h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes - if it's an h2g2 person they may take the antibiotics and do something you'd never expect, such as breed an army of monsters (actually, with a hootoer, some say this might have been expected)

For all we know, Mala planned this from the start

So many #3s I hadn't thought of *gives everyone mufflewhumps* Though they are sort of subsets of what I *was* thinking of... She's not a doctor, and therefore cannot prescribe!

And this is still on topic-ish--someone coming close to poisoning people

Dang, so we are back on track? Dang!



Ps: By the way, are you an authorized mufflewhump prescriber?

The problem is she can give mufflewhumps away - in and of themselves they aren't dangerous - it's just us who turn them into something dangerous, or not

To lead this thing back to topic: how can Mala get rid of her housemate? Or would it be better for her to move out herself?

try and form a strong pressure with the other flatmates to make her change (as I expect you've already tried) or get her to leave

Alternatively have her arrested for multiple attempts to poison you

Maybe it's time that Mala finally did mention the *THING* she found in the living room weeks back. Oh, what am I saying, the *THINGS*! Surely there were more than one where *that* came from! Makes me shudder just to think of those *THINGS*. Not like they were that huge, as such, but, man, you don't *want* that in your living room!

Mufflewhumps?

'Fraid so.

And now the other housemate, the one I thought was the nice one, has gone off his rocker as well. He's insured on my car, because he doesn't drive a lot and only needs it sometimes. He wanted it today, which was fine, because I wasn't going much of anywhere.

I've had a high fever since Sunday night, and yesterday night, it was really bad - almost 40° for 7 hours straight. Today, I was getting a splitting headache and really funky visual effects, so I rang my GP and she asked me to come in. Since I didn't think I was safe to drive (see funky visual effects), I asked my flatmate to drop me off. At first he said ok, then changed his mind and decided he had to take his girlfriend to some unspecified appointment.

So I asked him to at least pick me up afterward - said appointment was meant to be over by then - and we agreed a time and a place to meet, a few streets over from the doctor's. Easier to get parked there, and I thought the fresh air might help.

He left me standing there for over 30 minutes in the cold, with a fever, refusing to answer his mobile, then finally texted me "take a taxi. I don't want the flu, thanks". I didn't even have cash on me for a taxi back, and had to find an ATM first.

I'm still seeing blurry blobs and little dots like faulty pixels or dancing beard stubble everywhere, but I'm also seeing red. Needless to say, his driving privileges have been revoked.

Take this as a how-to. The relevant bits start at about 1:20 mins.

Mal, you need some decent housemates. Get well soon.

TRiG.

Sounds unpleasant. All of it, really.

Hope you're better soon!

Those two sound beyond belief. Put some distance between you and them, and don't give them any references!

I hope the visual migraines get better. I occasionally get the visual part - no pain - and that can drive you crazy.

Right, he just came home and started shouting at me for having the gall to phone him yesterday and not reading his text messages about not going to the doctor's. I'm going to look for a house somewhere else.

Looks as though you were better off living with that

Gosh you really have lousy roomy karma. Try to find a place you can afford alone! I hope you are feeling better, no thanks to the dumb bunnies you're living with.

Oh dear what a horrible bunch! Can I say you are extremely generous to put someone else on your car insurance!

I'm off today, is there anything I can do for you?
