It's one thing if it's "What, we need eggs? K bye". Full blown conversations not related to the task at hand... :evil:

Anyone remember Jane Robelo?

by **Bucky** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 06:14:31

oh yeah. I used to hang out with a guy who was known as "Game Show Willie" and would do a spot each morning on 97.5 WPST- the "Jane Robelot watch", sort of like a crazy/obsessed fan thingy. And a google image search reminds me that was a long time ago...

Around here, it should have been -- Some car was going the wrong way on the ramp I take to get onto 45 because it spun out, and then I slid getting onto 45. Of course, this was after dropping the kids off at school.

When I left at 7.30, kids in the neighborhood were waiting for the bus, when I got back at 8:00, they were still waiting.

the freedom to work from home whenever i feel like/need to will probably keep me at my current job far longer than I would have otherwise.

Yes. What about her.

Odd fact: During the time she worked in Philly, she lived in one of the houses I grew up in, in Wynnewood.

I saw this on ABC Headline News, like, a year ago and thought the same thing. I feel bad. Not for the bastards who made that up, but for the poor people who clung to that as an explanation and the other poor people who believed it and didn't have their kids vaccinated. I guess the only good thing is that every time this is "news" all over again, it sinks in for more and more people.

Except that, anecdotally, the myth seems to be spreading.

That sucks. I think of the injustices people get all sanctimonious about this is the one that gets me. Autism's False Prophets is a fantastic book on the subject. We went to an open house for the local "top doc" pediatrician's office before our oldest was born and they made it crystal clear that they wouldn't accept your child as a patient if you didn't get vac's. Someone started barking at them and they pointed to a two foot high stack of papers on the corner of their desk. "Take these, read them. If you won't get vaccinations that's fine, we can't stop you, but you can't be our patient."

The dude who authored the report has even lost his medical license... :lol:

Study linking vaccine to autism was fraud

Vox never should have pointed me in the direction of the Dr. Martens website

Is he the doctor who propagated the fraud?

No, he makes shoes

Going nuts waiting for this job to call me back and say we're good to go. Said hopefully would hear today, so it isn't make or break if I don't get a call today.

Got an email from a girl with a nice spot in the marina for 1200. I told her I'd take it without a viewing. One person who got a hold of her before me is looking at the place tonight, if they don't take it I'm golden.

I'm glad that a random conversation today led me to re-read the Coach Blog.

Dude on Craislist selling Eagles tickets put in his headline "SEE PHOTO!"
