Sometimes allergies are to weird things. Like, Rym could not eat apples raw because he would get an allergic reaction, but he could eat cooked apples in a pie. Cider was out, but apple baked goods were okay. It turns out it wasn't the apple itself but the fact that birch pollen impregnates the skin of apples, and that's what he was allergic to.
I wonder if he can manage to make it worse than that japanese sentai show. The turtles being an alien race isn't that far out, considering the universe is littered with alien races, but on the other hand Michael Bay makes everything terrible and it would make the "mutant" in the name obsolete.

Friend of mine is allergic to freshly cut tomatoes (also, of course, uncut tomatoes), once cut and left open to the air for several hours the thing he's allergic to evaporates/reacts with the air/idk.
Truly hilarious situations ensue when he orders at, e.g., Subways: -Are those tomatoes freshly cut? -Of course they are, sir. -Uh, actually I can't have freshly cut tomatoes due to allergy. -What? -I want the tomatoes but only if they have been cut more than six hours ago. -... Oh, ok. Uuuh, yeah I think these were cut like yesterday so you're fine.
The group of Japanese exchange students I've been supervising for the last month left this morning. A month is the wrong amount of time. It's long enough to really get attached to them, especially when you're together every day for activities and whathaveyou, but not long enough. This is the first time I've wept since I don't know when. Now I've got to pull myself together for work in the next hour.
Got a hilariously bad lottery number for housing - fortunately, my group has enough priority that it shouldn't be a problem. We just have to hope that we don't get screwed over by the remaining thing that's out of our control.
Marseille is a fucking awful place, and I am so eager to split. Maybe I'm missing something here, but the city itself is really goddamned boring, and crime seems omnipresent.
I was flipping through one of several shady looking manga-themed drawing books the other day, and one was giving a decent history of manga...until they identified Asuka Langley as a bishoujo character from a bishoujo series. There goes all that book's cred.

I understood everything up to the first instance of the word manga. Then the sentence fell apart.
My insurance doesn't cover routine medical things, so I might have to pay $600 for bloodwork my Dr prescribed for a physical.
Yeah, I'm seeing if I can get it coded as related to monitoring a medical condition since I have several. But they might not do it. In which case, payment plan!
That sucks Nuri, I thought all insurance had to provide basic routine shit... or is that something that goes into effect next year?
Nuuupe... private insurance companies can pretty much be dicks if they want. Unless one of the new laws prevent it. (Why people are so against these laws mandating all kids to have coverage, all preexisting patients to have coverage, no co-pays for preventative care, etc. is beyond me. People Americans are evil -.-)

...where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are not mutants, but are from an alien race. I have no words.

You can test for allergies these days.

Seriously, sounds like the worst hackathon ever. You can read more about the shit that went down here:

Straight Female Hackers are apparently out of luck.

Would not read again, A-----.
