    I think my roommate gave me her cold.  Is it nice that roommates share?

    Give it back!

    Saw the title of this thread and giggled.  My gift card woes last weekend were eased by the appearance of cats.

    For anyone who saw my undignified rant, I feel I should mention that they didn't actually issue a refund for the enormous gift card which initially didn't work. (I had a different, smaller one work twice.  In order to take advantage of the sale items, I then paid for a second one which covered the difference.  I opened a ticket asking for a refund to my original payment method.  They didn't.) I can't complain too much, though, since they did finally activate the (huge) gift card that didn't work and also let me keep the not-quite-as-huge accidental duplicate gift card.  Seemed like more than a fair trade.  

    And, lol, I've already spent it this weekend already because... holy PC sale, batman.  Or, maybe I should say "holy PC sale, catwoman"?

    ...purrrrrfect.

    holey moley  mega mil lotto jackpot is over a billion dollars.  a billllion 

    bought 1 tix  only need 1 to be in it to win it

    ...just saw that when I was waiting at a bus stop where there was a convince store on the corner. Was tempted to go in ans purchase a ticket , but didn't know when the bus would arrive and being a Sunday evening, didn't want to miss it as schedules are sparse.

    If you took the annuity that would break down to 3,000,000$ a month before taxes.  At my age, that alone would set me up for the rest of my llife.

    Do fans make people sick?  Or is that an old wife’s tale?  I think it is a virus that causes a cold, right?

    The common cold is caused by a virus.  

    I have never heard of fans making people sick   

    There are some bacterial infections that can be caused by Aircon units, hot tubs or showers if they are not serviced regularly,  usually in large buildings. These sort of of infections are not contagious, so if they find a cluster of them they start looking for the buiding that has caused it by working out common factors from the illness cluster.

    Who is more likely to get a cold?  An Arizona Cardinal fan tailgating at the stadium before a game or a Green Bay packer fan tailgating before a game?

    Yesterday I went with my wife and kidlings to participate in a charity walk (breast cancer) at Jones Beach, which is here on Long Island... It was very windy and chilly... Afterward I wandered off and took a few pictures...

    Is it true that slugs have no bones? 

    Without looking it up, I'm going to guess yes. They seem similar to worms which I'm pretty sure don't.

    Slugs are molluscs, bones are found only in the chordate lineage (or even only ion vertebrates, I can't recall off hand) as far as I know.

    Richard Haseltine still works on the Daz 3D forums?    I haven't seen his name in months.

    ...the Arizona Cardinal; fan. considering the heat there in early part of the season.  You can always layer more clothing on, but only take so much off.

    I bought a comfy dress to become a loungeware dress or night dress.  It is probably meant to be worn out in public, but it is kinda big on me.  I thought it was expensive at eight dollars, but it was originally almost forty dollars. It was $8.57 after taxes.  Might be comparable to a dForce Dress for G8F, but there is only one texture for this dress.

    I do not feel well, but I still have to go to work.

    edit that is because my hours are too low and I cannot afford to miss work.

    If they're not cleaned frequently, the dust and mold spores that can accumulate on fans can make people sick. I'm actualy having some issues over that, myself right now.

    But fans themselves won't.

    "Sleeping in a room with a fan running will kill, you", is a widely held (and actually promoted by some TV & radio announcers) South Korean belief. surprise  https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/08/09/430341089/south-koreas-quirky-notions-about-electric-fans You can't fight superstition with logic (as implied by the "Wizard's First Rule"*).  But as mentioned previously in this thread, dust and fungal spores allowed to accumulate on fans can grow bacteria and mold and get thrown off by the fan and be sickening.  And in a warm, humid climate rife with airborne dirt, spores, pollen and sticky cigarette smoke and allowed to accumulate unchecked, the pathogens generated can rise to the point of dangerous.  But blame the resulting sicknesses on lack of cleaniness not fans. indecision

    * Wizard's First Rule:  From the novel of the same name by Terry Goodkind:  "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

    Goodness me, Carrie! Sorry to hear that!

    I think having a table fan on, aimed right at your head while you sleep, can give you some eye-thingy? I don't know what it's called in English, but we call it getting a "draught in the eye." Another weird theory, which I've never really believed in, is that you can die from putting lilacs in a vase in your bedroom. The scent has some sort of anaethetising effect, and you can overdose on it and never wake up. surprise Yeah, right. But one of my first attempts at a detective novel had death by lilacs as a plot element. What can I say, I was a teenager.
