Sex during a pandemic...real or imagined...


I can't wait till ABC plays their Avian Flu flic on the 9th. bad acting and a watered down version of what it could be. Still as bad as it gets, just as we will need to eat there are other needs that greasing up the nerf frisbee, (teddy) won't help you accomplish.
Finding a sex partner is difficult enough, throw in the usual panic, fear of dying and lack of regular bathing and you can see it will become a quest Odysseus would need Poseidon to cut him a break to swing.
The sex clubs at the piers will dry up, the local haunts with the bar flies will cease to offer a last minute, Ahh what the heck, hug n plug.
So what is the answer to the question, where is my lover? As in any emergency situation you need to create a list, join a group and give off signs that if the times get bad, hey look at me I have extra rice, beans and can still breath without a respirator. Neighborhood, building and buddy list will not only come in handy to handle some of the difficult Pandemic issues, but they could also offer a fertile ground for keeping the groove in your back going the right way.
So my suggestion to you, and if you are in a loving relationship and are easily offended by the mere thought of someone considering taking you on as a potential spooner street regular, then first and foremost you are in the wrong city, you should make plans to leave on the first signs of infection and chill Winston, it is only a hypothetical.. make friends bellow the fact that if you are the last two people with working plumbing in the building, yah wanna, ah huh, ah huh....yeah....

The Pandemic is a coming and there is no reason you should stop just because it does.

Of course for all those of you without the luxury of intelligent conversation and the ability to pleasure a partner, there is always electronics...make friends with the Energizer Bunny.

Next, in this Pandemic survival series, entertainment, where to find it and how to enjoy it. I'm thinking starlight driven nights on the roof listening to the sirens and wails of the dying might not cut it. Then again a wind up radio and some sultry music can be entertaining as well as entice that reluctant partner to offer a warm touch.

Eat often and eat well you never know when you will need your strength… Oh and hey, listen if a potential partner shows signs of interest and you don’t get the YES….don’t force the issue…just because the world is going crazy does not give you the right to become a villain…

U heard me.

I was asked if a taser is enough


Well since the person who ask me this question lives in NYC, my simple answer is no. Less we forget the powers that be, do not think city taxpayers deserve the ability to carry weapons. To explain this answer fully, should you be stuck in NYC during a Pandemic your choice of weapons will be limited. I'll detail the possibilities for non-lethal response to possible home invasion in a later post. However getting back to the question at hand, a taser used by NYPD or John Q, is easily defeated by rolling away from the weapon. This action tears the wire from the darts. Remember the brain is still active only the muscles are affected. Once the voltage stops a suspect regains control and tends to rabbit.

Next post will be very important...Sex during a Pandemic while under military control... This is where evasion, and knowing which of the restaurants will be allowed to keep hours will come in handy.

Later...

Dining Out During a Pandemic


Lets face it if that awkward bit of silence between banter tends to derail your post dinner plans and you normally end up home alone, petting that pussy on your lap as she plays with a yarn ball, finding a place to dine out during a pandemic will pose a challenge.
The true test to those who want to not just survive the hard health times is how to maintain celebrity, status and the ability to bend the elbow with just the right people.

Lucky for you NYC.com has stellar reviews on the best places to chow down or to elegantly flick your pea.

Now you might think that dining out would pose a health risk, like it doesn't now? When the Pandemic comes a calling, it won't be Dawn of the Dead, it will be more like a Ditty party at a Clan Fest, but it will have moments when dining out can be fun, just tricky.

So I suggest that you take the time and check off the winners and losers reviewed and map out a course past the barricades and through the insanity to find your favorite fork and chew. However there will be several months leading up to the plague Dogs chewing bones in the street. Order take out and freeze the best.

I appreciate the way Adanna puts things, my map will lead through her best picks.

But then again, you would have to be out of your mind to stay in NYC during a Pandemic.

