LosMediasBlancas Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm coming to Chi on Tuesday and I'm battling a mean ass flu. Got up today and every joint in my body ached and I had that hot-cold tingle all over my skin. A summer flu out here sux. Imagine a flu in 115 degree heat, just miserable. I'm trying everything I can to kick it by Tuesday. Zicam, Ny Quil, Sudafed, orange juice, hot sauna..... Any other suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, the problem is it didn't kick in until this past Friday night, not enough time to get in to see a Dr....and I've worked 12 hour days since then. The last time I came home I was sick then too and looked like death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was opening the door this morning and I caught my toe-nail. I took a huge chunk of skin out from underneath the nailbed and have a decent bruise under the nail. I've also got quite a gash going on the tip of my toe. As well as significant bleeding from the sides of the toe-nail. It hurts real bad. Â Anyone have any tips for maybe how to keep the nail from falling off or how to alleviate any pain or whatever? Â Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't as bad as it seems. It will grow back and you will have beautiful feet once again. If the pressure gets too bad, pierce the nail with a needle using a kind of drilling maneuver. It will result in immediate relief. The nail through the skin and under the nail is far worse.  Control pain with whatever self medicating option you prefer. Alcohol, gobbling Motrin or Aleeve.

Texsox Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 This year's Distinguished Lecturer Series at my University was announced. Jeff Corwin, Judy Sheppard, Jehan Sadat, and Dr. Ballard. I'm thinking, isn't he dead? Why her, she will just yell about the Bush, who is she?, and what did he do? Â Oops, Jeff Corwin isn't Steve Irwin, Judy Sheppard is not the woman that camps outside The Crawford Ranch and chats with A-List Celebrity Dems, Jehan Sadat is pretty interesting, and he discovered the Titanic. D'Oh. Didn't they already kind of know it was at the bottom of the Atlantic? So three of four seem interesting. I'm probably most interested in what Judy Sheppard has to say.

Brian Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 We have a new receptionist at work who is really hot. She is not there on weekends but I am sometimes and saw her desk and she has a picture of her and her husband framed. Let's just say that there is hope for all of us. He is the exact opposite of what I thought her husband would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
