Thank you.

Dad had the dementia-esque piece as well, but they attributed it to delirium, not dehydration. In retrospect, the dehydration makes perfect sense as a contributing factor.

If you have a compromised immune system they absolutely can kill a person, though. My father died recently of a UTI (he had a series of infections over the course of several months, but the last one was an antibiotic resistant UTI).

It wasn’t until now that I really understand how serious this stuff is, and why people…

1) Congratulations on the wedding!

It is really scary, especially since there aren’t good alternatives.

My father died recently because of infection. He was in and out of the hospital for months. One fungus/virus/bacteria they never located OR identified. The last one that finally killed him via septic shock is on that superbug list.

Dad had immune issues anyway but this stuff is terrifying.

Attractiveness aside, this attitude would make the most handsome man in the world look like a pile of garbage left in the sun.

I have the same problem. I loved him SO MUCH in Good Will Hunting that I can’t change my 15-year-old self’s feelings for him from into how my 32-year-old self knows I should feel about him. 17 years is a very long celeb crush, people.

He would be so much better off if he had followed his dad’s plan for him to become a lawyer and leave these crazy ladies in the dust.

One, love the screenname. Two, have you seen that movie? It’s really good and the dog is indeed a big part of the storyline. So. Much. Cute. (Also some terrifying, but lots of cute.)

If Kinja is for dates I am so doing this wrong.

When you say dentures do you mean, like crowns? I always think of dentures as removable.

Jesus. Stay safe, friend. That’s fucking terrifying.

Who has the TIME to spend 10 days being an asshole to a stranger just to be an asshole? I don’t have 10 spare minutes to give to people I don’t like.

I have been to Lambert’s as well, many years ago. There is NO WAY that the rolls caused that much damage. The only way that is possible is if they threw them while still in the clay flower pot they bake them in.

My favorite is when Ernie is singing about living on the moon and under the sea, but how he’d miss his friends back home. I’d cry when I was a kid and that segment would come on and I cry now when I see it.

And I’m crying. That’s so sweet.

She’s got a song called “Dollhouse” that doesn’t suck (got some airplay in KC last winter) and her videos are very “Black Hole Sun” esque.

This was also fall out from 9/11. There was a ton of grant money made available to local police forces to purchase “anti-terrorist” equipment, and departments large and small across the nation took advantage. I was reporting in a small town in 2004-2005, and there were constant discussions about the need for more and…

Hah. I’m having the same problem! I’ve stayed off mainpage and went to Groupthink for three weeks but slowly and surely are coming back. (Although I’m gray so no one sees anything I write now anyway!)

Had a zero period 6:30 a.m. class one year. Blergh. Surprised I didn’t fall over by lunch.
