Hachi, the only cysts I have are 5 to 8 years old and full of germs! We have two other teachers down with my similar symptoms. So that makes four adults down for over a week some of us out 3 weeks. We have to see how the new teachers do they may be out a long time also.

We still have kids throwing up all over the place! Get ready folks this is going to be an ugly year!

That steroid inhaler will fix the cough flumom.   Frustrating as heck to be sick that long,  Hang in there FM and you'll be fine in a few days for good.

Sick  ..... Feeling a little better, thanks.  Not exactly party time yet, but better.  

I suppose I saved a few bucks on the flu shot and got some needed rest.   No complaints here.   Probably gained a few pounds because all i've been doing is eating everything in sight.  If i don't see another bag of Halloween candy for a year I'll be happy.

Maybe you're just sick of the candy. I'm actually coming down with something myself. I suspect it is related to our chickens that we bought as chicks 6 months ago. They poo a lot! And all over the place. It's been a lot of work -almost all from me keeping their penned in coop area clean but we all know that's for appearances only. Their germs are everywhere and you can't exactly autoclave a back yard. But we are getting 8 or 10 eggs a day. And what does my pop do yesterday? Drags me to the hotel silly (wallmart) and buys two dozen eggs. We have four dozen from our chickens! Anyways, I've got something brewing in my lungs. A (caugh) little Farmers Lung never hurt anyone.

Watch out for those Canadians. My mother is full blown kanook born and raised in Toronto. I'm very partial to Canadians. What can I say....

Happy thanksgiving GN. So what are you thankful for?

Growing up, we always went around the table and had to say what we were thankful for.

We love Canada! ...We can always blame them later. I don't eat much if any candy either, A. So the Reese's won't work for me. What does is time. Time always did the trick. Like I once said, even Advil but rarely. No worries about the cliff. The cliff and I are one.

Are curds and cottage cheese the same? I'm pretty OK with cottage cheese but "curds" sound disgusting. I guess as long as we call it something rosey like cottage cheese I'm OK. Seals belong to the Eskimos. I've had bear once. Recently. It burned my tounge like a hot pepper and kind of got me high. Did not like it. Moose a few times or more. Reminds me of eating horse meat though I don't know what that tastes like. Really. Grew up on deer from the Hollywood hills. Was gamey as they say or was that smog? As for squirrel I had it once in W Virginia. Didn't like eating bones. The beaver now, they had those all over Burbank California. Sad thing is I left town long before I ever could catch one.

I tried that with my kids. It went OK until they got old enough to master sarcasm. 

I'm thankful we didn't lose our house when my husband died.
I'm thankful my daughter didn't die from Ketoacidosis last spring.
I'm thankful my sons are healthy.

For the first time in my life, I fear not being able to care for and protect my children. 
I'm thankful to have friends who understand, and who know there is more than one possible outcome with Ebola. (that would be you guys  ;)   )


Most of all, I am thankful my children have never been hungry, hurt by war, or left alone and afraid by a disease without mercy.

Did someone say squirrels.......Bloody squirrels, bane of my existence. Live in really old house, surrounded by massive trees and have huge attic that they think is their delux rooftop penthouse. Please Please someone eat them !!!!!!! My war with them has raged for 10 years, Just when I think I have won...they come back...

They are so fat and lazy that they hardly ever leave the roof. Other morning two are sitting in roof gutter bathing away....I got so fed up I filled a bucket full of soapy shampoo, ran up to very top of house leaned out a roof window and poured down shampoo solution into roof gutter, hoping to make their water supply yucky. No such luck, bloody shampoo was apple and hazelnut and the furry pests loved it, they had great fun chasing the foam....talk about rubbing it in.

Please eat them, they are big and fat and are now marinated with hazel and apple.....Albert I think they would be good for your cold.

That's a good one.  You've done this before.

Thanksgiving day for GN tomorrow and oneflu got her sick. 

It's frustrating and annoying getting sick, but it will pass quick enough.  Take advantage of getting the rest.  We'll talk you through it all the way. Thumbs Up

I didn't get her sick. I thought I was sick but it turned out to just be my air/fuel mixture. I do have a headache though it's all in my head.