A Pandemic threat to post Transplant patients:


I will not profess to be an expert on the transplantation of Human limbs, organs and skin. However like the many dangers these individuals face everyday the dangers posed by travel restriction and limited access to expert medical treatment if a pandemic quarantine is put in effect will be unprecedented. There are steps you can take now to relieve any anxiety a pandemic will bring. Contact your treating physician and ask for their action plan. Ask what procedures they have in place that will insure the timely treatment of any sign of transplant difficulty, or rejection in time of a Pandemic.

Essentially, there are three types of rejection, but only two need to be the targeted by this post. They are chronic rejection. The slow scaring rejection of an initially successful transplanted graft. This situation happens after a lengthy period of in host activity weakens the graft. Hyper acute Rejection occurs either during the hospital stay or shortly afterward during the physical recovery/therapy stage. There are drugs, which will be used to keep these stages of rejection from happening, however since the previous critical pandemic occurred in 1918 without, prior transplant activity, we have no data on adverse recovery implications from a virus such as the H5N1 strain.

Therefore it is essential for all those individuals reading this that will have a transplant within the next 12 to 24 months to take great care to develop a treatment regiment can be preformed with assistance from secondary health professionals or members of the immediate family.
Some situations may arise that prevent emergency care, emergency care training and a what if plan must be put in place by family and friends.

The true test of the worldwide health care system will occur during a full outbreak. Many life saving operations will be undertaken with risk to both patient and healthcare professional, many maintenance, or health improvement surgeries may have to be rescheduled until after the H5N1 emergency passes.

Either way, knowing what to expect as a transplant recipient as well as those who care for recipients is essential in surviving any Pandemic situation. However you do not have to be a transplant patient to question the health care professionals you depend upon.

In a forthcoming post i will deal with the special needs of HIV patients.

In a perfect world I wouldn't have to write this blog...

This is not a perfect world, and this borders on a Silence of the Lambs post.

Sorry....its a dirty job....just call me Chicken Little.....

Tamiflu won't save U


Roche Labs, Tamiflu is not going to stop you from getting the H5N1 virus. The interesting fact regarding the Tamiflu medication is it has had success in 30 percent of the cases it has been used, if administered within 24 hours after symptoms first appear. Yet many clinicians claim that figure is hard to gather evidence to support. Furthering the debate over the use of the drug is the fact that it has been lethal in situations when provided to children under the age of one year, and required a physicians warning being sent in 2004. Pregnant women are at special risk for complications, yet no specific warnings have been issued in 05-06.
The experts I’ve spoken to suggest that if you are pregnant now, there is only a slight risk of complications from an H5N1 virus if you follow precautions and avoid areas of possible infection.
If you are not currently pregnant yet anticipate becoming pregnant within the next 12 – 16 months special precautions need to be taken. In addition your partner will need to be educated on the stages of birth and have training on handling at home delivery should the situation arise. Your obstetrician may have additional information. In the worst-case scenario you may be forced to experience a hospital delivery during a Pandemic.
Finally, it is my goal that women, (I love Women) will be safe and secure and make it through any Pandemic situation free from trauma.
One thing I would stress is this, pregnant or not, if you are in an abusive relationship now, you will want to do everything possible to rectify the situation with the least danger to yourself. If you are having difficulty now, imagine what your situation could be like if you get stuck in the same apartment, or home with an abuser for 6 to 8 weeks.

Should you need additional information contact the many abuse prevention centers within the tri-state area. If they can’t help drop e-mail and I will seek other resources.

That’s it for today I have to deal with a business issue in China.

H5N1 and the pregnant woman


Sometimes it is hard dealing with the stories nobody else wants to write. In my exploration of all things Pandemic, I spoke with several WHO officials and what I learned was confirmed by Dr.Grattan Woodson during and interview for LatinNewsWire.net.
Pregnant women suffered the most during the previous pandemic. Special care needs to be take to insure you stay healthy during the run up to and the Pandemic period. I'll post vital information as soon as i get confirmation by independent experts, like i said sometime I'll give u the information that will give u the best chance to meet me on the other side of this Pandemic...Hopefully the pandemic won't happen but just incase it does.

