Jo:

OF COURSE IT HAS A BUTTON. I already explained that I push buttons, it says 188.8 and then the L, and then you stick it in your mouth, AND THEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BEEP when it reaches your peak temperature. 60 seconds or less.

And if it takes more than 2 minutes to get ANY READINGS, then you're dead!!!!

Last night I sat in front of the computer while I was at Neurotalks and I left the thing in my mouth for 3 or more minutes.

It actually reached 98.9. Not a beep out of the stupid thing.

And the fever alarm. Well, that's SUPPOSED to be a built in thigamagig, that ALERTS you immediately if it goes over 100 and it supposed to do 5 rapid beeps.

I HAVEN'T HEARD A BEEP OUT OF THIS ONE YET!!

Now let's address Who Moi:

THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I EVER READ.

I am now off to my breakfast. Alan is still sleeping and is nice and cozy. I was awakened at 2 p.m. by the darnest leg spasm on my left foot that I got out of bed, took a handful of epsom salt, made a paste, slathered it on my left foot and put a sock over it.

Then I crawled into my air conditioned bed room and put a hot pack (warmed in the micro), on my calf. I figure CALF, FOOT PART, who cares. The warmth will relax the muscles.

It worked in 2 seconds flat. Went off to sleepy time.

I think all this stress about thermometers, well it brought it self out in my body as SPASMS.

I used to get them years ago.

Thought I grew up.

Guess not.

AND I DO TAKE MAGNESIUM EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I take Magnesium Mallate.

God, I hate spasms.

AND THERMOMETERS.

I will buy the B & D one today.

I'm going to the Russian Drugstore on 20th Avenue where I normally get everything and they guy always talks to me and explains everything. That's where I learned about Activated charcoal tablets for gas, and all the other stuff one buys in the drug store.

I only go to CVS because it's near where I eat my breakfast.

But after returning the newest thermometer which I will do later, well it's no more CVS for me.

I'm going to the Russian Drugstore, I'm going to buy the B & D one, I'm going to pay for it, open it up and take my temperature right in front of the Russian Pharmacist.

If that sucker doesn't beep, then I'll know for sure I'M DEAD!!!!

No body temperature that registers.

Will update.
