Wow. There are fifty very very brave nuclear techs in Japan trying to stave off a nuclear catastrophe.
That is incredibly humbling. I can't begin to imagine volunteering for that. I don't say or think this very often, but god bless them.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

a guy made bacon bourbon
Just when I thought the bacon craze was played out and tired, some mad genius has to go and do this. I think I may need to have this for the next Baconfest I attend.

Really simple -- cook some bacon, mix the fat with some bourbon, put the mixture in the freezer to separate out the fat, strain the bourbon and voila! Quite possibly a project for this weekend.

There's a house infused bacon bourbon at our neighborhood bistro (Coquette) that always looks tempting...

There was a fireman at Chernobyl who was caught in the initial explosion who said he would stay in there and try to shut off what he could because he knew he was dying anyway and was going to spend his last hours/minutes trying to save as many as he could.
Firemen. Very cool people.

I think you need to try this, Nora. If not for yourself, then for all of us.
I'm also amazed that Hungry Mother doesn't have something like this. I'll have to run that by Ned the next time I'm in there.

Chernobyl had some remarkably brave people and some remarkably stupid and arrogant people. Sometimes they were the same people. When I read Grigori Medvedev's The Truth About Chernobyl, which was his report on the accident that was suppressed by the Soviet government, I either cried or yelled all the way through.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you tried heavy duty antacids? It sounds somewhat like gastric reflux at its worst.
I've had the pain before (it's pretty unrelenting and lasts for five to ten hours) and this was the first time I tried Tums. I don't know if that's related to it also being the first time I upchucked. I still feel like crap, but the intense pain is gone. So...win?
I have a GP appointment in a month. I'll put it on the list. Statistically speaking it will happen a couple of times before then.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, ita. I hope the GP can figure it out.
IOoopsN, on the days I want to wear a dress to work (like today), I've gotten in the habit of throwing on comfy clothes for radiation, and then changing once I get to work.
I've been here since 8:30, and I only realized about 5 minutes ago that not only had I not changed, but the outfit I wanted to change into was still in the car.
