Just get yourself a nice astronomical refractor telescope and view the next full moon. You'll get a better view with a telescope, anyway. You can get a decent one for about $150-200.

Seems like the sickness is going around! Hope all of you feel better very soon!
What do you guys usually do when you are feeling sick?
I've gotten a call several times from a company with a San Antonio, Texas area code. It's a different caller each time, but they always ask the same thing. "Is Edith there?" I keep telling them she is not. When I ask who is calling, they hang up. I tried calling the number back to see what company it is, but all I get is an erratic sounding busy signal. So I've decided that next time I'm going to respond, "Yes, this is Edith. What company is this?"Then whatever last name they have for Edith, I will say, "Oh, you've got the wrong person. I'm Edith Bunker."

Well at least I wasn't alone. I had sinus junk all night last night. The sleep I did get, I must have been snoring like a whole herd of lumberjacks with chainsaws, because every time I woke up my throat was sore.
In other news, have you ever fixed a computer by accident? My aunt Diane brought a laptop over, said Windoze wouldn't boot for nothing. I booted from a Linux flash drive I keep on hand to check the hard drive. Hard drive looked okay so I rebooted to Windoze to see what the symptoms were... and it booted right up.
"How did you do that?"
"Beats me."

Lots of water, force myself to move/heavy excercise to raise body core temp to help fight the infection faster (it shortens the duration of sickness for stuff especially the flu). Drink a lot of home made herbal teas especially with hot pepper's like paprika, black pepper, black tea leaves, cardamom, cloves, and star anise....all brewed together in hot water let it sit for 10 min to infuse and then drink it down.....yes it may not taste like ovaltine but it gets the job done.....I rarely get sick (thank God) due to God keeping me in good health, drinking this tea above as a preventative measure in case i feel bad, and eating a lot of spicy food (spices have great anti-bacterial properties like paprika and red cayenne pepper are great anti-bacterial spices to use in food....
pssst, you are aware that your core temperature can get too high, right?
Thank youHope all you sick folk get well soon.![]()
Thank you {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} My daughter diagnosed me on the phone about a month ago but it took four different doctors before one finally pronounced the proper diagnosis on Monday. Monday night was bad. The worst seems to be over*hugs magenta* (very very gently)
Nice! Do you usually take vitamins to get that extra vitamin C?I like the quote from Bill Hybels, are you for real. Shineyourlight
I start taking a lot of vitamin C, it helps with your immune system.
The struggle is oh so very real.College sucks. I got a research paper due Monday, a short paper due friday and two more due in december.
Hot drink with lemon juice is seriously the only way to go.I just lie in bed moping for a while. Then I realise that the "Woe is me!" lament is useless when nobody is around to see this and feel sorry for me. So I will make a hot drink with lemon juice, take some medication and then get some rest.
