen that since Friday.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
How much sympathy? Cause I'm willing to "Tough break," a paper cut, but I won't drop everything to kiss it better, or anything. My mother was absolutely determined that we wouldn't baby ourselves like my dad. But she missed some times that we were really sick...it's hard to tell Wonder Woman you don't feel right though.

“Not dead yet!”

Yep. This is me as well. And if someone's going to be grumpy at me when I'm trying to take care of them, then fuck off, you're on your own.

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.
I think the only people who have them are parents of young kids, and me, Howard Hughes wannabe.
I have one. I've kept one on hand for most of my adult life. Knowing if one has a fever is useful information. My attitude toward working sick tends to be "if I'm going to be miserable, I might as well get paid for it," but have to mind spreading illnesses to the residents. I, too, tend to leave off taking something just for a fever until it's well into the triple digits on the grounds that I want my immune system to cook the bugs faster. But then there are so many times when I feel miserably chilled when it is not associated with a fever.
Much getting-settled~ma for you, Nora and Tom.
