Looking forward to reading my obituary in the morning paper.

It started with a scratchy throat and the runs. It progressed through a relentless pounding headache and then the unending coughing and sneezing to the point of actually pulling muscles in my stomach and ribs.I'm afraid to even cough anymore as it hurts like hell.If God is truely merciful he will take me in my sleep tonight,that is if I get any sleep at all. This flu sucks bigtime.

... would you mind laying a hanky over that keyboard before typing?? I certainly don't need to catch that stuff! And if you should find something that helps, please tell me what it is?

CK that flu bug is kicking some butt down here in FL also.

Hope you get to feeling better soon, the flu will be gone but the pulled muscles will still be around for a while.

Been to the doctor yet?

When you go from being afraid you're going to die to being afraid you're NOT going to die, you've passed the critical point...

Well shall be gotten by you. And don't use the passive voice...

CK I can try to fill your shoes on the admin board as best I can if need be....But..... I will have trouble making light of situations and replying / posting some of the funniest things Ive ever seen as you do or have done.

Trust me it's better than me posting a real picture.


I'm feeling better today and actually left the house for an hour or two to get some fresh air. I now just have the nasty coughing to put up with and each cough feels like I'm being stabbed in the ribs. The doc said I had actually torn a muscle from coughing so hard. I'm taking vitamin C and getting lots of fluids and rest and loading up on OTC meds as since it's the flu virus there is nothing much they can do but let things run it's course. Antibiotics don't work on viruses. I'm off until Monday so things should be better then and I'll just have to watch the torn muscle for a bit. I usually get the flu for a day or two each year but I don't remember ever being hit this hard before. The wife is just getting over it as well. She came down with it about a week ago. I fully blame her for all my misery, both flu related and otherwise.

Swine flue, bird flu, butt flu, has to be one of the bad ones.
