DALLAS - Dallas County's top official has declared a public health emergency, saying the spread of the West Nile virus has become epidemic. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced the declaration in a statement issued Thursday night. Jenkins says county officials are doing all they can to fight the spread of the virus but need the public to do their part.

I am starting to get the idea you are a failed psychoanalyst.

Many (mosquitoes) are resistant or would quickly become resistant again.

Used to do that here in New Jersey too. The America I grew up in as a kid has vanished.

I think you introduced a creepy, element to this thread, and brought in a troubled weirdness that people noticed as you assaulted them, their normal childhoods and their mostly dead, normal parents.

Your point was to convince us that you are different from us, that you had a different childhood from us, and that your parents were different from ours, most of us are willing to tell you that we are well convinced.

I am sorry to hear about your Mom. I dealt with elderly parents and know how nerve racking it can be. All you can do is pray.

The line between exciting and truly dangerous or stupid is subjective. I think we all did all three as kids and had our parents known, they probably would have turned gray. We had a lot of freedom to do some really crazy stuff.

And it seems we are all still here. We all had some powerful guardian angels. And still do.

Why can't you admit your parents made some grievous errors in raising you? Why so defensive of poor judgment and parental negligence?

LOL, it took a long time, but I think you have decided to let it go and get with a less personal theme on this thread.

I’m in Houston. I have 4 of the “mild” symptoms you listed. My wife is convinced I have it. But from what I’ve read and seen on TV all you can do is wait it out. If anyone has any info that’s there more than you can do, I’d appreciate a post. It’s a bitch being sleepy all the time.
