Complete bullshit. I'm sorry, {{{JZ}}}
Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can see why you were picked, jz, due to your combination of intelligence, powerful common sense and loving heart, but it has to be so hard on you.
ION, it looks like the DH has been laid off. They have told him he's furloughed and no new content is to be assigned, paid for or to go up on the site he edits for two weeks. Maaaaaaaybe they're thinking about starting the site back up in two weeks, but neither of us think that's likely. Why they just didn't shut the whole thing down now, instead of the two weeks thing, who knows.

Scrappy is, as always, wise.
Also, so sorry to hear your DH has joined the unemployed ranks, Scrappy. Lots of that going around right now.
I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so. This is bullshit.
Absolutely.
I'm sorry to hear that, Scrappy.
I'm sorry, Scrappy.
Oh, boo, I just realized that my grocery order as delivered definitely didn't contain any matzo. I knew it was a longshot but I was hoping. Oh well, I have some matzo meal from last year or maybe the year before still...
it is, indeed, bullshit.
I'm sorry to see all my friends go through the trauma and hassle of declining parental health--especially all at the same time, and in the middle of an international health crisis. It's so hard at the best of times, when things are calm and you can visit them. This is just awful for everyone.
Which reminds me: I need to do my own paperwork!
It really does suck, JZ.
Scrappy, I'm sorry.
Can someone please get to sacrificing the virgin already? Trying to appease a Christian deity hasn't worked, so I'm ready to try the Greek and Roman ones.

Smash Anya's goddamn amulet already.

Last I was at the store, there was a ton of matzo, so I could mail some to you?
I don't know if I actually can, though--the whole thing is purely guesswork at this point, a thing that they think might work based on other things that have worked in the past for different conditions. I still want to do it, but there's no guarantee it'll help for this, and so far my doctor isn't responding to any query about it at all.
But you have antibodies and you believe in both science and helping others so the opportunity is there. Nothing is guaranteed but no one can work with antibodies until there are people who recover.

It truly is. I'm sorry you are faced with it right now.
Be glad there is paperwork. That saved me when my Mom died in June. I mean, her Advanced Directive wasn't needed but her Living Will was a gift I can never thank her enough for leaving to me.
