I got the Valentine's Day present Anonus sent me
It's totally awesome, there's a chocolate heart from HOUSE INDUSTRIES and lots of cool House Industries promotional stuff in the box with it
I took pictures of it all; I'll show them off after class
There might be a malaria vaccine on the market as early as 2015. Phase III clinical trials showed it was about 45% effective in preventing the disease in those who've never been exposed.
Which is a big step forward, and kind of depressing that 45% is the best we've been able to achieve so far.
Since November(ish), I've had really bad back pain, and all the doctor's did was give me painkillers. I thought it was sciatica, but then I went to a specialist last Wednesday who jabbed me in the sides and said "It's your kidneys". Had a blood test and urine sample sent off and getting results back on Wednesday.
On strong painkillers and antibiotics. Yay.
I'll recover soon. Since being on these drugs, I've drastically improved <3
When I first went to the doctor, he told me to go to A&E. They diagnosed what they thought it was (no scan!), and gave me strong painkillers. The pain came back and I went back to the doctor, who prescribed me more drugs and told me to go away. It took me being in floods of tears and two of my coursemates demanding to see a doctor before I finally saw a specialist.

Hi Tools!
It sucks that you had to go through that...glad to hear you're getting better, though
Things I learned recently: That surprisingly epic theme NBC plays over Olympic "coming up next" montages is actually Randy Edelman's theme for The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., a steampunk Western that ran on Fox for all of one season back in 1993-94.
I found that out a while ago...
It's kind of funny how the theme song for a show that ran for one season 20 years ago gained a second life like that

Norman was in Mibbit the other day (maybe even yesterday?) so I think she's alright.
Yeah, yesterday.
For the uninformed: Ace died last February. Nobody knows why, but I did find her obituary (it has her birth name on it, so I'm hesitant to link to it publicly)...

Well, not baby, but something young and not nearly done growing. Just look at its proportions.
note that they are smart enough to stay away from the jaws
they didn't succeed in killing it, though
Hippos are the only things Nile Crocodiles are scared of. The only things that bully us.
Hippos are the most dangerous living thing. Humans don't count 'cause tool use is bs.
A rhino is a horned, nearly bulletproof hippo but much, much slower and with less sheer muscle and endurance, so it is less scary.
A triceratops was essentially a hippo multiplied by a rhinoceros multiplied by an elephant.
But the world had more oxygen then, and all life was much greater than now.
still, though, hippos kill more than 2000 human beings per year, so they pretty clearly win this round
crocodiles are actually their only natural predator, overconfident lionesses notwithstanding, but a hippo's bite can snap a crocodile in half
i have absolutely no idea, so let's go with that
Hippos are terrifying.
I have a suspected kidney infection
Yay

Sucks that they took so long to identify it, though. Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence in the NHS, does it?
i'm glad you were able to see one in the end.
You have superuser privileges in your imagination!
EDIT: Sorry, that is wrong. I was mistaken on that point.
it's one near where my mom works down in Whitehall. It's got a tiny arcade in the corner a TV, and also, obviously, wi-fi.
She did not.
Norman didn't seem particularly happy here... i suspect she only stuck around because she was hoping Ace would come back :(
Sorry, I didn't know about those last few posts from Norman.
Also you get 50-25 bucks per donation! :O
(At least unless Norman says it's alright).
Ace's final post...
