I just wanted to say that I think you've been a lot nicer and easier to get along with/talk to the last month or so. Thank you.

America loves a winner!

Thanks!

I've tried to temper & look @ my comments, from how others may view them, instead of simply the " load, fire, reload " manner , which is too common on the Internet boards.

Always appreciate a kind word.

Yes, I agree. And I've been impressed with the clarity of some of your comments as well.

I've noticed it as well. My "spirit of Christmas" seems to have taken the form of pneumonia this year. I've been running a fever for ten days now, coughing up my lungs. I've actually pulled muscles in my back from coughing so much, so it feels like I have bruised ribs every time I cough. Sleeping is accomplished sitting up, lest I drown in my own fluids...

Not very fun, really. I thought it was on the mend last week, but it's just not going away. I'm exhausted. Just a few more days to go, and then I'll get a few days off.

Yikes. Is it viral or bacterial pneumonia?

I think the spirit of RWED has shifted from the reload and fire mentality. I wonder if it's permanent.

Kwicko,

I am so sorry to hear it. That is just horrendously miserable. My thoughts are with you this Christmas. Hope you recover soon.

Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

Yeah, get well soon Kwicko.

It's not personal. It's just war.

Hi Quicko, I hope you start feeling better soon, pneumonia is a really yucky thing to have and you've really got to look out for yourself while you've got it. I hope things get better soon.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello Mike,

People die this way. The real-life walking dead. I hope you are at least taking the correct medication to combat the infection. I do not want to lose you.

Hey Tony, I had pneumonia TWICE, and I ain't as tough as Mike. No worries.
Both times I got lots of beer into me, followed by vitamins & water. The alcohol dried up my phlegm, the vitamins kept me going, and the water flushed me out. Plus- good sleep (which, if you've ever had pneumonia, you know is nearly impossible).

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Chris: that photo is awesome, thank you SO much!

I've noticed a bit of, shall we say, "lessening" with Rap too; wasn't sure if it was just me, but given it's not, my thanx as well.

Mike: You may well have broken a rib or more. I did just by coughing, and was startled when my doc found the busted rib, I asked how the hell I could have done that, and she said "just by coughing". Never thought it was possible, but it very much IS, so take care!

Also, that sick for that long is something to be concerned about. There are more things out there than pneumonia, flu, etc. which can cause it, so I hope you've seen a doctor, and I hope you haven't just taken their word for what it is. Be well!

Thanks, y'all - Turns out it's viral. Not fun, but some great drugs if you like hydrocodone in a liquid form.

Niki: Yup, I've seen doctors. And they in turn have seen me. It's a bit alarming when more and more people start coming in, wheeling more and more carts with more and more equipment, running more and more tests.Oh

Oh, and no broken ribs. They took X-rays and everything...

Meanwhile, I just slept four hours in a row, which I consider quite a win. A few more days of that, and I'll be well-rested!

Anyhoo, we'll see how it goes after a few days. I didn't mean to threadjack, and Rap has earned a decency thread, so get back to it. I'm going back to bed; hopefully sleep will follow me there.
