I know I'm being snippy and defensive, but, basically, here's how I peg the numbers:
- 0--mythical beast--I had a day and a half last month. Creepy as fuck.
- 3--hurts, but it's not going to stop me from doing anything at all
- 5 --well, I'll stick to the important stuff, which includes movies and seeing, like 1 or 2 friends
- 7 --the sandpaper has started
- 8 -- not as bad as 9
- 9 -- I'm going to the ER now. I can get home from work,but I can't get *to* anywhere from home under my own steam, and once I get there, I'm not useful. Don't touch me, don't bring food near me, and I dimmed the light and volume for very good reason
- 10 -- I can't go to the ER. It all hurts and I won't be able to make it downstairs to the cab. It was nice knowing you.
- 11 -- 10+explosive puking
I'm not sure of how to convert back and forth to Messrs (or Misses, or any combo thereof) Wong and Baker's scale.
I just can't even imagine.
Damn, I'm sorry, ita. I wish I had something even remotely productive to offer.
Oh,ita. Oh,msbelle. I don't even know what I can say.
So NPR has a headline that says:
A new study shows that among 16- to 29-year-olds, 8 in 10 have read a book in the past year.
Aren't almost 50 percent of those people in school of some sort, where they would have to read at least one book a year?
You don't have to read a book in school!
Dear Ohio, I'm sorry: [link]
It sounds really awful in Ohio: [link]
And it a separate post, I'm so sorry ita and msbelle.
My heart goes out to all my Cincy and Cleveland relatives!
It sounds really awful in Ohio:
We just don't answer the phone unless it's a number we recognize. When Caller ID shows "Unknown Name / Unknown Number," we ignore it.
Honestly, we haven't gotten much mail, but then our neighborhood skews ridiculously Democratic. It's entirely possible that the GOP has written it off and doesn't want to waste money on mailings to our hippie socialist gay enclave.
TV is the only thing that's annoying, b/c of the commercials.
