A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”
Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”
The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”
Laura woke up at 4 this morning crying with a severe sore throat and high fever. I should have seen this coming because she has fallen asleep early since mid-week. She fell asleep before the snow started Wednesday evening with no prompting from me. Always a telling sign for a 9-year old.
My telltale sign was enormous bursts of energy before crashing.
That always tiopped everyone off that I was sick.
For people my age too.
I have long suspected that you were a manic/congestive.
When I got sick, (before CFIDS) I was down for the count. Usually 12-24 hours, and then I was up and running. My absentee record at work was MAYBE one day a year.

Then I got CFIDS....:o([
Don’t feel bad...I go to bed early and get up around 6:00 or so.
I still miss a lot.
I just read the “Night Reports” and try to catch up. If not, I just wade in and pretend I know what’s going on.
(Ooops! I think I shouldn’t have said that...now everyone will know...)
I can usually avoid every 4-5 “bugs” that come around, but when I do catch one it will put me down hard and fast, although like you, MF, I recover quickly. Based on the lump growing in my throat I suspect I may catch this one since I have been on extremely close contact with her lately.
But I can look up because next Wednesday through Friday I will be away on business which means I can actually hang out in very nice surroundings and FReep sporadically during the day and all night long with no interuptions. I’m looking forward to it...
Er...how about if you just call me "'Face?"
Sory about that...I didn’t look at the acronym. It could be worse...I used to have a heavyset friend named Peggy Irene Griffin and you can guess how well an acronym of her name went.. And don’t forget to never ask me to guess ages, I can insult someone quicker than you can imagine, especially when I think I’m underestimating. My apologies!
No apologies necessary! I’m used to being called “MF” until folks get to know me. Then, in some cases, it’s a lot worse! LOL!
As for guessing someone’s age or weight, I ALWAYS try to miss it by less than the actual number ~~ by 10 years/pounds, at least!
Well now that I have improved my texting ettiquette I’m gonna work on my posting etiquette...And as for weight, I’ve decided not to even go there anymore.
Funny, in Physics I was excellent at estimations, but when it comes to personal “things” I am as far off as I can get. I’m afraid to think of what they may imply about my personality. LOL
LOL!
People always guess my weight at least 20 pounds more than what I actually weigh, and I have even won money on it. I’m tall and solid. No fat.
As for my age, I have good genes!!!
But there is no way that I will try to guess anyone else’s!
Somehow, “You don’t look a day over 60!” is not exactly music to the ears of someone who is 50 or younger....
I was buying cigarettes at 14, and have NEVER been carded! Consider yourself lucky! LOL!
I like to calculate my age in Mercurian years. (Orbits of the planet Mercury.)
I just think it’s cool to be over a quarter of a millenium ...
As for weight, remember that we are all under Mars normal gravity force. It saves on injuries.
“Mercurian years...”
Hmmmm....logically speaking, I would think that would be years on the planet Mercury...:she says, tongue-in-cheek:
As for weight, I’ve lost a 6th Grader....
That much? Wow.
I knew a couple who were out in a park feeding ducks and were approached by truant officers.
