The Isolated Blurt Thread IX: Insurrection

[Laurel]

Logged into Facebook for my quarterly "Delete All Notifications and Oh God Why Do I Still Have This Thing" party and learned that a friend from high school passed away. Thirty. Lupus. Fuck

I think that because of the (unfounded) panic over AIDS people are loathe to stigmatize ill people.

This isn't AIDS. Doctors and Nurses being really really careful have died. They are certainly not sharing needles or having sex with the patients. This is MUCH more communicable than most diseases and one of the quickest killers.

Not true. Though very fatal, it is MUCH less communicable than most diseases.

People who are sick with Ebola, on average, infect just 1.5 to 2 people.

In comparison, a person with a case of the measles infects 18 other unvaccinated people on average, an NPR story points out.

A person with the mumps infects 10 other people, on average. Even HIV and SARS are twice as contagious, on average, than Ebola, with a so-called R0 rate of 4. The R0 rate measures how many other people an infected person infects.

Ebola's R0 rate is similar to that of Hepatitis C, which has a rate of 2.

Waiting in line for my breakfast and I see this very good looking man near me. I wanted so badly to throw him on the counter and ride his cock for all I'm worth.

I wonder if any man would be offended if I said to them, "Excuse me, sir? Gods, you are hot and I'd love to fuck you. Have a nice day, sir." It would be even better if the man followed me saying, "Hey! Wait! What's your number??"

My cat comes when you call him, fetches his toys, talks to me when I don't pay attention to him and throws his whole body at me when he wants love.


He's a true weirdo.

Unless something very dramatic occurs in the last three months of 2014—
.......for the sixth year in a row and for the 10th year out of the last 13,
the return from holding cash will be less than the rate of inflation.


That means that government is penalizing you (it is, in fact, stealing from you) if you save.

a simple soup. marrow & potato, with some lovely, spicy lamb & beef sausages I bought at the farmers' market. the spices merged into the mix and the whole thing was wondrously warming & filling. we had garlic bread, and we had bread & butter.

 

[RobDownSouth]

bless you!

I larfed. Out loud, even.

Sounds very good and tasty. Perfect for a cool, damp evening.

Bummer, maybe I should have personally addressed that post. *sighs*

Just as well, you'd never fuck me anyway.

Sick like a fucking dog. I need candles, I need chanting, I need a choir of monks and a priest to administer the last rites. I don't even feel like death warmed over - I feel like death set out under a heat-lamp for six hours. I am the day-old McDonald's french fries of death.

The branding makes me feel like I need to go crash a testicular-cancer support group.

it makes me giggle every time I see it. and it tastes vile!
I suspect the icky taste contributes to the psychosomatic effect.

That's how you know the placebo effect is working!
