Congratulations! You have the Red Plague! Known
today as Smallpox, you are highly contagious,
suffering from fever, chills, headache and a
terrible backache. Within days you will develop
a red rash over most of your body. You will
then probably develop pus-filled blisters on
your skin. You will be sick for weeks. The good
news is the mortality rate is only 25% (good
odds for the Middle Ages!). The bad news is you
will probably be left with ugly pox marks. On
the plus side, you will be forever immune to it
if you survive. Too bad you will probably give
it to everyone in your family.
Which Medieval Plague Do You Have?

the fabric, I bought a pattern, and I cleaned up the den so I have a place to sew this thing. I plan on making it tonight.
But apparently, that’s not quick enough.
As usual, my daughter lives by her personal code of “If you want something done, you’ve got to do it yourself.”
Why did I even bother? I could have just gotten her a yellow bandana!
(By the way, her T-shirt is custom-made via cafepress by my husband, and has a peace sign, heart, and penguin. The back has bigger versions and reads “Peace, Love, and Linux.” Here’s the link. That’s Daddys’ little geek!)
We got the yellow fabric, which is sort of batik-y with a leaf pattern. Leave it to my girl to pick the fabric that’s 5.99 a yard. 😛 So now I’m trying to work out a pattern on sheets of newspaper. I think when she does “My Gym” this afternoon (mama gets a break! woo!) I’ll slip off to the fabric/knitting store. They know me there, so maybe I can get some tips. And sign up for a sewing class. This is a good real world skill to have.
In the meantime, for your amusement:
You’re a Speak & Spell!! You nerd, you. Just
because you were disguised as a toy doesn’t
mean you weren’t educational, you sneaky
bastard.
What childhood toy from the 80s are you?
