Now my head is pulsating and my feet shivering. Using voice over commands cut I can not type anymore I think I should medication

That doesn't sound good at all. Get well soon!

[Carl-E]

Masterpeice is hardcore. 


I mean, would you be able to livepost your vomit?   


Hope you're feeling better soon, but some of those symptoms, if not recurring, may be from a virus and not just a migraine - you may want to see a vet doctor. 

[Masterpiece]

I took some painkillers and I got better. Slept through the entire night though.

Yesterdays comic helped.

[Masterpiece]

Guess where I'm going tomorrow.

[Loki]

To Britain? To the doctor?

[Masterpiece]

Well maybe I should have posted this in the Beer Thread.

[Carl-E]

Ahh.  Munich, then. 

[Masterpiece]

I already live in Munich, but yes.

[Akima]

When you eat lunch, are you munchin' in München? 

[Masterpiece]

Akima that was horrible.



Also, yes

[The Seldom Killer]

Are you ever lunchin' on Zwiebelkuchen in München?

[GarandMarine]

Akima: Master of common sense, Queen of terrible puns.

Interesting day yesterday.  I unexpectedly may have learned a bit of 100-year old family gossip.

I posted on Facebook that it was Home Children day in Ontario, with a bit about my grandparents and great uncle.  A cousin in England ** reposted it, then my sister did.

Turns out the cousin hit up my sister yesterday to find out more.

It turns out that back before my grandfather came over as a home child, there was a split in the family due to a brother being born of mixed race.  The family kind of fractured (some cut ties with mixed race brother, some did not), and English cousin and my sister had different ideas as to what might have happened that led to 2 brothers being sent to Canada as orphan labourers.  In any case, the UK split in the family was something that I don't think any of us in Canada even knew about.  Apparently, the English family is only recently starting to reconnect, in much the same way that the Canadian family is starting to reconnect wtih England. 

E

** I've probably told the story somewhere else on here, but we've really only been reconnected to the England family for less than 20 years.

Have you ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie? 

[Welu]

Car broke.

Do I feel a pun formin' in Norman?

[Loki]

There was a pun formin' in Norman,
which came from the brain of a foreman.
Distracted, he died, not paying attention; alas, the obituary won't mention
what pun might've been formin' in Norman.

[BeoPuppy]

I seem to have acquired an extra child for the day, so my own, the one I look after on thursday and one extra makes three. It's a zoo.

[Barmymoo]

Being home sick is dangerous - I just applied for another job. It's essentially one I already do, except this time it's paid, so that would be an improvement.

dangerous?  You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.

[lepetitfromage]

It depends.....is it an additional job or a replacement for a current job? I could definitely see an additional one being dangerous. Taking on too much could lead to even more sick days.....

[Barmymoo]

Little Cheese got it. I have an odd compulsion to apply for any and all jobs I might be able to do, and to be honest often ones I wouldn't be able to do, and then I find myself far too busy.

[cesium133]

I heard back from one of the professors I emailed. He wants me to go to Maryland for an interview, and it looks pretty promising. 

[ankhtahr]

From the WCDT:

But I bought materials for pancakes today. Tomorrow is national holiday, so I can't go buy food.

yay, moronic flatmate.

He left the flour open, as well as the cabinet, and I wasn't in the kitchen for quite a while, and fucking spiders had built a nest in the flour package. The fuck.

So now I had some weird failed omelette/scrambled eggs monstrosity which contained far too much milk and thus tasted sweet, because of the sugar in the milk.

So I ate that, it tasted weird, and I'm still hungry. National holidays suck.

Ooh, whereabouts?

[ev4n]

She asked, as though Maryland was that big....

/hides   

[nekowafer]

It takes me 2.5 hours to drive to the furthest place I've ever been in Maryland. So there.

[cesium133]

I heard back from one of the professors I emailed. He wants me to go to Maryland for an interview, and it looks pretty promising. 

