The Merry Month of Meh-mas-Day 3 The Late Edition
10For the love of all that is holy what do children get sick in December? First one kid gets sick than the other, then the wife or I and lastly whomever is left gets it.
Anyway I digress kids get sick because they are gross, they do not practice good personal hygiene (not that all adults do, you know I am talking about you George get off the couch and take a shower your mother does not want a body print of your perspiration on her couch in the basement at least take a shower snowflake) oh wait I am technically a millennial not sure how but I guess by definition I am barely a millennial so I guess I should be saying Ok Boomer to everything that someone from the baby boomer generation comes up with.
So what does everyone think of these stupid responses people have to each other? When did civility and the ability to listen go down the toilet?
On a lighter note the Fish and Invertebrates are coming. So fish tank updates will be forth coming.
Lastly male birth control. So this evening I made Mac and cheese and some hot dogs. My daughter likes to have the hot dog cut up and placed in the Mac and cheese. Ok fine, so I pull out the hot dog wiener (had to say it) and grab my kitchen sheets because I forgot to start the dishwasher and start snipping the hot dog and my loving wife comes up and says “yeah that’s pretty much a vasectomy” I died laughing. I guess even after 15 years she still is the best thing that has ever happed to me and it is our anniversary today. So back to those kids why is my anniversary present sick kids, killed my dinner plans and everything. Well could be worse we could be having another. And with that

Edited the post 4 times and each time the gif was a new mean girls gif. Not sure why
Netflix & Chill with Edward Scissorhands?
@mike808 I did like this movie, but it always annoyed the shit out of me.
Oh, let me make this human replica… Damn. Ran out of hands. Let’s see, spoons? Nah. Kitchen tongs? Forget that. Scissors! That’s the ticket.
/giphy Happy Anniversary!
When public officials regularly use berating language against anyone who doesn’t agree with their viewpoints – and it’s widly broadcasted – it makes it seem like it’s “acceptable”.
Dirt builds immunity.

…eventually, but not typically right off the bat. That’s why you don’t get some illnesses a second time (but you do get them the first time)
@chienfou @narfcake I was a dirty gross little kid (we ate dirt on double-dares), got every childhood disease imaginable back then once. Now I get nothing (of the communicable type), no matter how many people around me are dropping from the latest scourge. This often means I wind up having to take care of the sick family and friends. The medical profession informs me that this perceived invulnerability will taper off as I age (even more), so that’s something to look forward to …
@chienfou @narfcake @stolicat Also, some folks forget or don’t know that diet plays a role. If you got a virus once, it’s in your body forever (usually). Foods contain amino acids that either encourage or discourage viral activity. Eat the wrong thing when you’re also tired/taxed, and your little buddy virus makes an army.
@narfcake @stolicat I can remehmber ‘back in the day’ when it was common to take your kid specifically to the house with the chickenpox/measles etc. patient in order to get it over with in a controlled time frame…
/giphy good times!
@chienfou @narfcake Some of the (not-so) brilliant parents in the Bay Area anti-vac cult were organizing “measles play dates” to get their kids infected and therefore immunized - didn’t go so well when many of them developed complications and had to be hospitalized.
@narfcake @stolicat See Pox Party for reference to “before vaccines were commonly available…”
The Anti-Vac phenom is something else altogether
