Holy crap Griff - (no words)

That really sucks, Griff. I hope all the inevitable tests come back clean. :(

i was just remembering an episode of COPS i saw where a cop gets pricked. he was talking about boiling it in bleach.


if you had a pair of tin snips in your right hand, and accidentally pricked your left pinky with a known AIDS infected syringe, what would YOU do?

see a doctor right away; there are drugs you can take which may inhibit the virus

How about the Burma junta impeding cyclone aid -- visibly out of sheer racism, bigotry, and a crimes-against-humanity degree of shitheadedness?

If you were them, would you trust the American Military? It is upsetting, though, I hope a way is found soon to get the aid in.

When my friend was doing a volunteer program in Africa, they told all the girls that if they were raped, do not go to the police, go to the hospital first to get the drugs. Apparently if it's administered in the first few hours, it's extremely effective. [/sidenote]

...you know that feeling, when you are soooo tired you feel sick?

Sundae--I am so sorry for you. I grieve with you, my friend. :hugs:

Yeah, I keep hoping for some good news about Dylan. Hang in there, girl. :(

I have a good friend who is a hard-core alcoholic. When I first met her several years ago, we would go out all the time. I eventually had to stop because I felt like I was contributing.

I still go out with her--occasionally--because I like her and we have fun. At least until she gets way too drunk. But I can't do it too much, because it's depressing. All her friends are like that, too--it's all about the alcohol. Having lost a marriage to this, it's not something I can enjoy.

Plus, I can't keep up!

Bought something from Ebay which I really wanted, and after I bought (and paid for it) I get a message from Ebay that said the listing had been pulled and I should apply for a refund of my money.

WTF? Couldn't they have pulled the listing before I purchased it? It's completely disappeared, so I can't even check out why. Maybe the seller had horrible feedback or something (usually don't pay too much attention to this).

Maybe I'll still get it, dunno. I have 45 days to request a refund from Paypal.

Mr. Clod just left for a business trip and will be gone until Friday.

I will be alone with two kids all week, the main challenge of which will be managing to eat a reasonable dinner every night without the motivation of cooking for someone else, because eating is a fucking chore. Then I will take delivery of the two stepkids on Friday and deal with dinner/bedtime for all four of them before Mr. Clod gets home late in the evening, and then the next morning my MIL arrives :rolleyes: along with a bunch of other relatives and we host a birthday party for the toddler.

Clod, you need this product:

Usually items get pulled because they are against ebay or copyright guidelines, Cloud. Not because the seller is shonky.

Was it something like that?
