I was obsessed with the blue people of Kentucky, at one point in high school, after I read an article about it.

These are the kind of people I want to talk to very seriously about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide overdose.

And anecdotally I can supply the story of a friend who spent three days in the ICU! (For reals.) We should be very cautious who we let have access to that stuff.

Monday needs to knock this shit off, man.

My reaction to today has considerably more swearing in it.

IJS

I'm just having the hardest time getting anything done today and I'm just buried. Due to the business growing and changes in the ACA it looks like I need to both change my business structure and pull all of my employment, healthcare, and workers comp coverage in house instead of using employee leasing. So I'm emailing lawyers and insurance and banks today on top of trying to find the top of my desk. I'm also trying to drink enough coffee to get all of this done.

So yeah, it's a Monday

Oh, my, that sounds like a huge undertaking, ND. Good luck getting it all sorted out!

My health science class that is. One wanted to write about using positive thoughts and the placebo effect to cure cancer. Um... sigh? Oh and I have another who wants to explore the ethical implications of medications that are also considered toxins.

What if the medications are not only toxins but also natural? Does that totally cause a tear in their spacetime continuum.

Or like single elements like lithium, which are completely natural.

God. People are stupid.

Timelies all!

Ugh, congested again. Between the change in the weather and the petri dish known as daycare, I guess I had no chance of avoiding it. I was planning on getting my flu shot this week, but now I don't know.

Walking through Target yesterday, I discovered the Intimates section has Avengers pajama bottoms for women! And decided right then and there on the spot that I could indulge myself to the tune of $14.99.

So now I can say that my butt has a little Thor on it.

catching up....

Maria, we have the Nest thermostat here at home, and it's quite useful. I assume it would be even better in an environment with more extreme temperatures, so I could warm the house in anticipation of our arrival. (Or cool, if we had A/C. Which would have been nice this summer. I just *had* to be pregnant through one of the warmest summers in SF.) The Nest smoke alarm had some issues, but it looks like those are resolved, so I'll bet that M will install one here at home soon, too.

Why doesn't BK just use squid ink in the black hamburger buns in the US, too? I know I've seen squid ink pasta...

IE, "the scientific discovery that small amounts of dangerous chemicals have life-saving abilities is a no-no because you shouldn't ingest icky naughty things that could be harmful, m'kay?"

Ahahaha. Our Newborn Care class teacher flatly refused to go into any discussion at all about vaccines, even though some people clearly wanted to have a Very Earnest Discussion about the "dangers". I was happy, because I think a shouting match between very pregnant ladies would not have gone well.

Walking through Target yesterday, I discovered the Intimates section has Avengers pajama bottoms for women!

...what?! Well, clearly I need to go to Target this weekend, because I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED.
