Did you know that two words mixed into one word is called a portmanteau? Like Podcast or Animaniacs.
And did you know that a long compound word using 'and' and often hyphens, like ''forks-and-spoons'' is called a dvandva, from the Sanskrit. I learned this from a German Prof. Who, curiously enough, believed in witches. Apparently he knew one....And that's my totally irreverent and irrelevant thing for today.

I'm easy to draw blood from. I have a huge pipe running down the center of my arm lol
I was super easy to draw blood from until I was pregnant with my son and had hyperemesis and was basically dehydrated for 6 months straight. it almost always takes at least 3 pokes now before they can get any, but they swear prolonged dehydration like that can't permanently damage veins. idk man :shrug:

If your zombieism lasts more than 6 months, see a doctor.
