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 remember a photo from SF2F that meets that description!
Oh thank god, my boss agrees that the person vexing me can fuck off.
It was a full bone marrow transplant that has removed signs of HIV from a patient. Great news, but not a large scale option for treatment.
Timelies all!
Mr. S is having a friend from school over for a playdate on Saturday. We need to clean a lot of things in the next few days.
The guy was being treated for Hodgkin's, which involved killing off his immune system and replacing it with new blood marrow -- and the donor had genes known to protect against HIV. So in order to get cured, he had to be nearly killed.
Here's a WashPost story that covers it much better than I can: [link]
Susan Butcher in the early 90s.
I have met her! Multiple times! She's so awesome. Were I more outdoorsy, I would have tried to follow in her footsteps.
Sheryl, I have avoided play dates at the house so far for just that reason.
Since there is zero chance of getting to see Captain Marvel this weekend, I picked up Ant Man and the Wasp at the library so that I'll at least be caught up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe when I do see it.
After failing hard at being social, I'm going to a live Dear Prudence podcast tonight, going to Captain Marvel tomorrow night, and Captain Marvel again on Saturday afternoon. This might be a bit Much.
I don't count Lyft driving as being particularly Social, even though sometimes I have some delightful conversations or get to hear stuff or whatever.
But this week I have: gone to a services orientation at the employment center on Monday, spent most of the day yesterday tramping around Old Sturbridge Village with a friend visiting, and tomorrow I go to another, hopefully useful 2 hour class on Writing Your Resume at the same center.
That's about 300% more social than usual for me.
Oh, and today I got fitted for a bra, which dammit should count as social because the saleswoman was very nice about it and actually found something that fits my odd (if perfectly functional) torso.
So make that 400%.
