Re: LTE 2.0
For my birthday, my sister and brother-in-law gave me 3 hours of house cleaning. Maria came and cleaned my house. When I changed jobs, my retiring boss paid me for my unused vacation. I decided to take a vacation from cleaning and the wonderful Maria is coming to my house every other week. It was so wonderful to come home to a clean house - and I didn't have to do anything but pick up stuff last night. I'm a very happy camper!
Life is good!

For animals, yes. Rabies can be detected in humans after combining a variety of tests. So if you've got to get something, rabies is better?captmojo wrote:Isn't that the same method to be definite of rabies?DevilAlumna wrote:

Good thing we didn't step in it.

Re: LTE 2.0
Rabies is definitely preferable to CJD. We are able to detect rabies and a series of vaccines takes care of the problem. CJD is untreatable and an aggressive, nasty prion. It is devastating.Miles wrote:For animals, yes. Rabies can be detected in humans after combining a variety of tests.

I have a bad case of the 'Can't help its'. I'm not sure, but I think the only real cure is more cowbell!
Actually, I broke down and went to a record store (remember those?) today after work. I couldn't stand it any longer. My purchase is suggested in the 'Endorsements' thread.

The twitterverse is abuzz with racist comments after Joel Ward scored the definitive goal in the closest series in NHL history to lift the Caps over the Bruins. Stay classy, Boston.

(I'm not a doctor, but I do have to figure this stuff out from time to time.) When my brother was in medical school, they had a specific class which dealt with country medicine and names that people out here in the sticks call their ailments and maladies. They also took a field trip to a farm so that they could see how people got injured in certain pieces of equipment.
Here are some examples of country medical terms:
Hard attack = heart attack
Athletic seizure = epileptic seizure
Cadillacs = cataracts
Oldtimers Disease = Alzheimer's
Chicken pops = chicken pox (Hey, even I called them "chicken pops" when I had them.)
Roaches on the liver = cirrhosis of the liver
Prostrate cancer = prostate cancer
Fireballs of the Eucharist = uterine fibroids
Sick as hell anemia = sickle cell anemia
The sugar = diabetes

Defendant's attorney asked what meds he took for schizophrenia. He said "Philippine." Must be a large pill.
I don't have a lot of sympathy for him, since he left a lady younger than me a widow, raising four fatherless children by herself.
At least I'll be retired when he gets out of prison.

Re: LTE 2.0
A woman I work with complains constantly about the sugar and high blood....it comes from her mommas side poor thing...I am sure her being north of 300lbs has nothing to do with it.
(She also has "poor feet" from her daddy's folks].

My feet are relatively flat and they are both lefts. But for the most part, unless I run into something, they feel fine.
