is she allergic to all nuts?
peanuts and tree nuts. she went through a trial at northwestern about 5 years ago where they got her tolerance to peanuts up. she's still allergic, but she at least she won't die if she inadvertently eats something with peanuts. but they can't get her in a trial for pistachios or cashews yet because she's still off-the-charts allergic.

Though I'm sure it will make an appearance in the irrational hate thread soon, I've been enjoying throwing this one around lately.

Lately, I've been taking a disturbing amount of pleasure fucking with spam callers. Just the lowest forms of life on the planet. I really should stop, but then again maybe they should stop calling me.

I try to keep them talking for a while, seeing how much abuse they can take. Recently I had a dude yell back at me to "take a baseball bat, grease it up and SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!". I cracked up at that one, ngl.
