TIL it wasn't her baby after all, but her colleague's. And according to her the loose clothing she was wearing in her pictures which would have concealed any baby bump is just how they dress in Bangladesh.

Her exact words:
Hi! How are you? Have you been stalking me? Not in the right direction though! I don't have any baby!

That's how we dress up. We call it modesty

She is still in the UK, she'd only been here a couple of months when we met on Tinder. For any Coronation Street fans reading this, she had a voice like Alina

She could be bullshitting you, but the Bangladesh thing makes it feel more legit IMHO. Dressing "modestly" is self-defense in some areas there, I know a girl with a seriously metal-looking scar from some religious incel throwing acid in her face when she was a teenager.

Depends on the size of your hot toddie and (if applicable) how sick you are, doesn't it? I know alcohol dampens the immune system, but the ones I made when the Fall Plague was circulating back in college definitely made me feel better short-term.

I definitely felt better short-term, nice little buzz off it, but it really didn't help long-term.
Spent most of the night tossing and turning again, in between croup-coughing fits. All I need is a blood-stained hankie and I could be a Tragic Victorian Heroine.
But... I'm going in. I will be masking up.

Today I learned that Amelia Earhart may have been eaten by Coconut Crabs after her plane disappeared.
Ironically, I learned about it in a thread discussion about Cocunuts, and how humans evolved from animals that already knew what was safe to eat (vs those stupid 'shout out to the first humans that ate....' threads/topics/memes).
As if those things weren't creepy enough....

Bullshit. Emilia Earheart either got abducted by aliens and transplanted to the Delta Quadrant (Star Trek: Voyager) or crashed near Chicago (Fallout:Tactics). Neither of which mentions coconut crabs

I personally like the theory she landed somewhere, and she and her navigator ran off together, but, let's face facts, Coconut Crabs eating her dead body post crash is much more likely. The others are along the same lines of possible as a billionaire dressing up as a Bat and using high tech gadgets to fight crime.
