QUOTE(Grits @ Jan 10 2011, 06:07 AM) So I agreed to look after the science lab’s pet snake over the school break. “This is going to be great! You’re going to love Flakey,” says Child 1. “Flakey, that’s a nice name. What does she eat? Meal worms, crickets?” I say. “Mice. Two every week.” “Oh.” I’m thinking of Child 2, the rodent lover. “Do they squeak much on the way down?” “No, because they’re frozen.” “Micicles! Ha ha, that’s great. Phew.” “She likes her food to be warm, so you have to microwave them.” “Micro…what?” This is not good. I’m thinking there is no way to back out now without looking like a big baby. The science teacher is super cute, so this is not an option. I decide I will microwave the mice, throw out the microwave, then possibly burn down the kitchen depending on what microwaved mice smell like. “OK.” “Ha ha! I was just kidding about the microwave. I just wanted to see if you’d do it.” The things we suffer at the hands of loved ones. ...did you actually microwave it? -------------------- Madness Helps Me Save Myself Nemesis Standing on the cliffs that kiss burning winds We are rising together Brazen, exalting, a hiss of triumph rings I am yours ...Yours immortally |

No, happily it didn’t go that far. The whole conversation took place in the car where I was unable to scrutinize him for signs of dishonestly or humor, since I was driving. If the mice had actually gone into the microwave, he would have been the first one throwing up!
 They do have to be thawed, but room temperature was good enough for Flakey. This post has been edited by Grits: Jan 12 2011, 11:27 PM -------------------- Jerric's Story * Darnandex * Screenshot: Cyrodiil Meadow |

Hey y'all just dropping a line to let you know that I finally landed an EMT gig, I am alive and working hard, and I hope to get some updates in soon enough, especially as I will finally be able to afford internet in my place. Expect something around february-ish. Hope you're all well. Happy-all-the-holidays-I-missed.

Congratulations Black Hand! Being an EMT is a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
Seriously, it's one of the most invaluable and underappreciated jobs out there. My grandmother, my dad, and even myself have had positive encounters with EMT's. At the risk of sounding like pretentious Count Leyawiin, you're doing a great service to humankind! -------------------- |

Congrats Blackie, glad you've found a job, and one which helps people. I should imagine that is fairly satisfying.

I don't know if I mentioned the terrible, awful, miserable cold I had a couple of weeks age, but I lived. Last week Mr. Grits began coughing and sniffling. Since I am such a loving, supportive wife I have concealed my accusations of histrionics and being a big baby as sympathy that his "man-cold" was far more severe than anything I had to suffer.
 Today Mr. Grits sought medical attention after receiving an email from the man in the next office that read simply, "GO HOME." He returned to the house feverish and triumphant, bearing a diagnosis of bronchitis, sinus infection, and pneumonia. He got his meds on the way home, removing that task as an option for my redemption. Selfish! Also I can't even think of a way to point out that it's only a little bit of pneumonia without sounding churlish. Sigh. -------------------- Jerric's Story * Darnandex * Screenshot: Cyrodiil Meadow |

Men!
Why, I suffered bronchitis for months before finally recovering - without antibiotics, I may add. I'm of the school - if you can't prove bacterial infection, you don't need antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics for minor things like sinusitis, bronchitis, ear infections, ad nauseam has led to the emergence of nasty bugs like drug resistant strep/staph, likewise TB and other horrid things. *Getting off yet another soapbox* But a fever? Honestly, if you have a fever, you don't need to go to work, you need to go to the doctor! Can you tell that I'm suffering bronchitis after a cold two weeks ago? Yep. When I get colds, they move to my lungs and stay there. I went to my doctor once about that darn cough, and that's what she said it was. So I'm drinking a lot of bronchodilators to help with the cough (black tea contains natural bronchodilators), and I'm slowly getting better. -------------------- |

I’m with you on the overuse of antibiotics. Sinus infections make me mean, but I generally can get over them.
Another gem from today was his announcement that he had 22 hours to get better before he got on the plane. Um, no. There is not going to be a plane.  I hope your recovery is sudden and complete! (Get lots of rest.) Sorry, I had to say that! -------------------- Jerric's Story * Darnandex * Screenshot: Cyrodiil Meadow |

Yep. Who knew that latex gloves, purell hand sanitizer, and constant handwashing was actually a bad thing? Yes its important for surgical procedures, those with low-to-no immune systems, but for the rest of us, we evolved with natural immunity after hundreds of thousands to millions of us died from disease and infection. We've virtually eliminated the process, making us more susceptible for future generations. Whereas we haven't stopped evolving, bacteria constantly does...

So I'm drinking a lot of bronchodilators to help with the cough (black tea contains natural bronchodilators), and I'm slowly getting better. Urgh, that brings me back to middle school when I was practically asthmatic. Almost any form of physical exertion let me to fits of coughing, and I mean REALLY bad. It was horrible, especially during PE. Ended up taking three kinds of medicine for it, including one purple cough syrup that made me want to vomit, it tasted so horrible.  Thank god it went away... I really don't want to think about what life would be like for me if it ended up being permanent. EDIT: Wow, kidney failure... ouch. Hope you get well soon, mALX. Things won't be the same here without you're delightful personality!
