Mine are pretty damn close. I was listening to the episode and flipping back and forth between "EW. EW. EW." and "I wonder if he can still ship to Canada? I've always wanted to see Victoria Island."
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hey, now leeches serve a valid medical purpose! Just not usually blood letting per se. But hmm, what about fire cupping?
I seriously got to back away from the looking up odd medical treatments. I just love looking into that kind of stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Survey question: If you have a 62 page chapter of a German book that was never published in English, would you assume that running an OCRed pdf file through Google translate would work well enough to get you a translation you could submit to a government agency?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, there are a lot of medical procedures that actually work that elicit a visceral "eww" reaction. Like maggots to clean wounds, or leeches to help remove excess blood pooling in transplanted limbs and fingers. And fecal transplants. Anyone else heard of that one?

Right? But then again, if it works for other autoimmune disorders? That'd be something.
Exactly!

The one time I mentioned this hookworm/leeches/laudanum idea to my (very awesome) naturopath MD, she snorted and said, "Don't even. I know you just want the laudanum. Shut the fuck up, and take your Xanax 'script."

Lee,
is the German technical? If it isn't particularly technical, I would say "yes" - provisionally.

Yep, very technical.
eta: I am also not convinced that would make a difference, because there are printing issues with that large a document.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'll pass on the hookworms and stick with eating local honey, which is a lot cheaper than the desensitization shots I used to get.

That's right! I have a sound medical reason to eat spoonfuls of honey straight from the jar! BRB, I have to go channel my inner Winnie the Pooh.

I thought the honey thing was recently debunked?
