fucking worms

fucking my back

Freezing! That's it. Just unreasonably cold.

getting sick fuck you warld bump

i blame the death twinkie

that is the twinkie with liquor in it?

oh yes.

marinade injectors = black magic

Don't get sick! That is no way to spend your week.

people are dropping like flies, i hope i'm not the typhoid mary of itr.

Nah, I'm still refusing to get sick; I'm sure YOU didn't infect my daughter with the cold/flu of doom, estela.

I'd better go sleep a bunch of hours. I like to sleep a lot in order to trick the viruses into thinking I'm dead and not worth bothering with.

good night.

good morning bump

bump

'n grind

I don't see nuthin' wrong.

Sara, how much water would a cup of tea displace? Also what causes the water retention capabilities of the electrolyte replacement fluids? The potassium? The sodium citrate?

Hmmmm, I wish I knew the answers to those questions, but I don't even have a book list for my first term of nursing school yet. (I may be slightly annoyed by this.)

But hey, if your tea is decaffeinated, it shouldn't displace much water at all (... since tea is mostly water). So switch to decaf if you're worried, is what I'm saying.

Wait, wouldn't sodium be a more likely suspect in causing water retention than, say, potassium? Low sodium diet plus diuretics is often the treatment for hypertension, so...

Thankig you

Yr welcome...?

Time to pick up the kids from school and then spend the next hour or so thawing out.

2138 UTC lots to do and don't want to do any of it bump

EMBARCHIE

heave, you are a mystery

John J, who is Franklin T? He is your last.fm friend and asked to be mine and must be an ilxor but i have no idea who

I hope John is still well enough to solve this social networking mystery. He complained of being sick yesterday and hasn't been around ILX much today; I'm visualizing him collapsed behind the counter at his guitar store, passed out on the floor.

But I suppose it is more likely he's out somewhere getting drunk.

that is a very troubling thought

(the passed-out-behind-the-counter part, not the getting-drunk part)

Ah, he's probably fine. I've just read The Stand too many times.

There are a lot of nasty viruses going around, but I doubt that any of them could kill John. It's much more likely that a person will do that.

I'M ALIVE (barely) bump

Also, Sara OTM

re: Franklin T. - I think I knew who he was at one point and now I don't remember.

SORRY FRANKLIN DUDE.

by tomorrow, i might remember, if i am not dead

Going to see if Talisker is still cheap at bottle-o near werk bump

Hope you're sleeping & feeling better, John. You know, with your doors locked and everything.

good night to all bump

right on. They still had Talisker on SPESH BROS. It was AU$60, normally it's about AU$75.
So I now have slightly more than 1 litre of it (nommnomomnom)

They had Cragganmore at the same price -- I've not had this tho?

I haven't had it either but I would buy it based on the awesome awesome name.

DO NOT FORGET TO POST TO THE TALISKER AUDIT THREAD

I want to visit Scotland just to hear people talk, honestly.

I just want to learn how to headbutt properly.

it's a skill to have

learning to be a butthead is half the battle

So we all have good reasons for wanting to visit Scotland, then.

in college, once, i came back from a party in a kilt. dead-drunk. i don't really remember how i ended up with it. but when i woke up in the morning i was dismayed to learn it was just a plaid skirt.

That is awesome.

But what else would a kilt be? I suppose when you're drunk it seems more exotic...?

Well, as opposed to the awesome ancestral wool tartan from the Scottish highlands, I was wearing a women's pleated cotton plaid knee-length from the Gap in Sangertown, New York

I really shouldn't be laughing at that, should I.

Sorry - but somehow that it was from THE GAP makes this story perfect.
