Sicko

"... the 18-month-old baby who dies of a seizure when she's denied emergency-room access, ..." [Time]

I thought that that only happened in China but obviously I was wrong.

Actually I don't know any presidential candidate's health care plan. I think Clinton when she was first lady tried to reform but fell flat on her face.
It was be nice we are free from the tyranny of high medical insurance and health care costs. It gives me shiver.

Sid,

What have you been doing? Busy or just lazy.

Did you fall asleep in Congo?
Anybody home?

Yes, I contracted malaria while exploring the mighty Congo River following in the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley, which nearly finished me off.

Thank God I've inherited the sickle cell gene from my African ancestors who were the real globe trotters and who treaded hundreds of thousands of miles to reach my adopted fatherland, i.e. China or Cathay as it was then called. That wonderful mutation saved my life and I'm very much alive and kicking now.

In actual fact I've replied to your previous comment by writing the following, which might've gone unnoticed:

"I'm not busy. Not at all. I'm waiting for you guys to ask me out to have fun. Let's have something to drink together."

What did you say to him?
Mr Livingstone, I presume.

After he replied in the affirmative, I also introduced myself, saying: "How d'you do? My name's Tarzan."
