Mumps??

[bikerz]

Someone here wrote about the Hmong. You need to read the book The Spirit Moves Me and I Fall Down...fabulous read

(small thread drift: I heartily second that recommendation - the author is Anne Fadiman. She also wrote a wonderful book about books and book-lovers called Ex Libris.)

I don't know if I've ever had mumps - I always have to call my mom and ask her questions like that. I've probably asked her 10 times about childhood diseases, and I still can't remember.

(I'm posting like a maniac today - can you tell I don't feel like working? Arggh!)
