If you have specific concerns about allergies and such, talk to your doctor about them.
Don't just not vaccinate her. Vaccines save lives. |

| Speakeasy has residential DSL plans starting at around $50/month (including a static IP) and is run by clueful people who are happy to let you run any kind of server you want. Seriously, every single time I've called or emailed them I've reached someone who knew what they were talking about on the ... |

| I remember being aware that I was a loner as early as preschool. I wasn't lonely though. I just found most of the other kids' play fairly uninteresting, and confusing at times as well (although I attributed that mainly to popular culture references which I was happy to remain oblivious to). For seve... |

| Either this kid wasn't the only one not vaccinated, or the vaccination doesn't work too well. Either way, it wasn't just one couple's decision here that brought the problem on... *Lots* of vaccines don't "work too well" in the sense that they aren't highly reliable at preventing any single infectio... |

| I've always hated that question. Even *if* I was rude enough to tell someone I'm too busy to care about their problem, I'd need to know what it was before I could make that determination. The other one I get all the time is "How familiar are you with x?" (where "x" usually turns out to be something ... |

| Pure water isn't very electrically conductive. If it had been saltwater (or any kind of drink with significant sodium content) the results probably would have been worse. |

| Whatever causes this, I'm convinced it's directly responsible for my love of technology. From a very young age, people remarked that I wasn't an observant kid -- I was downright oblivious to my surroundings a lot of the time -- but I'd notice and have near-perfect recall of the tiniest details of ev... |

| Any story like this is going to appear with slight variations in a whole lot of news outlets. It's unsurprising that one of them ran a quote that some others didn't. It's disingenuous to start a new thread for each of a set of clearly related news articles with no reference to the earlier discussions. |

MrMark, this has been discussed at least twice already. You should be aware by now that it's a duplicate, since you were told as much the last time you posted it.

I've had several flying dreams in which I got tangled in overhead power lines.
For some reason I've never gotten electrocuted though. It's just been a bit of a nuisance. |

A concession in a court case does not prove anything.
Please do not confuse the federal rules of civil procedure with the scientific method. |
