Um, as long as it lasts? It's supposed to be done for 14-21 days to be sure everything is dead, but can go longer than that if the symptoms continue. I seem to be over the symptoms, so I'll just take the herbs for another week as insurance and then I should be fine. And happy happy joy joy we found some capsules! That means no more of the nasty taste!

Nico, it sounds like PR is taking care of you. Does it mean you will be having time off work, and you'll be able to chat with us more?

PR, if the symptoms are gone that's got to be a good thing. One more week should do it. I hope you feel better soon. Yeah for capsules that don't taste yucky.

*walks in and clears her throat*

My apologies to you, my friends. It was not utill today that I got a bunch of notifications lettintg me know that people were responding to my comments.

I wasn't ingnoring you I promse. I was a bit preoccupied to re-check the thread (no excuse for that I know) but I would have been here sooner if I had gotten those notices earlier. Forgive me?

DTH: Thanks for the blanket.

Hot chocolate is also good with peppermint schnapps too.

PR: Congrats on the warm weather! I'm surprised the whole state of Colorado didn't go into shock.

Did it last?

For all you east coast folks my boyfriend works at NOAA (not as a scientist but he keeps their computers running) and word has it that this summer is supposed to be one of the hottest on record. Maybe I'll stop bitching about the cold now. LOL! Doubt it!

More hot chocolate with schnapps please.

State didn't go into shock so much as breathe a sigh of relief. But no, it didn't really last. Snowed a little more yesterday, in fact. We've had more snow in the last month than we had all last winter (or the winter before, I'm pretty sure). Wheeee.
Of course we forgive our Whims

Well if you lived on the East Coast you'd have a summer of record breaking heat to look forward to and make up for the cold.

Need wakey, you say? Can do.

*Ransacks the ThinkGeek caffeine section for stuff and swings into action.*

First, we need to remove any possible morning breath. To do that, we'll employ numerous mints.

Next, that coffee just isn't strong enough, so we'll add some extra kick to it. Would you prefer powder or flavoured syrup in that coffee?

Finally, some stuff for you to munch on as you go about your work.

See more for yourself at http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/

EDIT: gorramn it, beaten to the punch. Ah well, nm

Edit #2: This was orginally left off my recommendations for health reasons, but for those who REALLY need a hit, here it is:

Be warned though

Quote:
Warning: Do not take more than 4 doses in a 24 hour period. Too much caffeine can be fatal. If any abnormal symptoms develop, please consult your doctor. Not to be used by children or pets.

Sorry, to hear that you didn't get much sleep last night. It always puts me in a cranky mood when I don't get a good nights sleep. It sounds like the worse part of your day is still to come. Putting kiddos to sleep is usually a very tiring event. I hope they don't give you too much trouble.

It does seem odd to be on here so early. Usually it's around 10 or 11 PM here before I get a chance to sign on. It's nice to actually have you around when I stop by the Bar and Grill.
