Question to the waking-up hivemind: "epidemics" is just the plural of "epidemic", right? There's no other meaning to the addition of the "s" to "epidemic"?
Thanks!

I enjoyed the women's all around. (Mostly because I was rooting for Liukin.) I missed Khorkova AND Bela's crazy reaction. (Okay, I wasn't watching all that closely.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Not so far as I know. Epidemic s is just more than one epidemic.

Yes, also Hi Nilly!! Superstitious gestures on your behalf sent as well.

Thanks!
So my fingers are just playing tricks with me when they insist on putting "s" in the ends of each "epidemic"s I try to write, silly little things.
Then again, they prefer the word "teh" above all else, maybe with the one exception of typing "is" instead of "in" and all sorts of other no-spell-checker-in-the-verse-can-stop-me fun and games. so who knows that's on their minds.

I woke up to the smell of fire. .. or maybe the smell of something that has burned? I wonder if I could have slept through a housefire somewhere on my street.
Disturbing.

In re superstitions - if you can't find a piece of wood to knock on, your head is an acceptable substitute.

sumi, I hope everything it's OK, and it's just a neighbor not paying attention to their breakfast or something.

Does the "knock on wood" superstition have anything to do with Christianity and the wood Jesus' cross was made of? Some people here say that it does, and therefore there are some religious people who try not to knock-on-wood, because of the religious connotations.

Um, will it at least be over early?

It will be over at 9, which is (un?)fortunate, because I have a 9-10am meeting after that.
Good heavens I'm looking forward to Happy Hour already.
