Some pretty nasty germs out there. I thought six weeks and two antibiotics should be enough until I ran a fever instead of going to my grandson's birthday party Saturday. Just thought I was tired. Gonna be a long winter!?<br /><br />There is a super staph infection going around the high school part of my grandsons' school. HI & EL are in different wings of the building but they share the gym.Three HI athletes are out of school until Drs. say they can return. One is hospitalized with his whole leg involved and was on TV to spread the word. I called my son who hadn't heard. He'll probably dip the kids in Lysol nightly.<br /><br />Windhover: Actually, only the plumber and my Farmer have been in my living room other than relatives.

So I'm beginning to think both air pressure and gravity are at work. In the video, they used a special liquid where there is a strong attraction between molecules. Gravity makes one side heavier than the other and like a chain, as the heavier side falls, the connection between molecules pulls the other side up and over the top. Water isn't like that. The attraction between water molecules is very small. So I still think that a water siphon works because of air pressure. But I'm less sure than I was. Excellent video find!<br /><br />Are any of you still watching Leverage?

Maybe Scotch would help.<br />Hahtoolah, I'm glad to hear you are recovering.<br /><br />I am currently in a Catch 22 situation. The handwriting is on the wall to say that as soon as the inefficient agencies catch up with their paperwork my son will be dropped from Medicaid. It could be any day now or years from now. He doesn't technically qualify for Medicaid now due to his Social Security income, but he has unusually tremendous medical and medication expenses. His medicine alone is thousands of dollars a year.<br /><br />As his representative payee I am trying to save much of his Social Security income for Medigap insurance and medical expenses after he is dropped.<br /><br />The catch is that if he has a significant bank account he cannot get any more government services. If he spends the money frivolously he can. If I save the money in my own account I have to lie that I actually spent all the money in his behalf instead of putting it in his name.. I have recently increased his allowance to keep the bank account low. This seems wrong, but we need to be eligible for services.

I'll spare the gory details because some of you have delicate constitutions.<br /><br />So I worked on the puzzle off and on between naps. It was one tough cookie! Though it helps to leave it for a while and come back to see it in a different way.<br /><br />Finally stopped at the SE corner because I had PEAR and that really wasn't working. Looked at Melissa's blog and saw the error of my ways. Once POME was filled, the rest just fell into place.<br /><br />I hope you've all had a better Wednesday than I had!
