Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Buffista parents, would you take a child to the ER for a 104.5 fever but no other symptoms (apart from perhaps being sleepier than usual, but that's a hard one to gauge)?

urgent care for sure, but E rarely runs a fever.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Not a parent, but I'd be worried enough about anything over 102 to seek medical care.

Because books.

Absolutely, Kate.

Thanks, everyone. She's had a few fevers that have come and gone pretty easily, but this is the highest she's ever had and I'm worried. M just picked her up from daycare and is on his way to the ER now. Ugh ugh ugh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Buffista parents, would you take a child to the ER for a 104.5 fever but no other symptoms (apart from perhaps being sleepier than usual, but that's a hard one to gauge)?

Yes, a fever that high can cause problems in and of itself.

Little kids can run much higher than adults safely, but that's a number worth checking out, I think.

I found out today that today is my Friday. We lost an office worker last week and therefore we are down one person to cover the days around Christmas. I semi-volunteered to move days since I was not traveling anywhere, so now I will cover the 23rd and 26th if we have work, but I am off the rest of this week on my vacation days. My plan is to do ALL OF THE THINGS IN MY HOUSE.

Also, it is snowing like crazy, but I think not accumulating too much yet? No one is ever getting home tonight.

We are getting that overnight and I am hoping it is terrible from 5-7 AM so there might be a chance for a snowday. Especially since our boss has bookended our Xmas lunch with meetings giving exactly an hour for to go to pub, eat lunch and get back to the office. I didn't want to do the lunch, but it was cleverly boxed in so I couldn't avoid it.
