7:47 am

we got in a lottery when it came to Charlotte. mr. homie had a higher number than me but still in the 1000s. by the time they got to him, only $$$$$ tix left, so I was like, I'd rather spend that money on something else.

8:09 am

MollyL

I'm wondering if they are ever going to make a movie version of Wicked

8:10 am

hokie carla

I don't know. I think I'm the only person who hasn't seen that.

8:13 am

MollyL

Nope, I haven't seen that either. Theater tickets are way beyond my budget. That is why I have been waiting for the movie.

20!

11:41 am

SamanthaJoy

I always slow to a crawl at this stage, Harry. How are you moving so fast?

11:41 am

Trifioso

harry, you are on fire lately!

11:41 am

HarryHood

I'm very stuck at 20.

11:42 am

HarryHood

feel like crap today. I got my shingles booster yesterday and it's really thrown me for a loop

11:42 am

Trifioso

ugh. do NOT like

11:43 am

HarryHood

probably better than shingles though.

11:44 am

HarryHood

18!

11:44 am

Trifioso

I had to get a typhoid vaccine once, before a missionary trip = can NOT recommend. If that's tiny typhoid, I NEVER want the full illness

11:44 am

HarryHood

too bad your name isn't mary

11:45 am

HarryHood

16

11:45 am

Trifioso

that poor lady - I don't know HOW she functioned with typhoid

11:45 am

SamanthaJoy

A significant percentage of people who get the rabies vaccination actually get symptoms. Now THAT is something I never want to have to experience.

11:46 am

Trifioso

oooh a sign! My daughter is on her way here for a visit, and her name is in the grid!!!

11:46 am

SamanthaJoy

She was asymptomatic.

11:46 am

HarryHood

we had a bat in our house in CT, and I brought it in for testing - if it hadn't been negative they would have vaccinated us.

11:46 am

Trifioso

I just cannot imagine how she could have been. Harry, did they give you a sense of how long you may be feeling poorly?

11:46 am

SamanthaJoy

And she refused to believe that she was spreading it. That's why she was imprisoned at the end.

11:47 am

HarryHood

but after the 4th or 5th bat we just forgot about it.

11:47 am

HarryHood

just a couple days trif.

11:47 am

HarryHood

they told me "if you have a fever and muscle aches, it's NOT covd"

11:48 am

SamanthaJoy

lol

11:48 am

HarryHood

14!

11:48 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm stuck at 21 and considering going to the list.

11:48 am

HarryHood

12 - blacked out the F amazingly

11:49 am

HarryHood

the list is beckoning to me

11:50 am

Trifioso

11:51 am

SamanthaJoy

11:51 am

Trifioso

11:51 am

SamanthaJoy

Hah! She killed entire families, though. It's so sad.

11:52 am

SamanthaJoy

4 Fs to go!

11:52 am

HarryHood

12:01 pm

Trifioso

now that I look at it, definitely "woah". Get that a LOT. They also spell "crying really hard" as "balling" - makes me laugh EVERY time. "She was so upset she spent most of the weekend balling."

12:02 pm

periwinkle

12:02 pm

HarryHood

alot of kids are saying balling now for all types of meanings. it horrified me initially

12:03 pm

Trifioso

I always forget that enable has no love for dosh

12:04 pm

SamanthaJoy
