1. Anyone else a little tired of watching the media circus over swine flu? Me, too. This video reflects my sentiments fairly well.
Hey, look: you can express your fears on Ravelry, too!
2. Speaking of Ravelry, have you seen that some forum threads are being flagged as “heated discussions?” Here’s an example. Whoohooo! I’m gonna go hunting for those – I love me a heated discussion!
3. Other excellent comment threads I have stumbled across include the following:
I have pee on my cardigan.
Thinking of getting a tattoo.
… followed by …
Look at my first tattoo!
Pancakes suck.
I just found a dead cat.
Murder?
Potato salad.
The Cole Slaw thread.
Bacon addiction.
Do you like me?
Considered stealing or not? (!!!)
Purple monkeys only…
… and later …
Foolish monkeys!
OK, I have to stop. I could entertain myself for hours with that.
Happy Thursday all!!!

Happy Birthday!
(I stay away from heated discussions and the radar because it just makes me hate people more.)

That “Bacon addiction” thing reminds me that I must try “Baconnaise”.

Happy Birthday, Nora!
I love the ones that ask what someone should do with a certain yarn. I always want to tell them to send it to me. I’ll give it a good home.

Happy birthday! Hope you had a lovely day.
Meh. Swine Flu. I survived bird flu and so did a gazillion people.
I must check out the heated threads more often. They’re gold.

Pancakes do not suck. What are those people thinking? Wait. Reading on……..never mind.
Excellent video! I was just wondering if we’re at Level Five right now, what’s going to happen if there’s, y’know, an ACTUAL pandemic?
Happy Birthday!!

So, I just spent 2 hours reading through that thread. People are incensed! I had never browsed the forums and now I’m afraid I’ll become addicted.
