We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I'm picturing pre-revolutionary Russia with a bunch of tanning salons now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If husband and I think I have a fever, but the thermometer disagrees, how many times am I allowed to retake my temperature to get the reading I want?

I mean, I don't want to have a fever, but it would be nice to have some indication that I feel this crappy because I'm actually sick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And now I am kind of wanting some kind of Chekhov/Jersey Shore mash up. Despite being largely unfamiliar with both.

Ugh, I hate that, when you're sick but can't really point to evident symptoms like a fever. I hope tomorrow is better, Dana.

Completely unrelatedly - adding the waterfall to the pond was way easier than I thought it would be. Backyard is coming along. Unfortunately, that's at the expense of the front yard which is looking pretty raggedy.

Dang, Hil is like magic!

Dana, maybe your usual temperature is low, so a regular temp for you is a fever?

Dana,

drink fluids. It is good you don't have a fever. Take it again in 2 hours. Lay on the couch, with remote in hand.

I think maybe our thermometer is crap. Though the most recent temp was 99.4, and I do think I usually run a little cool.

If you feel like you have a fever, treat yourself as if you do, whatever the thermometer says.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hold the thermometer up to a lightbulb for a few seconds.

What? It worked in junior high school!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hil is magic. She helped me out too! (With a birth father question as well)

I love Mr Finnbar Fancypants McGee!

Dana, I run low normally, and 99 is a fever for me.
