ugh!

21 years ago

That is how I feel right now, coughing, sneezing, sore throat, just UGH.

It makes caring for someone else a pain in the a**. All you want to do is curl up in bed and sleep.

I know you all probably have been through this, at one time or the other.

Just wanted to say what I really cannot say to the son, "Leave Me Alone". That feels better.

I just got over a bad cold, it's so undignified. You just want to curl up in Mom's lap and let her tell you you'll feel better.

Put your head here, and I'll stroke it, and you know, you feel feverish, you should be in bed! Why don't you lie here on the sofa, I'll fix you some soup, and here's some soda, how about a popsicle. Here's a nice blanket, and the cats can snuggle up and purr, why don't you all take a nap.

At a time like this, you need mothering, it's so hard to have to give it too.

Take care.

Oh, Jeannine, I know just how you feel. It is miserable enough if you have no other responsibilities. And they don't go away quickly. Tried the Zicam and the zinc, really didn't see much difference. Do hope you feel better soon, and the Mike doesn't catch it. Spring is here!in a week you will feel better! Derry

most of the time when you see leeches they are the kind that just eat the gunk and muck...however all of them freak me out too...I got them in one of my pop up pools one year...I was in there misering around and got out and they were attached to me---I freaked out...after getting them all off I headed to walmart got some alum and dumped it in...It really worked--not sure how much is too much with fish...this pool didn't have any fish in it so I used the whole container...

Like you, I live in a NYC 1950s coop and have a galley kitchen. Like you, I bought a new stove that does not go flush against the wall because of the gas pipe behind stove. Like you, the coop does not want to shut off the building's gas, so work can be done in my apartment. Could you describe what your plumber did to fix this problem and/or forward me his/her contact information, in the event my current plumber cannot figure it out?

Ugh, David Austin USA virused stock

Found this post in another thread, maybe the strain I dealt with was different from Diane's: henry_kuska 6 years ago There is no such thing as a virus named RMV. RMV is the group name for a number of viruses that infect roses. Even for a single virus in that group there are different strains that have different virilities. Also, the rose imune system has been shown to be more efective at fighting PNRSV (usually considered the most common rose virus in the U.S.) at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. Thus, someone in a warmer climate may feel that a certain virus infection is not a big deal, but that experience probably will not apply to the same variety of rose with the same virus (and same strain) infection grown in a cooler climate. Also, since we are normally dealing with hybrids, the immune system can vary from rose variety to rose variety. When you add that it may be a different virus, a simultaneous infection with two or more types of virus, and/or an infection with a different strain of an individual virus; you see that it is risky to make general statements about what an untested rose virus infection will mean to someone else.

Ugh... worse than I thought... loose tick!

Using tape to enclose a tick is the best method of disposal -- apparently flushing does not kill them, and there is the possibility that it could make its way back out of the toilet (shudder). And being able to identify the tick a la taping it is an excellent idea, I am told. More than 40 years ago, before much was known about Lyme disease, and it was not as prevalent in most areas, our family went camping with the Boy Scouts for the weekend. On an island just off the coast of RI. DH, a scout leader at the time, was bitten by a deer tick, and got the characteristic red bulls-eye rash some time later. And then a couple of years after that, he got bitten again, same scenario repeated. Two bouts of Lyme disease is not recommended!

Mum came down with a cold on Sunday. She was feeling pretty crummy on Monday and fussed about her doctor's app't.. Ever the soul of compassion I told her "tough, you're going!"; I mean really! if you're sick what better place to go, right? ;)

Anyway, she's on the mend (will be ready for the audiologist and NEW HEARING AIDS and a bone scan on Monday). But now I have it...

Serves me right for being so "tough"... you think? :) I sure hope everyone is feeling better these days!
