How the hell do you manage in Texas, Clod??
I had a college roommate from San Antonio. I had approximately double her baud rate.

When I was leaving the gym today, as this older guy and his wife walked past he turned and said "Hey, I love your hair!", which made me smile and say "Thanks!". They took 2 or 3 steps before the wife said "You actually like that frizzy mess look?"

Wtf? This is why I don't talk to people...

(and it's not a "look", it really is a frizzy mess. Bitch)

The puke bug. Whatzit called officially, norovirus, I think?

I had it 2 weeks ago. Son had it Monday, into today. Now daughter has it.

I'm afraid hubby will be next, he's been complaining of his stomach for the last two weeks but he tends to be kind of a hypochondriac. Never does anything about his illnesses real or imagined, but still.

I missed a few classes when I was sick (fortunately, it coincided with our snowstorm so some were canceled), missed Monday so I could stay with our son, and now if *everyone* but me is sick tomorrow I don't see how I can escape from the house even for the 4 hours I need. I'll have to stay home and empty buckets, do laundry, fetch towels and ice water and ginger ale and jello all day.

As for Monday, let's just say I am really glad we have hardwood floor and not carpet in the living room and hallway. And that we are replacing the carpet in my son's room anyway.

On the bright side, since I already had it, I can be caregiver without worrying about myself. I hope!

Jinx - I'm like that guy, every time I see hair like yours I always do a double take to admire it - Ive always liked curly, wavy hair. The wife was just really, really jealous - and nasty enough to be vocal about it.

jujuwwhite · 03-03-2010, 08:32 AM

In a pissy mood, especially since I've practically quit drinking to relieve the stresses and can't increase my any meds without sleeping my life away! I guess screaming is my next stress reliever!!!! UUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH yep. helping already!!!

xoxoxoBruce · 03-03-2010, 09:17 AM

juju, try physical activity. A punching bag, swinging a baseball bat or an axe, sometimes even popping bubblewrap, will work. Just a few minutes of concentrated effort can sometimes be enough to relieve the pressure.

I remember reading about a woman that couldn't unwind enough to get to sleep. One night she knocked something off the nightstand and it rolled under the bed, so she got out of bed and ended up crawling all the way around the bed on her hands & knees to retrieve it. When she climbed back into bed, she fell asleep immediately. From then on, whenever she didn't fall asleep immediately, she'd crawl around the bed on all fours. Worked every time.

I know the feeling. My wife is always asking me to wait for five seconds before responding to her.

Thanks, Bruce I will try that...

But as far as this one, I think I will bypass it, Capn would just think it was an invitation for some really kinky stuff!!

Oh man,my new neighbors St Bernard(7-8 months old) learned how to howl from the other neighbors dog. It's an outside dog and learns really quick. Last night was kinda bad. I'm going to haft say something.I'm not looking forward it.

Bruce 9012 · 03-03-2010, 05:12 PM

to it, sorry

Emails.

Emails are a BIG POOPY HEAD to handle.

I had to print out 1500 emails, half with multiple attachments. Took me 10 hours. Then I had to sort and staple and collate. Before that, I spent DAYS entering all the emails --- all the emails by date, and all in a string, which is especially tricky, into a table.

Then I received another table . . . 120 pages long.

as I said, seriously big poopy head. bah!
