Tetchy? Neva heard of it.

css. And php.

Trying to learn Python, though I don't know when I'd ever use it.

Touchy in American.

Thanks, now that you pointed it out I can see the similarity.

We are having blizzard conditions ... yeck!!

Oh, I was thinking tetchy would be nuts, like tetched in the head. Or is that a New England thing?

In pain from my wrist still... Not even able to tie my own shoes without it hurting like crazy. I tried to stir the spag sauce tonight, and now need painkillers. BAH

For some time, I've felt like I should learn Python. I like the approach a lot. But the fact is 99% of what I do is short bits to kludge together things. (Example: look in the registrar's office to see who doesn't have a photo on file for the directory. Then see who off of that list has an ID card photo in the security office.) And I know perl well enough that it's easier to just use that.

I hate the cold weather!!

Up again all night with toothache. Two nights in a row.

I've heard that used around here as well... It seems like there could be some meaning drift there.

we say touched for nuts and tetchy for irritable, also touchy for easily offended.

Today, the Cellar Car gets state inspection + emissions, oil and filter, new front brakes, two new belts, new muffler, and new O2 sensor (long due). All for about $750.

Plus a surprising clean bill of health for the clutch. (Coulda sworn it was slipping, but hey fine!) It's because I love her that I take care of her. Driven a total of 5K miles this past year, thanks to y'all. It's like... it's mildly irritating to pay that sort of bill, but at the same time, I'm taking care of our baby.

It's making me happy that you are taking care of our baby.

It's making me happy that while reading about the cellar car, my peripheral vision noticed that Dana touched her nuts.

:eek:

Ok. I'll go with that. But....an explanation would be kind of cool :P

:whofart:

I'm still mildly confused by that one. I feel i should understand it. It rings a very vague bell with me as being part of an earlier joke. But damned if I can place it :P

Scroll back up to your last post and read again from there... it was only a little funny, don;t have high expectations...

hehehe. Ok. Thankyou. I must have left my brain in the fridge whilst reading this thread :P

My expectations are usually quite low for more situations. Is that a bad thing?

situations? Like Houston we have a problem?

Earlier I mopped my floor and now it feels sticky but it didn't feel sticky before I mopped it. Maybe my feet are sticky.
Maybe I have sweaty feet.
lol

You didn't rinse all the blood from your last victim, out of the mop.

Exacterly... :D

Thanks Merc.

Bruce. My expectations are nil for that to ever happen.

Ashamed I am to say I would swoon first. Have pity on anyone needing emergency assistance involving blood while I am around.
If I could tolerate blood I would go into nursing. I can't even tolerate a paper cut. I'ma woose.( sp?)

Linguistics class.

Did I get that right? Ugh!!

I spent 33.00 for some cough medicine. IT DOESN'T WORK.

tessalon perles. Waste of money.

My dad had those, a week before he died. Didn't do much for him, either.

You need guainefsin (sp). Makes coughs more productive, so hopefully, at least when you do cough they're not as annoying. There's nothing worse than that little tickling cough that just goes and goes and goes. Believe me, I know from coughing.

Oh, that and something with codeine! If you can tolerate it that is, some people can't.

The best will be when the lung flute hits the US market. It will make guainefsin look like the ineffective crap that it is.

This one summer, at lung camp . . .

Loved the movie! But love this joke better. :D

Too bad you are female Bri or maybe this would work for you :blush:

I hate when I wash my chapstick with my clothes :o

Reminds me of a bit from Dr Katz Professional Therapist. The comedian says the doc asked him if his cough was productive...the comedian said "uh, well, I'm not USING it for anything."

I'm sick, again, too. I'm not surprised, since I handled student IDs in hundreds in rapid succession the other day, and half my office is sick. But I'm sick of being sick. I'm sick of winter already.

grumble grumble thanks for listening. ;)

They really downsize the dose, if you take 4x the amount it works better.
When I was in school I turned a bunch of Lignum Vitae on the lathe (that's where guaifenesin comes from - Lignum Vitae, not lathes) and after breathing in a few lungfulls of that dust I can say it works quite well as an inhalant. The syrup even at LD50 doses is only moderately effective in comparison to the fresh dust.

Interesting side note: Apart from Natalie, Lignum Vitae is one of the few woods that does not float.

So I finally went to the doc...got the Exalted Nurse (nurse practitioner) which was fine. She diagnosed sinus infection. But what about the stuff in my lungs? Nada? She mentioned Mucinex to break up the stuff in my head so I bought the generic version. Sure enough, I NOW have a cough and it's quite productive. I'm thinking of starting a manufacturing company, though I might import most phlegm from Mexico or China where I can get cheap workers. The guano-whatever has done nothing for my pounding headache...head feels so full my ears and teeth hurt.

Oh, for that you need pseudoephedrine. :D

Back in the days when I didn't have to worry about high BP, those two OTC meds got me through colds just fine. Now I have to suffer through. :(

Yeah, my BP was elevated, and she asked me if I was taking something. Last thing I took was Nyquil the night before about 9. The rise in BP alarmed me, but they didn't seem too bothered by it.

I think there's pseudo in the theraflu crap I'm trying, and also in the Nyquil.

This is the cold that just keeps giving. :)

Shaw, I was also told that stuffy sinuses can elevate BP all by themselves. So unless it was over 180 or something, I wouldn't worry.

It was closer to 160...I guess not too bad, but it's something I have to watch, and it's been better as of late, so it worried me a bit.

Thanks. :)

The low number is the one that matters, should be under 85. The high number can be influenced by caffiene, stress, meds etc...

"sharp" cheddar cheese that isn't.

people who feel the need to quote the entire immediately preceding post they are responding directly to.

Ugh! I did that too..last week, in a load of darks. Three pairs of black pants are ruined.
