Admissions and deaths by classification - US Army, 1942-45.
Disease...14,969,028
Battle casualties...592,170
Nonbattle injury...1,995,398
I know it's already getting beaten to death this morning but the Army casualty figures from WWII are still stunning. 85% of hospital admissions were from disease, not injury. Imagine wanting to put flu back in the barracks.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Bless their little loser hearts, Virginia constitutional amendments first have to pass the full legislature twice before they ever go before voters

Not everyone has self-inflicted dementia symptoms as a goal. Not that those who do should be prevented.

I expect that once mine are in the ground all I'll need to do is keep an eye out for when watering is needed and perhaps a bit of weeding. Want to do the latter anyway to stamp out the bloody thistles!

I had thought b did that from her own crop, but either I haven't found the seeds or she used the last for last year's seedlings that never got into the ground (she ran out of energy but didn't tell me so I couldn't help).

Round yellow or pear-shaped yellow? The latter is one b grew, though not as good as the huge purple (non-cherry) tomatoes.

I am already behind schedule: she would start seedlings in the basement under lights by mid-Feb so they'd be ready to plant outdoors after last frost date, 30 April. So I just won't get them as early this year as she did. I'll be happy just to get some in my first try.

I'm going to try the heritage varieties b grew, most of which are oddly shaped or oddly coloured. Couldn't find her tomato seeds (lots of other seeds, just not those), but found Canadian small sellers via Seeds of Diversity, an org she supported.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

Years ago I decided that taking one day off after travel to recover, do laundry, etc, was an overall gain in work efficiency for the week following a trip. I highly recommend this strategy! Also I am terrible at actually implementing it and I may need to file a formal complaint against myself.

It me.
Though I haven't been able to travel for a year and a half and I am more exhausted than I ever was after a trip, save perhaps the one with the wee-hours derailment near the end.
It will be some months before I can travel again. I look forward to it.

I want to see James Bolam and Alun Armstrong as Columbo. John Thaw too, were he still alive. All in episodes written by Alan Plater, were HE still alive.

If they wanted to get away with something like this they should have painted the statute brown and raped it.
