Apologies in advance if the membership believes this is the wrong forum for this post.
There's a plague of mosquito born viruses circulating through Cuba right now. Many people are very sick and some are dying. The pharmacy shelves are bare and the hospitals full. See the link below to get an idea of the severity of this. Every single one of about 8 family members of a stripper friend of mine is sick right now, and some are very sick, with high fever. One has hemorrhagic bleeding.
Your average Cuban stripper is not the brightest bulb on the planet. She knows very well how to ship American products to her family. And how to relieve you of your cash. But she doesn't know what's needed to help control the symptoms of the viruses. And she's probably going to fuck up the doses. My Cuban stripper friend would typically take about 8 Aleve every time she got a headache and then she'd wonder why it got worse.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol), electrolyte powders you can mix with water for rehydration, and mosquito repellant are needed right now. I just went shopping with my friend and we spent about $600 getting massive quantities of these plus some bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) to ship to her family who will share with other villagers. Then I went through and took photos of each product and wrote in Spanish in text messages the appropriate doses, by age.
Anyway, I would like to declare this week "Adopt a Cuban Stripper Week," and encourage fellow board members to ask your favorite stripper if you can help. My stripper was grateful enough that I could bang her the next month for free. Unfortunately I took a vow of monogamy not too long ago so that won't happen. But you will get some mileage out of this if you do it. Many Cuban sex tourists pack their suitcases full of cheap lingerie, perfume, toothpaste, cell phones, etc., because thoughtful gifts go farther than cash. Cubanas are not the mercenaries you're led to believe here, if you show them a little kindness and love.
