Vaccinations SAVE LIVES

This is in response to The New York Times article, "Vaccine Rule Is Said to Hurt Health Efforts" (12/17/12)

Please educate yourselves before making a foolish decision as forcing single dose vaccines or not giving your child the chance to survive against many deadly diseases. These multidose vials are the best way to counteract childhood diseases across the world. Yes, it is the least expensive as well, but for those who don't know, to change to single dose vials would raise the price of vaccines exponentially. Childhood diseases once rare are now coming back with a vengeance. For example, whooping cough is running rampant across the nation. 

I can't stress this enough:  THIMEROSAL DOES NOT CAUSE AUTISMMany clinical trials have proven that thimerosal does not cause autism. Per one clinical investigator: 
"Most of the children in the study had blood mercury levels of 1 or 2 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml); the highest level, found in one child, was 4.11 ng/ml. By comparison, the most stringent public safety limit, established by the Environmental Protection Agency, is above 5.8 nanograms per milliliter. That number itself is a small fraction of the amount that scientists believe is the level of mercury that would actually harm a child."

TV Is addictive



MILIZARD

(c) 2006 Pockafwye

dream before I woke:  i was back at school, first day, moving into my dorm room, which looked like a ratty new york apartment with bad windows.  I had roommates but they weren't around and I didn't know who they were. My friends were hanging with me when some of the lights go out.  We find the fuse and they weren't blown.  Then I see the vacuum plugged into the wall.  The super comes up and says that is the problem.  even though the vacuum wasn't runnning, leaving it plugged in the wall made the electricity in the room overload.  (is this some sort of dire warning to me? i got lotssss of outlet strips) Also I had a pet mouse/lizard which freaked out everyone in the dorm.  I didn't know how to take care of her.  I went to the outdoor fair where there was a vet stall and they said she will need this leaf-shell like home .  I asked if she would make her own, and they said yes, eventually (oops - she had, but I had stepped on it) and I got some special canned food.

Then I woke up.

I am going to fix all of the electrical cords in my apartment now.  Have a good day.

Cats

Because I don't want to talk about my cat all the time on Facebook or in person, I am going to post pictures of her here.  Because she is adorable.  And crazy.  And sweet. I lurrrrrrve her.



She loves this bag.  She's been hiding in things lately.  She also has been hiding underneath a blanket on the couch.  She's so weird.
