Sounds like you had somewhat a good time in LA. (LOL) hated the fact you were getting sick..hated when anyone I like or care about getting sick....espeically when they're puking up..been there done that a number of times.Hope your move to the new place went ok.I always hated moving cause its always a big hassle making sure nothing gets broken and or get left behind.
if your chinchillas were humping then would think they were male and female....would be weird and funny in a way that you end up with a pair of "Gay" or BIsexual chinchillas.
Glad your mom and nephew end up being ok.Its always hard when you have a family sick espeically if they were bad enough where they had to go in to the hospital.
