My hangover misread this and thought the chickens were exploding due to silicone implants that cause lymphoma. I thought that was funny, laughed my ass off, felt guilty for being insensitive then read the thing correctly. Now I just feel like a hung-over ass who is gonna mix a drink for my headache RIGHT NOW.
That nanny stuff is rough. I'm undocumented so I work 'under the table' as a nanny and healthcare and the like isn't part of the package though I'm fortunate enough to work for kind hearted people who do leave me paid vacation, sick days, etc. and have offered to help when I got violently sick this spring (I said no, it would be suspicious and I'd feel awful taking money).
@TexasCrude: Have you talked to an immigration attorney? That's what my hubby does, if you're ever interested in talking to someone about your options. We're in Oregon but immigration is federal, so that wouldn't matter. The advice is the same. Just let me know!
Jeez -- this is why marathons spook me. "Fox or no fox, hydrophobia or no hydrophobia, I am increasing my mile time by .05 seconds, dammit!"
And as for Japan's hospitals...can we all agree that the first qualified medical institution to come into contact with a pregnant woman has to help her deliver her baby? Like, no givesies backsies??
that chicken story made me laugh at first (sorry, it's the first thing to make me laugh all day) but then I read the details and it's just another downer :(
The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital." Clearly this "jogger" was none other than Wonder Woman.
@badmutha: Before I read the article, that is EXACTLY what I was wondering. All I could picture was this poor woman, jogging along, when ALL OF A SUDDEN! flying rabid fox ATTACKS! AHH!
@Crabby Cakes is SOLID AS BARACK!: Totally. When saturday morning cartoons come to life, you can't help but laugh. It would have been funnier if the fox was clamped onto her butt, though.
