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.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
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!”
I am sympathetic! I have sympathy coming out of my bottom! It's just...limited to 5 minutes and practicality
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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
watching TICK, they are drinking SHINER BACH beer! Where did they get it!?! did they film in LA? I'm not a huge drinker, but I did like that Texan beer.
Even on your road trip?Nope, no jars needed on the road trip. See, I'm a guy. If I gotta pee on a road trip, I pull to the side of the road, and pee on a tree.
ION- I seemed to have lost the motivation to do anything today. Need haircut, food shopping, laundry, and continue to unpack.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My ex used to deny he was sick and instead contend that he didn't have a temperature, but I needed to turn the thermostat up or down.
I feel rotten with a fever and have much sympathy for people who admit to being sick. I have less sympathy who blame external factors for the way they feel or who won't take medicine. If someone *can* take something like ibuprofen but won't, then I have no patience with whining.
I become increasingly nonsensical as my fever rises. When I was growing up, my mother could pretty accurately guess my temperature by my degree of babbling.
Apparently Target has developed time travel. Its website just told me my prescription would be ready an hour before I entered it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Bock.
I get sick s rarely that when I do I'm blase about things that actually should get some medical attention. (I think my worst was a xouple of years ago when I was coughing up blood and figured I'd give it a few days and see if it went away. It did, but seriously?)
Sean, re your Stand tale. I saw the movie Speed the first time while on a bus on the freeway driven by crazy Quebecois driver. About 3/4 through he almost missed the exit and slammed on the brakes and I swear the whole bus screamed.