I'm converting the Woodson interview to iPod & PSP format.
Hey, this next several months of information aren't made to be entertaining, look for my other psot for that, no this is information NYC is not giving u, and u need to know it.

Need a Witch...etc.


I need a witch, or actually several witches of varying talent.

Now about the Chicken Little Blog Post

In case your wondering the entire Pandemic supplies list is considerable longer. Zip me an e-mail and I'll get u the dope.

BTW: If anyone is worried they have no one to take care of them, or they would like to join a Pre-Pandemic group let me know. I hope the Pandemic does not come to pass. I don't mind being the one people point a finger and laugh at and say, hey he thought we were going to get chicken flu. I'd rather give you the info and take the scorn, it is a dirty job but someone has to do it. I'll personally take the time to help you if i can, it is all part of being an endangered species, what did they call it again. OH yeah a heterosexual male.

Sports .& Baptist Hotties


I guess the only thing more irritating that watching a disc sport is being an inventor of one.... I'm at the beach setting up a 4X4 court and several Baptist, or witness people are walking along passing out the save u r soul stuff.
To avoid running into another wooden volleyball post i set the court up with our own equipment 23 foot net 28 inches high. We start throwing the disc making rolling dives, the whole nine yards.
Anyway, Reverend Bobby and the pack walk over and ask me what kind of volleyball game we are playing.

I tell them we have the Party Midgets coming and they can't make the spike leaps for regulation play.

They hand me the papers and leave scratching their heads. Still I have to hand it to him for walking along with three hotties, all carrying bibles. That brought back altar boy images….I wonder what that nun would look like in, etc..

Which leads me to the next post titled.

How not to wac off your son in a Baptist Church... No this is not porn at all only perceived that way by church ladies when bibles fly into their laps.

Chicken Little n not bye..


First off, a shout out to my fav lady in NYC Ivy...am i retarded or what.? Oh and Thursday, I'm heading to LA now, not ESPN in CT, talk about bipolar-- but not BYE....

So on to Chicken Little

I'm the chicken little who learned survival skills in Ecuador 1988 at ....25 maybe 26 by the Ex Chief of Security for the deposed Shaw of Iran,, "that's a good reason why I was blown up, shot and generally treated nasty cartel thugs and lived to say,, "You Guys, you guys, I don't like u guys. " Dim Mak is cool but not a self-defense skill. But that another story. This story is just here to illustrate my ability to take a licking and keep.... whatever.., ( can survive shit). point is I'm now considered a Chicken Little, only not the sky bit, no the Pandemic bit.

So here is part One: Supplies to Survive
You'll need to get together with your super and other tenants to coordinate the collection of water, but the rest will be able to grab on u r own. When this nasty bug strikes u'll need three months of supplies.
Supply List
50Lbs rice
50 lbs beans
Crackers
can soup
tuna, (dolphin free) although eating dolphin taken out of a shark taste good.
and veggies...(that fire escape garden will get u tomatoes, etc.)
======
First Aid kit
Toilet paper
Fire extinguisher
extra batteries
video cam, (record this shit)
==========

That is the min. supply list, if you have babies, diapers, formula etc.

In Part Two we'll talk about security, how to take out home invaders with non lethal means.

Hey its a Pandemic not a picnic.

Thanks 4 dah ear

ABC Avian Flu Movie


ABC, the alphabet that told u to stick an extra can of tuna under the bed in case of a Pandemic is at it again. On May 9th if the execs don't pull the plug u'll be schooled on how to survive the H5N1 Pandemic...(actually screaming, shooting and rotting love ones, no survival guide here)
It'll be a crock of digital crap.. The panic, death and military law won't be as bad.... unless you live in an urban area with a chance for unrest....oh yeah, that would be our beloved NYC. Fear not in the coming months i'll give u the low down including how to defend, evade and have a chance to stay one step ahead of the grim reaper..

Later, and thanks for the look see....
