We don't get in until Sunday morning (at 6:30am), so that would be the day. It's so funny that we live like 4 hours away but will meet up on another continent.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

And of course we are all fools to think he was the mastermind of 9/11 anyway. She has proof. She has researched this stuff.
Oh my god! I just found out that my tax accountant is a 9/11 conspirasist! He's really smart about taxes though. but ugh.
So excited about Flean & Kate P going to Ireland! I'll have to get Dublin tips from you guys for our trip in July. I want to go to the Library bar!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Of course she also is homeschooling because she can't have her child brainwashed by the system. And she wouldn't give the kid immunizations either.
How is it that some folks do get the critical thinking thing and others do not? The antivax stuff makes me bananas.
There's an article on the costs of containing an outbreak: [link]
You're not just risking your kids' lives, but everyone else's. It's so completely selfish and based on information made up by morons and frauds.

Art Crawl!!!
Man, I don't know what I'm going to do - I have doctors I like at my current provider but the state has switched HMOs and the (the clinic) doesn't take either of my choices. They still take the regular insurance that I can choose but not for long (apparently).
Why are they willing to cut all university employees out of their patient-base?

Heh, I was thinking that too. OK, we'll try to get together on Sunday. I'll let you know when we have firmer plans. Woo! Library Bar!

Greg Laden's blog on Science Blogs has a nice bit on vaxes today:
The vaccination does make the baby cry, so why do it?
To spoil the plot a bit: because dying babies are usually too weak to cry in their last hours and are very very quite until they pass away.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
flea, I'm so glad you're going to go on the Dublin trip -- first because it'll be a treat that you really really do deserve. The second is that you might have to make a huge life-changing decision based on it, so you need all the data you can get in person. This will be money really well-spent in the long run. (Sort of like an expensive house inspection on a house you don't end up buying. If you did, you'd have wanted to know.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Once again, Nova has decided I don't have enough cat hair on me. Thanks, cat.
