TT Feeling Sickly Thread

“I just hold my breath until I pass out. Usually by the time I come to again, the hiccups are gone.”

“Does it have "eye of newt" and "wing of bat" in it?”

“okay, well you just stick w/that, bitpusher! ;-)

awww, that reminds me, i saw a squished newt on the road the other day, Aero...it was so sad!

well, all you do is find the hollow in your throat under your adam's apple (if you're a boy), and apply firm pressure there w/your fingers while you take as many slow, deep breaths as you need until you stop hiccuping! it works like a charm, no lie.

pinkbubelz, where'd you come from?”

“Planet earth... :-)

and you?













Born and raised (most of my life) within 25 miles of Detroit)”

“LOL! We're not sure if lyra is from Earth or not. She's more likely from Planet of the Apes. ;)


Pink, I'm a native Detroit suburbanite too. I grew up in Sterling Heights, live in Novi now.”

“Stay away from smiley, pink. She's a germ bag!”

“Smiley, we are very near to each other!
I'm very close to Novi!”

“well Smiley, you are obviously delirious, b/c everyone knows that monkeys aren't apes! christ on a cracker.”

“All primates look the same to her.”

“Christ on a cracker?

That's a new one for me! LOL”

“I feel sick just being at work after a great week long backpacking trip to the Wind River Range.
Got the 'after hike' blues.......


LOL@heradorabelness”

“I was just hoping to get you going on that one, lyra!”

“Well, I had chicken soup for dinner last night. My version of it anyway. Nyquil rocks, I had a great night of sleep. But, I woke up hungover just a bit. I'm less runny today and much more stuffy.

I've got to get better by Thursday!!”

“Drink loads and loads of water and take steamy hot showers. Feel better quick too.”

“I am feeling better today. I don't sound as good, but the cold is finally letting go!

Sass - e-mail to follow....I've got a couple quick questions for you!”

“I am sickiepooh :(

need to go home and sleep :(

sniff sniff ugh....”

“:( Take zinc and chicken noodle soup.”

“I'd swear I was dead if I didn't feel so rotten.
My head hurts, my throat is raw, my body aches, and I look like a coke head 'cause my nose is red and chapped from the kleenex abuse. Woe is me.”

“The lotion Kleenexes help with the Rudolph or "coke head" nose. Puffs brand are good too. With lotion and aloe. ahhhhh.

I'm luckily getting over my sickiness. I just have an annoying cough that strains my vocal chords. My throat constantly feels strained and tight and scratchy. Fun stuff.”

“Oh man I am still so sick.
I think i'm going to pass out :(

ugh.....”

“Don't drink to much of Crash Bang's blood.
Or it that what caused this?”

“Bleah!!”

“hairball?”

“Hair ball?”

“jinx”

“13 seconds”

“He puked about a dozen times last night, then couldn't poop. He was walking around really slow stopping every so often trying to poop, but it just wouldn't work. Until during the night, when he left little pieces all around in different spots. Taking him to the doc today.... :-(”

“good luck bowlder.

hopefully it's nothing a bit of laxative can't cure.”

“We hope so! At age 17½, you never know - good thoughts are welcome....”

“Hope you feel better MrHyde.”

“feel better Mr. Hyde - sucks getting old don't it!”

“I feed my cats the hairball control food. Every once in a while the poop in the litter box will have cat hair on the end of it, so I guess it works. One of my cats will eat just about anything on the floor - lint and strings included. I think the hairball food keeps things moving through his system well...


Hope Mr. Hyde is ok!”

“17.5 years?
Best wishes Mr. Hyde!
Get better soon!”

“Hope Mr. Hyde gets better soon!”

“get better mr hyde!

Me...I was so tired at the end of work last night I was dizzy. Nearly fell I was so dizzy. Feeling so tired today to. Maybe I should call off work today?”

“I hope you feel better Mr. Hyde. Some of my cats have eaten odd things over the years, 2 of which required mineral oil enemas to dislodge. Other things had to be gently pulled out by hand. Ick.”

“Just back from the doc. Mr. Hyde has some sensitive anal glands, which make it uncomfortable to poop. He also has a heart murmur, which may be either serious or not. Blood was taken; results Wednesday. Hearing loss seems to be just from being old, not from any blockage or anything....

BTW, according to the chart at the vet's office, he's equivalent to an 86-year old human....”

“Didn't we just have this talk about dogs? :-(
Yuck!”

“Update: Mr. Hyde is doing much better today. Supposed to get blood test results back tomorrow....”

“that's spectacular.”

“Positive thoughts for Mr. Hyde (great name for a cat).

BTW, I returned to work yesterday after being off with a broken ankle since September 2. I broke it on August 27, but was determined to continue working.

Hobbling around on crutches and stoned on codeine, I manage to fall down the stairs and break my cast.

I had an appointment with my specialist and it went like this:

'How did you break your cast?'

'I fell down the stairs.'

'Where?'

'At work.'

'Didn't the Emergency Room doctor give you a letter?.

'Yup.'

'Doug, try not to be an @$$hole, okay?'

'Yes, doctor.' (an old rugby buddy)

I decided it was stupid considering that I think I have about twenty good, active years ahead - ten of which are going to rock. Losing that because I'm too pig-headed to take the time to heal would not be bright, even by my standards.

I still came in to chatter on TT, order the stuff for our climbing wall, arrange the instructor course for the P.E. teachers and supervise my young rugby coaches on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. It's a little tougher getting through the day, but it looks like I'll come back to where I was before, but less fit for a while.

I asked the doc about physio, but he said it wasn't for people like me.”

“started getting a sore throat yesterday.

woke up this morning and can barely sleep. all stuffy and can barely swallow and have the fever aches.

gotta love getting sick. i get this sore throat/cold/hacking cough twice a year... usually right before summer and right before winter. guess it wanted to change up on me this time.”

“I've lost my appitite the last couple of days...


...not a good sign. I am hoping it is just from being so tired and not a relapse...”

“Wow...hope everyone feels better soon.”

“Mr. Hyde is doing much better now.

BowlderSon is now sick - 101.5 temp at last check. Puked a couple times in the last 12 hours. I'm staying home with him now; BowlderGal takes over at noon....”

“Get well BowlderBoy!”

“yuck! i'm starting to get over my cold, but still congested and hacking up kryptonite.”

“You need my secret recipe: dissolve a couple of cough drops (the menthol-lyptus kind, whatever flavor you like) in boiling water. Mmmmmmm.....”

“BLEAH! That's like drinking listerine!”

“But it works!!!


(you can also add some whisky if it's around bedtime)
