My parents worked full time and had three kids, which means my mom was out of work caring for sick kids for over three weeks. How many people have that much vacation time, even with FMLA? How many people can AFFORD to go that long without a paycheck?

A friend of mine got pox inside her throat, and in her vagina. It can be a really terrible disease. One of the kids in my neighborhood developed encephalitis as a complication and suffered permanent brain damage. I'm glad you survived.
