So I was reading the news today and noticed this headline: Up to 50 Students exposed to HIV. First of all the headline is misleading because the issue is that up to 50 students MIGHT have been exposed to HIV. It seems to be more of a scare than anything else. I’m sure everyone in St. Louis I know probably knows a lot more than me, but wow, it’s still frightening. I mean it’s not like you can get HIV from someone just by touching them, or being around them. If that was the case, I’d have had AIDS or HIV long ago, since I’ve taken care of many people with HIV. They’re not disclosing who the person was, or how it could have been exposed, which I think is a good thing. But enough of that.
I haven’t posted in a while, and I guess I should at least make a lengthy post.
So today I was talking to ocb and she linked me to some sleepy time extra tea since I’ve been having problems sleeping and staying asleep. And we discovered a really cool thing. Notice the “save 15% with Subscribe & Save”? How cool is that? You can subscribe to a grocery item and they will send to you every so many months. How cool is that people? Seriously now! Awesome!
Oh I know some of you are probably wondering what the hell I’m talking about with the title of this post. For those of you who didn’t see the movie Iron Man (and why haven’t you already OMG!) it’s one of my favorite lines in the movie. I loved that scene where he’s flying around in his lab and just says, “yeah. I can fly.” It just totally reminds me of the old Robert Downey Jr. in his old films. Love it.

Sleepytime Tea is AWESOME! How are you feeling these days? Been awhile since I checked in (& I was pretty new when you had your stroke). Hope all is well.
Just reading the article on the CNN HIV story made me a bit angry.
Whoever wrote the story is treating it like the world is ending.
It’s interesting seeing a community freak out (as you said they seem to be going overboard) like this and the Health Department come running to the rescue.
As a gay person, I wonder why the government and the rest of society doesn’t give nearly as much of a **** about us.
Are they treating and HIV breakout as if it was a TB breakout? This is story is ridiculous and by reading it it makes it seem that you can get HIV by someone sneezing on you.
Iron Man was freaking awesome.
I take Benadryl when I can’t sleep. I can even take it while I’m pregnant. About 45 minutes later I am out like a light and gone for the night. :)
My kids laughed their heads off when Ironman hit the wall during his early flying tests.
@tug I totally love sleepytime tea :D all is well.
@david sadly you’re right. it’s a real shame that people have to be treated as such by the government.
@cnnviewer it’s a bit crazy, i know, but cnn always does this.
@neptunebaby iron man rocked! yeah, bendryl does nothing more me. :(
@daddy forever i was totally LOLing when he tested his flight thing the first time in the theater. LOL
how is the tea working out??