Ooh, whereabouts?

Gaithersburg. And Maryland is surprisingly long. It takes about 2.5 hours to go from Gaithersburg to my mom's house in Allegany County.

[nekowafer]

Heh. Heh. Long.

[cesium133]

Yeah, look at the map. Maryland's totally got a boner for West Virginia.

[jwhouk]

It takes me 2.5 hours to drive to the furthest place I've ever been in Maryland. So there.

I drive 2 1/2 hours in any direction and I'm still nowhere near civilization.

[cesium133]

I'm not entirely certain if Allegany County counts as civilization.

[Lines]

Yeah, look at the map. Maryland's totally got a boner for West Virginia.

Well have you seen those curves? Hoo boy.

[Akima]

She asked, as though Maryland was that big....

Meh... There are no large states in the USA. If you add Alaska and Texas together they are still smaller than Western Australia. By over 230,000 square kilometres.

[Masterpiece]

Akima, you should know better. Those Yankees have no idea what a kilometer is.

[jwhouk]

The distance from Perth to Brisbane, though, is still pretty much close to what a trip from LA to New York is, is it not?

EDIT: In fact, it's longer to go from LA to New York, by about 130 km.

[Orkboy]

She asked, as though Maryland was that big....

Yeah, but Western Australia also has the population of 2 1/2 Rhode Islands.  That's a state you can almost see across if you stand on a chair.  Did the spiders eat everyone in Western Australia?   

[Masterpiece]

[Detachable Felix]

Alaska is probably the only state with a comparable size to an Aussie one, and not even one of the larger states..

[Lines]

Hehehe, helium.

Re: states - Our states may not be very big, but there's a lot more people and that's part of the reason there are lots of smaller states. (I personally do not want to live in a big state. Too conservative.) But, while our countries are relatively the same size, but the middle of ours is actually livable and the entire country isn't overrun by animals that want to fuck up your shit, so there.

[hedgie]

Well, we have some pretty deadly fauna.  It just tends to be of the human variety.  I'd rather check my shoes for spiders than have the crime rate the US has.

[GarandMarine]

I feel like most of you are SERIOUSLY underestimating the size of Alaska.

And quit being dramatic Hedgie, crime rates in the U.S. are the lowest they've ever been in your life time... and literally everyone else on the forum for that matter.

[hedgie]

Been on a downward trend for 30+ years, although speculations about exactly *why* this trend started when it did, and what factors come into play is another can of worms.  I'm rather impressed that it's so steady, even through recessions and whatnot.  I am certainly *not* complaining about that.

[Lines]

I'd rather check my shoes for spiders than have the crime rate the US has.

Considering I'm irrationally afraid of spiders and most other creepy insects/arachnids, I'd rather NOT have to check my shoes. Also it's not just the bugs, I'm pretty sure that every single animal in Australia is there to fuck up your shit.

[Detachable Felix]

Not all of them! We have some cuddly ones, too! Pretty much all our marsupials are adorable! and our birds!

XXXX is also called the Terror Incognita. Almost all animals and plants in XXXX are dangerous; when Death requested a book about the dangerous creatures of XXXX from his library, he was subsequently hit by a large pile of books consisting of the various volumes of "Dangerous Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish, Jellyfish, Insects, Spiders, Crustaceans, Grasses, Trees, Mosses and Lichens of Terror Incognita", the total books going up to Volume 29C Part 3, while a request for information about the harmless creatures merely produced a note saying "Some of the sheep". The land is inhospitable because the flora and fauna all hate you and there is never any rain.

Still the country with the only poisonous mammals. Also your birds are cute when they aren't being eaten by Orb Weavers the size of delivery trucks.

[hedgie]

There are some other venomous mammals, but the ones I'm thinking of off the top of my head live in Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, and not on the mainlands of the Americas.

Our mammals have to be poisonous, how else would they fend off the bogans?

This snake would like to have a word with you.
