This article says that measles gives you something it calls "immune amnesia." So if I give myself the measles, will it rid me of autoimmunity?

Mama tomato and baby tomato we're walking down the street. Being a toddler baby tomato had trouble keeping the pace of Mama tomato. Mama tomato repeatedly had to stop and admonish baby tomato to stay with her. Finally, after this had continued for quite some time Mama tomato stopped and angrily yelled at baby tomato; "catch up!"

I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on TV.

@Velo Vol are you riveted to your TV watching the exciting NASCAR action in sunny Atlanta.
in unrelated news, I rode my bike today
and it was windy but I didn't hear any bombs going off.

P.S. Think of all this life-sustaining water flowing one mile from your border. So close, but so far.

It’s likely a fool’s errand, but I am retrying running again. In the past 10 days I have had 4 runs. Slowly increasing my distance. So far they have been 1, 1.3, 1.5, and 1.7 miles. Baby steps. Might go for 2 miles in a couple days.

LMAO. So, Colin is going to a friend's bday party later today. The bday boy's mom just contacted my wife about a little extra playtime for her son and Colin - either before or after the party and bday boy's mom would be happy to do the picking up/dropping off. To my wife, who's in the midst of taking apart of the kids' room (getting rid of the girl's crib, putting in a small bed for her), getting Colin out of the way for an extra hour sounds like a great idea, so she says "sure!"
"Great! What time should we drop him off at your place?" is the reply from bday boy's mom.
Ah yup. Bday boy's mom was a bit vague and loose with the pronouns - dropping off/picking up "him" was in reference to her son, not ours. She was asking my wife to babysit her kid for an extra hour, not offering to take our kid off our hands for an extra hour. And yeah, my wife accidentally agreed to it. Oops.
Oh, and I laughed at her gaff, so now she's mad at me.

Love Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food. It’s fresh, nutritious, full of vegetarian and vegan options. I am slowly learning the basics of cooking it and I have a big ol’ jar of preserved lemons going at all times.

Note:
I was experiencing exercise induced fatigue today. Do not fear for DougRNS! A nap was taken and I have recovered sufficiently to operate at my normal awesome level.

I wish my legs were up for running. Do you have any idea how boring walking is?
There's a small Middle Eastern store a mile from where I work. I've never been in it. Not much of an adventurer eater.

Old friends from Belize in for the evening. I haven't seen them for ten years. Quite a nice treat.
