I'm Sick 2014-12-09

This has nothing - 0r every thing to do with the current posts - - - But - a few weeks ago we were at 12 in the likes area. We are now nudging close to 40 . Just thought i"d bring it up.

Y'know, I may be wrong, but I'm beginning to get the subtle suspicion that just possibly maybe Tina might be a bit sick. Perhaps.

OK, Tina can now get sick. The big question is does she have any antibodies at all? If not she needs every vaccine you can think of quick, and can still expect the next couple of years to be miserable while her body goes through the 'normal childhood diseases'.

I wouldn't think that being (mostly) dead for a few hours, would have wiped out her body's existing immune system? As a (human) child, Tina was probably subjected to the usual set of vaccinations for whatever area she grew up in, and would certainly have been exposed to the common range of childhood diseases. I'd expect her to still have the antibodies and immunities from back then, just as if she hadn't been demonized.

If her antibodies were gone, that would probably mean that her immune system overall was gone. In which case, vaccines wouldn't do any good. For her antibodies to have all gone away due to her "death", though, would probably have required enough damage to her physical body that I doubt any part of it would still function.

Now, if she somehow managed to pick up HIV or something similar somewhere. . .

2-3 lbs. 	Roasting Chicken, washed and cut into pieces

1 Cup 	Dry White Wine
4 Cups 	Chicken Stock
1/2 Cup 	Heavy Cream
  	 
1. Heat butter and olive oil in a deep, heavy skillet.
2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and rosemary. Toss in flour.
3. When the pan is hot, but not smoking, add the chicken, skin side down.
4. Sauté chicken until golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan.

Minor observation about Shelly

Yesterday when she was talking to Becky, Shelly was "wearing" a set of normal human teeth. Today, while checking on Tina, her fangs are especially prominent

After Shelly came back from her stay in the Time Forest, the only time she showed fang was when she was under stress.

Then, after the cat got out of the bag, so to speak about Bia and Phix and Shelly's dad, Shelly accepted who and what she is, cut her hair, and started sporting fangs, even while in human form.

I think after her little misadventure with Monica, Shelly is making a concious decision to appear fully human to those who aren't in the know", but stress still brings the rip and tear teeth out.

The probably has nothing to do with the fact that Paul likes drawing pretty women with big cat dentures.

OOOOO, chicken?

Chicken with FORTY Cloves of GARLIC...

I suppose we were all complaining to a greater or lesser degree re:

'Where is Tina?',
'What Happened to Kevin?',
'How come we don't see Shelly anymore?'...

Still, being mostly dead is better than being all dead. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do. (What's that?) Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

Wow. That's the first time I see a video, from memory, with Kenny Rogers having a brown beard...
