[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sorry, I misunderstood. Is your landlord responsible for the sidewalk directly in front of where you live, they way they are here?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. Those are usually OK. Yesterday was icy, but there was really nothing that anyone could do about that -- it was warm enough in the morning that some of the snow melted, and then later in the afternoon, it pretty quickly dropped to about 15 degrees.

May your dream jobs become available to you, MM and Hil.

Hey, yeah, Hil! We've got a weirdo Senator who says that employees shouldn't be required to wash their hands after going to the toilet (ew) but we hardly ever get snow down here, so...trade-off?

Thrive to spite them

I don't have the flu or the other thing they cultured me for. Which, I pretty much knew. If I'm not feeling better Thursday I'm supposed to go back and so they can ...figure out something.

The nurse I talked to said there are several viruses going around and that I'm probably like many other people who have gotten back to back virus. Or in my case, virus, infection, virus.

Working in retail doesn't help especially when everyone keeps coming into work sick and people go out shopping.

I have hand sanitizer (from Samsung) and I'll be using that a lot at work.

The last time I worked retail, There was another girl who trained in at the same time I did. She kept getting cold after cold. When I finally noticed her habits, I enouraged her to follow my practice of A)Always wash hands thoroughly before eating or drinking on break; and 2) If you absolutely have to rub your eye, nose or mouth, excuse yourself to the bathroom and wash hands before and after. That seemed to help her considerably. The second part is probably the hardest because we touch our own faces so much without even thinking about it.

I didn't get this sick last year, but last year was up at the pick up area and more isolatd from customers and co workers. This year there's more people.

Plus this year there's just more viruses going around. The nurse on the phone and the one I saw yesterday said it's a bad year and people keep getting sick and then catching something else.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I seem to be starting my second round of ick in 3 months. I do my best to wash my hands often and such...but my lungs HATE me right now.
