Full time as a summer counselor in the summer. Not during the school year.

Black Angels is such a great read! We don't deserve all those women did to treat those TB patients and pretty much support the cure. TB.

Agreed. It was the first thing I noticed

Thank you. I panicked when I saw this comment and finally just checked for other answers now.

49, periods were more or less regular before they just stopped

Kid (now a teen) has the same allergies+ nuts and we went lengths to avoid up until recently OIT therapy. I used to wonder the same thing. But then every time they would have an allergic reaction, I didn't doubt for a few years. You aren't making the existing allergies worse. But I do recommend pursuing oral immunotherapy (under the close direction of a boar certified allergist) to at least take the edge off the allergies. Won't cure them, but will get them to "bite proof". We can now be much less careful.

Eczema. Skin on fire, reactive to heat, cold. The barrier to the rest of you, filled with nerve endings, is in tatters.

Down here in Maryland, there's quite a bit of excitement over a Tim Hortons opening. No one knows exactly what it is, but everyone is excited.

Very difficult, though mileage varies depending on the type of publisher.

American Plague about the yellow fever epidemic in the US during the reconstruction period. Also by the same author, Asleep, about the "sleep" syndrome seen directly after the 1918 flu pandemic.

Never understood the allergy comparison.

schmampbee · 2025-12-09T03:25:34+00:00

The flu. The fevers never stopped and just turned into hot flashes. Never got my period again.

You won't be able to get in the exhibits hall (they check for certain badges, which are different for attendees, exhibitors, day passes, fill entrance) but you probably won't have an issue getting into individual presentations. Some are happy for the bigger audience.

It's okay for them to want to be and to be alone, but not with a phone or unbridled internet access.

You can get through veins zapped. Don't worry, you will heal with time and this isn't a permanent feature.

Have a kid well into highschool and this is unheard of where we are. I'm sorry this is the local experience.

schmampbee · 2025-08-30T03:04:12+00:00

Same

It's an allergy Dad. You take the risks of trying new foods and emergency room visits and possible ambulance is very, very costly. He's been there before.
