AnsweredBapu's (and others) random thoughts for the day.

Cut the cheese and there's be nothing left in this fred.

I wonder if craigb(ITHRN) is lurking or pretending to be asleep...

I'll just have to claim the TOTP prize for this week then as craigb(ITHRN) clearly doesn't want it...

I think you caught him off guard It will be hard to accept, I think..

Craig B (ITRHN) is very sick today.  Roommate picked up a nasty flu early in the week and shared.  I'm one day behind him so today is NOT looking like any fun!  Fever, body aches, bad cough, only want to sleep and that's just the start...  BLEH!!! 

So you thought you'd come here and share it with us...   That's very thoughtful of you craigb(ITYRN)  *cough* 

Whenever I screw up I ALWAYS say I'm sick.

Good thing you have fever, body aches and a bad cough.  Otherwise you wouldn't know you're sick!! 

Hi,
 
The cheese got moved? I mean, is the fridge that big?

Whenever I screw up I ALWAYS say I'm sick.

So I guess I'm chronically ill then. 

So I could use this for screwing up all the time?? That's a relief

Is this some kind of sick joke? I take a few days off, and everybody's been calling in sick.
 
Ok, back to twerk everyone...........let's get this party started!!!
 

 
 

Hi,
 
Sick?
 
What's that?

*Bleh!* - Day 3... 

crheg dud feel zo ghud

*Bleh!* - Day 3... 

Get well soon Mr. CB........the TOTP kneads ya.
 
 
Although I'm not a fan of this concoction, I thinks it works. Per me lady, I drink this every morning before eating breakfast:
 
2 tablespoons of (organic) apple cider
a little bit of water
1 tablespoon of raw honey (it's important to get it from a local farm and not the store bought stuff)
 
This is the first time in years the whole family hasn't got even a slight cold the past year (they only took the honey).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I've had LOTS of water and we also have local raw honey, but the closest I can get to the apple cider is applesauce right now.
 
Unfortunately, this isn't a cold, it's a nasty flu that's going through a lot of the dart players.
 
My night keeps going in this repetitive cycle: Try to sleep but my mind seems to be going 100 miles per hour any sleep is tortured by bizarre dreams, then I wake up about ten minutes later coughing (which now hurts), sweating like crazy with a dry mouth so I take some water which then makes me want to go to the restroom.  Once I stand up I start getting shivers and shakes so I get back under the covers as fast as possible only to start the cycle all over again.

That sounds awful Craig.......looks like a vicious cycle (you may need a bed pan ). Get as much rest as you can and hopefully, your immune system will fight it off soon.
 
Don't worry about looping in here, some Juan will step up to the plate and take over the torch. :)

Day whatever...  Still wish I could actually sleep (I just lay in bed but don't fall asleep).  One of the other guys who got this at the same time posted that he had even coughed up some blood and now has pneumonia so I'm being careful.  STILL having body aches, deep cough and fever cycles, but I have been able to eat some actual food.  Yay...

Another excellent food I can recommend (when having the flu) is Lemon Grass Soup......aka Tom Yum Goong (Thai soup) and get it spicy!! That'll clear up the majority of your congestion.

*Bleh!* - Day 3... 

That's exactly what the Sharp Cheddar from England (supposedly) from Trader Joe's looks like ... not sure I want to eat any of it!

I've never seen Cheddar that looks like Day 3

Just don't cut the cheese...........PLEASE!!

Mesh
Just don't cut the cheese...........PLEASE!!

Oops...
(If only you had mentioned that sooner!)

Sheesh!  Does this stuff ever end?  Well, I guess it's "better" than it was.  I'm now starting to be able to sleep up to 90 minutes at a time and the cough isn't quite as bad or frequent.  Still feel weak, achey and useless to actually DO anything, but both my roommate and I seem to be almost to the point where we can finally sit mindlessly and watch vegetative TV (neither of us could even do that for a few days!).
 
This is almost as bad as being stuck in one of the forums upstairs! 

craigb

...

We would have nothing to **** about if it did!
 
Dude ... get on with the program!

Good thing about the forums is they're only one click away from being opened or closed.......not so with the flu.
 
Have you tried a spicy Tom Yum Goong soup?

I've been looking for Michael Bentine shows for years ... but it looks like the BBC did not save any or dumped them all ... most of the Goon shows start in 1954 with the shows in 1953 redone later differently.
 
Proud owner of 130 Goon shows and still not enough!
 
I so want to play a few moments for folks here ... it would be a lesson in musicality ... but I am not sure that Bapu would want to listen to Dennis Bloodnock singing in the bath ... with cannons!

I only noticed that MY TOP was Goon...

Horsepower! Yeah

Zargg71
Horsepower! Yeah

And he can easily tell when he's running out of gas.

I must point out that "should I ban a joint? can be taken several ways!

How many times can a fred be answered before it finally dies?
