Wash ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okay, the numbers being bandied about in regards to the flu in Mexico are alarming, if true.
I was hearing 1400 people have contracted it, with quotes of 20 dead, and maybe 81 dead.
By my quick calculations that's either a 70 to 1 (approx) survival rate or in the case of 80, a 17-to 1 rate.
Scary numbers. No wonder Mexico City is in lockdown.
OMG. Just watched first episode of Leverage. It is made of win!
Thanks for the reminder that Leverage is good fun. I only caught it a couple times live and somehow always forgot it was on. Must acquire for viewing this summer. Summer is my time for catching up on tv I missed the rest of the year. Most shows are more enjoyable in commercial free marathon viewing.
Steph, that was a wonderful story.
not fair. I finally get a morning/afternoon off, right? How many weeks has it been? I turn off ALL alarms. Bathroom, cellphone, iPod, computer. All. What happens? I wake up without a gorrum alarm at 9ish. Body still tired, apparently brain is not. Go figure.
Fay, that is crazy. If you want to be discrete, um. Why post? ANYTHING!
Is this the last paper, Nora?YES IT IS!
SQUEE! You're almost there, lady!
What a great tribute, Steph.
ION, I (finally) went shopping yesterday and got:
Yay for new clothes!
If a bag of flour is past it's "best by" date, but it still looks and smells perfectly fine, it's OK to use it, right?
Thanks, omnis. I think I'm going to use it anyway -- it looks perfectly fine, and I really don't feel like going out to get new flour, when I really don't need too much of it for this recipe. (It's a bread recipe that's mostly whole wheat with a bit of white. I've got plenty of new whole wheat flour, but just the end of an old bag of white.)
I feel all accomplished today. I have made curried tempeh mango salad and done one load of laundry and two loads of dishes and organized my kitchen shelves a little. I found a can of beets at the back of a shelf. Why did I buy a can of beets? I only like fresh beets.
Ugh. I got overheated and passed out. I took a nap, but I still feel really off-kilter. Just paged the covering doctor. I'm really frustrated, though. And I'm out at my parents', so they're really concerned. I'm supposed to be out here helping them, not causing concern!
