My DD has been an absolute beast these last couple days and I've been horrified, thinking that this is my life now. But then today I saw some red spots in her mouth so I think she may have contracted Hand Foot & Mouth. There was a notice at the gym that there had been an exposure. I'm ashamed at how relieved I am. Cheers!
OK im not a paranoid crazy I swear, but this is getting WEIRDER and WEIRDER. For such a significant event in Florida, there were only eight news reports about it. Six have since been deleted from their respective websites (pic related)...
This is CJD, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is a form of Mad Cow Disease. (a neurological disease that causes rabid like behavior in cows that is able to be spread to humans. See the info below
ORLANDO, Fla. — Thieves who helped themselves to a medical scanner and some lab machines set for disposal behind Florida Hospital may have picked up a truckload of trouble.
The equipment — half a million dollars’ worth — was used to detect a mad-cow-like brain disease, which could spread if it falls into the wrong hands.
Which it has.
On May 3, hospital-surveillance cameras captured a white pickup with dark panels on the truck bed roll up and remove the medical equipment from the hospital’s Center for Diagnostic Pathology, according to the Orlando Police Department.
The patient — a 52-year-old Winter Springs wife and mother of three — died nine days after the biopsy.
SYMPTOMS OF CJD: Blurred vision (sometimes) Changes in gait (walking) Confusion, disorientation Dementia that occurs over a few weeks or months Hallucinations Lack of coordination (for example, stumbling and falling) Muscle stiffness Muscle twitching Myoclonic jerks or seizures Nervous, jumpy feelings Personality changes Sleepiness Speech impairment

I'm about to drink one of MH's beers. I am trying to cut back while I am dieting but after the shenanigans with my kids at Picture People that I just lived through, I need one. Damn you, groupon.

I just realized I commented on Joolz's cute baby picture and didn't even welcome you. Sorry! Rest assured this won't be the last time I act like an ass.
Welcome- I also have a 2 year old. I will have a hug and a strong cocktail for you anytime.

With every form of BC there are stories about people who got pregnant. For us, it's definitely more effective than the mini pill or condoms. We suck at both of those. I will admit that every time I get sick I have a "ZOMG is this a Mirena pregnancy?!" moment, but it passes.

Nanda, they're referencing a previous thread in which I drunkenly admitted to enjoying some backdoor pleasure. I called it light anal play, they say my sense of lightness is warped. Tomato, tomahto. Either way, I'm never going to live it down.
Also, can we make just the tip/ it's never just the tip onesies? I feel that will take the hilarity to a new level.

I just came across these instructions for the best way to roast peeps with your glassblowing supplies. Please note that she recommends using a 'bushy flame'. I got your bushy flame right here, honey.

Go you!
This semester killed me too. I got 3.4- A in philosophy and Bs everywhere else, which is the worst I've ever done. I totally sacrificed my other classes to that motherfucker, but I am extremely proud of myself for doing well in his class with two small children.

I'm not doing anything this weekend. DH and I kept talking about making plans and then never did. We're attempting to take the kids to get pictures at the mall on Monday. I am usually opposed to that sort of portrait but there was a groupon. I'm not looking forward to it at all, but I need to use the thing before it expires. Damn my impulse buying.
