So I happened to notice a box sitting in the warehouse at work. It reads "For Gamma Sterilization". Is that a bit concerning?

Depends on the amount, but Gamma isn't as concerning as Alpha.
So if you find boxes labeled "For Alpha Sterilization" I'll take it if no one else is interested.:shifty:

Why exactly would you want the boxes?

To date, Ive heard no rattling noises from inside of it though, so I'm not worried :thumbup:

Shroedinger's cat may or may not have been sterilized in that box.

It's like a swiss knife: It's never wrong to have one for an emergency.

Explains the lack of rattling noises.

Erm (backs away from computer)

This is how you plan for emergencies? Im not sure I want to hear anymore of the Matt-Emergency plan, lest the Matt-Doctor one become needed :lol:

If your first thought after this is the same like mine I'd advise you to never have a cancer patient and a handgun around you at the same time.

Take two of these, and call me in the afterlife.

Well, I finally moved into the current century of cell-phone tech. I still had the freakin' thing... I'm a bit heavy handed I suppose, and apps keep opening up when I just want to swipe over to the next page.

That said, I'm a rock star with angry birds!

All three of use used our birthday wishes and got the Galaxy S4. Made for a big initial investment. Hope I don't get so agrevated at the thing I slam it into the floor, been tempted a few times already (as in why won't this freakin app open/close! NO! move over here! NO here! Stupid phone!!!). I think my kid learned a few new creative blue expressions as I learn to deal with this thing.

(From the 101st Wiki page)

It was rumored that the Vietnamese had never seen a bald eagle, and thus nicknamed members of the 101st 'Chicken Men'...During briefings they were told to avoid the chicken men at all costs, as fighting against them would result in a loss.

And who said calling a member of the 101st a chicken was a bad idea? :uhh:

Shenzhou 10 launch and Airbus A350 first flight potentially going off at around the same time (morning GMT on June 11)..... hmm......... :hmm:

Feeling much better now My flu has been downgraded to a case of the tropical sniffles:lol:
Still hacking up goo with blood in it, and have those sneezes that feel like I'm being slammed against a concrete wall, but at least I can get up and move around now

I don't think you mentioned that you were coughing up blood before. I'd definitely see a doctor about that.

 

[n122vu]

Agreed. I'm 100% for letting the immune system do its thing as much as absolutely possible, but sometimes you just have to give in and get some medicine. Green is one thing. Red, well, that's the bad color...

 

[Urwumpe]

Even explosive epistaxis should be a good reason to have a doctor look over this.

 

[TMac3000]

Meh, it's happened before, some years ago. My mom's an RN, and she thinks it's just from the abuse my airway is taking from digging that stuff up (its mostly voluntary coughing, and it hurts like hell). If it was TB, I'd be dead by now I'll get some cough medicine tho.

 

[mojoey]

Even then, an RN is no substitute for a good ENT or GP.

 

[TMac3000]

Blood seems to have cleared up in the last few hours. If it comes back, I'll go to the clinic.
The last two nights were my first decent sleep in almost a week

My city decided to solve a bottle neck by rerouting traffic to pass in front of the primary school. I wonder which genius is responsible for that...

Reasons why I haven't been to the cinema for ages:

No movie, even if it's a great movie, can beat a well-written book version.

Took me three LotR and two Harry Potters to realise, which are now ruined for me.

 

[Scav]

Reasons why I haven't been to the cinema for ages:

. . . I don't watch TV.

Then again, sometimes I know only what I read in the New York Post . . .