Sorry to hear you have a fever GN. That's not good. That's not from stress. Hope you are better in the morning.

Glad you didn't get sick oneflu and hope the head ache is better.   I'm on around day 7 of being sick and on the mends.  Just the typical chest congestion and cough now, but definitely on the second half  of it.   I actually don't complain much or get too concerned.  As long as I'm going to survive it lol, suffering is not a prob for me.  People have it a lot worse in life than fighting colds/flus so gutting my way thru without the flu vax is a piece of cake when I think of other people.    Whining about a cold/flu when poor Johnray and his wife are going thru so much can be an insult to folk like that.   Still will probably never get a flu shot as being temporarily sick is not that big of a deal to me and I don't have any underlying conditions.  If I did, then I would get it.  

Anyway, hope you get the air/fuel mix fixed and hope GN is still able to enjoy her Turkey Day today in Canada.

I hear you. I'm the same. Unless its really bad I don't even mention it. Most of the time colds/flu don't give me coughs/sneezes/fever, just yucky body aches and then I'm fine. But fever is scarier. Hope GN is better this morning. Glad to know you've peaked. And yes, I too think of JR.

They are guilty every last one of them !!!!!! If they do as much damage to that permafrost as they do to my house then we are all doomed.....

Quote from your article

Mr Golden said: "We saw an increase in soil temperature in the soils where the arctic ground squirrels were occupying.

"This is a major component. As that permafrost begins to warm, now microbes can have access to these previously frozen carbons that were in the soil.

See total global wreckers every last one of them.   I have learned one valuable lesson from my 10 year ongoing saga as they battle me for squatters rights to my loft.....THEY NEVER GIVE UP.

Plague generators and plaque carriers....lethal little furry monsters.....with their big eyes and bushy tails like butter wouldn't melt.

Actually I am now beginning to sound a bit deranged, which don't worry I am not, but I live in an old Victorian building with a slate roof, and every time they dive bomb onto my roof it costs quite a lot to repair.

PS just got quite a few crown reductions on the trees surrounding my house...put their gas at a peep. They sit and stare at their former home just out of reach, hatching their next plan. Hope my neighbours don't see me leaning out my window sticking my fingers up at the furry little vermin.

Hx

Aaaaaaaahhhh.....!!!!!!

They are unstoppable. Look closer at the 2 people in the picture, at their teeth, think they have a squirrel look about them....they have been possessed most definitely.

Was in IKEA a few weeks ago and woman at checkout before me was buying cushions with big pictures of squirrels printed on them.....what the.....I mean what is wrong with these people, you may as well have sewer rats printed on them, and scatter them on your sofa...same thing.

My squirrels are still around, waiting for their chance to break and enter my roof yet again. The trees are huge and well over 100 years old and I don't want to trim them back anymore. Sometimes when the squirrels are watching me and I am watching them, I reach for YouTube and play a buzzard noise....or even an eagle, any bird of prey will do......off they run, eyes to the sky as they dive for cover...hee hee........but like the terminator....they will ALWAYS be back !!!!! My 10 year battle and all the damage and cost they have done to my attic rages on. Never mind germ warfare, it is squirrel warfare in my home.

As spring approaches and trees sprout leaves it gives them more grip on the branches, I know the enemy approaches, using the branches as spring boards to launch on to my roof. My slate roof has got nail fatigue, it causes the slates to dislodge easily, so on go the squirrels, off go the slates sliding down the roof, and they ride them like little surf boards.....probably racing each other, all they need is some sun glasses and loud patterned shirts....... I go weary in to battle this year.

No Hazlepad we are not (PHEW)!  I do like nuts and seeds though.  Giant puffball steaks fried are a favourite food too.  Hubby loves trees (I mean LOVES them, he talks to them and makes "Swampie" look like a manic roadbuilder) and I can't remember where I buried anything (that puts a crimp in my prepping).  But, He is fairly toothless and I am mostly hairless, so I think our resemblance to squirrels is superficial.

I quite like rats though.  Have had several pet ones over the years and they are affectionate and intelligent.  So, sign me up for the "sewer rat cushions".
