Exactly. Some parasites seem to produce their own anti-inflammatory substances that they release into their hosts. I suppose such a mechanism could be seen as the beginnings of a symbiotic relationship rather than a purely parasitic one. When one organism depends upon another for its survival, it seems natural that traits that enhance the survivability of both organisms would be selected by the parasite. Speaking as a non-scientist, it seems very possible to me that perhaps most of the symbiotic relationships we see in nature today began as parasitic ones.

Ain't that the truth! I frequent McD's, and other fast food chains, so seldom that when I went the other day, I had to read the menu because it always changes. I'm sure Big Mac was still on there, but they didn't have an Angus bacon cheeseburger last time I went!

Probably didn't have the Teriyaki Chicken Burger or Corn Soup either. Right now, our local McD's have the Texas Burger, and next month will be the New York Burger. I'm sorry to say that I missed the Mashed Potato Burger two months ago. Or perhaps I'm not sorry.

@Sneaky Snake
yeah, being a bit dirty was never wrong

*sigh* I wish more women would know that

well: my rant for today:
the telco company in charge screwed our change from others to them
they managed to communicate the change to the previous one due to what they' ll cut their conn on feb. the 1st.
Unfortunately they screwed the takeover
We still have no new hardware and account data sent.
worst case I'm offline since february until I manage to strighten it out.

BTW I hate hotlines: they put people in ther who have a catalogue of FAQs and can't really do nothing when things go seriously fubar.
For you as a client it means that even yelling at them is pointless, because they neither are themselves nor even know who actually was responsible for the crap having been done.

I'm actually probably always happiest when I am at Rendezvous, or in the field on manuevers. at one time, my then husband was panicked when he gave me full authority to buy a house and property, confessed to me later that he was in fear we would end up on a hundred acres in a teepee. wish I'd thought of that

Some times they screw up. Sometimes the screw up works out for the best.

Hmm, you and I have had this conversation before about how shallow women are. I believe you must have had a BAD experience with a woman sometime in your past. Because really, women are just people, some good and some bad. Believe it or not.

I'm gonna go with ms Jones on this one. We're all humans. I'm sure i could make just as an insulting (if not moreso) overgeneralization about men that wouldnt be any more true than this.

As a side note, i've never been to a club or been "clubbing" in my life.

What's clubbing anyway? Does it involve these?
