      Thank for the good wishes, guys - I'm feeling a little better today,  still a cough, but my fever is gone.  So far, it's been flu-like symptoms for two days, and I literally slept all-day Saturday; something I've never done in my life.  Rose Mary had it first, so I knew it was just a matter of time before I got it (and frankly I'm surprised I didn't get it the same time she did).

      Quercetin opens the door so zinc can enter the cells and that may boost our resistance to viruses, but my sister got the rona anyway in early January. She was sick for around 12 days. She could tell that it was different from a cold or the flu. She had night sweats for two or three days, occasional headache, slight fever for two days, slight sore throat, randomly felt hot or cold, worn out (no energy to do anything), had to go number one and number two more than usual, a little coughing here and there, but her lungs were not filled with crud. No runny nose, but she did need to blow her nose once in a while. No loss of appetite. No loss of smell or taste.

      @Random Terrain Wow - that sounds EXACTLY like what I have, to the 'T'.  Glad she is feeling better.

  5. Bentley Bear: Crystal Quest is complete. Just waiting to test on the real thing (with an XM). I know I'll have to write the manual at some point soon, but I'm busy with Frenzy currently. :(

      Evacuate already if you haven't. Get out - you don't want to be in the way of this natural troublemaker.

    4. GoldLeader

      I wish you the best of course and I really recommend evacuating!

  7. For some strange reason, I've had 'Blue Monday' (New Order) stuck in my head lately...  Don't know why...

      Fun tid bit, Orgy's cover is the first song I danced to at The Sanctuary in Toronto back in the late 90's. Man that place was wild. The place is long gone now. Guess what is in that building now? A f*uckin' Starbucks :x

      Whoa!

      I just took it again, it was 141/85... a little better Heart Rate is still over 100 though.

      Thanks guys. For the record, I lost 65 pounds since September, and I walk every day during my lunch hour.

      I do need to get more 'fruit/vegetable' based though.

       

      P.S. - They sent me the wrong poster; it was supposed to be Betty White ;)

      Xfinity (Comcast) tried to connect us then, but said they had to run the cable underground.

  14. Closing on new house tomorrow... Hope there are no surprises and nothing goes wrong... :-/

  15. Just a word of advice: never, NEVER just take their word for it when someone says to you "I love you so" or "You mean the world to me" or something along those lines. Especially if it's early in the relationship. You WILL be sorry if you believe that person... and it will leave you in a bad place.

  17. Don't EVER use the USPS to ship anything.  I shipped four working Pac-Man arcade boards to GA (the next state over) on 07/10.  The boards never got there.  I placed a 'Search Mail' incident, and when nothing got done I placed an Insurance Claim (took out extra insurance in case of anything).  They just denied me and didn't give a reason.  $400 and four working boards are now gone.

      Get on the phone with them, Bob. That is unacceptable. Get your money or your boards. They owe you and need to make you whole.

      Jesus. Honestly, I find if anything like this needs to be sorted, it is better to let a woman deal with it. Less chance of getting arrested if you're fired up.

      I always look at what the nurse do. I have very bad veins and if I see her( or him, sometimes) do it the wrong way, I tell it. Almost the Klingon way.

      I started to try to record a cover of that song one time and quickly realized that Mark King is absolutely shredding the bass while singing at the same time... it's awesome!

    4. PacManPlus

      I made a custom 9:40 version of this song taking the 12" extended version, 12" dub version, and the 7" version (because they removed the second verse in the 12" version for some strange reason) - I liked the intro of the dub version, switched over to the 12" remix, and just added back the second verse with the 7" version.

      Netflix or Amazon or both have a burning log you can stare at. They also have fish and other things.
