English homework and rewriting / Celiac disease

High-scoring words of the night so far:

DIOXANES (145 points) - against Pam T. [5W] {a good deficit-erasing word!}
FAZED (120 points) - against Marlene K. [5W]

Facebook quiz taken from Mike B.:

Leslie took Which National Party MP are you? quiz and the result is Murray McCully. You make Machiavelli look like an amateur. You are crafty, scheming, and a world champion greaser. There are no lengths you won't go to... not to be in power, but to be the power behind the throne. You are a survivor. But, look out! You also have a list of enemies growing by the day...

Helped Andrew with English homework and rewrites that he'd been working on for more than two hours. (8:15 to 10:30?!) Characters named Orleanna and Nathan, plus a story paralleling the Israelites' story in the Biblical book of Judges with tyrants and everything else? Hmm, sounds interesting enough, haha. Also showered, did labels / filters / tags management, thrown away plastic waste, and did some laundry since I can do it at just about any time now! Finally found Erik's book (The Beast Within - Vampire: The Masquerade Novels by Stewart Wieck), which is a good thing.

Poo nugget for Thursday, Mar. 26: Dr. Stool Says - Celiac Disease - This disease of the small intestine, often simply called sprue, is characterized by intolerance to gluten-containing foods. (such as wheat, rye, and barley) The disease was first described in the second century by Aretaeus, who felt this malabsorptive condition was caused by a lack of heat in the stomach. He strongly cautioned sufferers to refrain from drinking cold water.
