I am laid low by some nasty illness that Dr Norris says is sinusitis. The symptoms are a hacking cough, hacking enough to shock a Labrador and to cause Cheyenne to come and check me out anxiously as I gasp and struggle to clear my airways. My Jewish wife is feeding me chicken soup and antibiotics as I lay on her yoga pad on the couch and feel sorry for myself. 
Chuck on Fleming says absinthe is the way to go and I think he may be right but my wife says no milk and thus no proper Yorkshire Gold tea, so I am reduced to drinking ghastly flavorless white tea and eating gruel. Personally I think this is an act of germ warfare by the nefarious riepe recovering from his own bout with bronchitis in Pennsylvania. Perhaps I am a victim of secret government biological warfare experiments. Or perhaps it is just my turn to feel like crap for a few days.
And if anyone wants to go across the canal and sabotage the very noisy crew rebuilding Vera's burned out home I would be very grateful. 
I can't tell which is my nerves in my cranium and which is their circular saw making the screeching sounds and both hurt my head.

I have the same thing. I have been in bed since Saturday. Everyone seems to have this one. It is pretty scary to think how quickly these things spread. We wash our hands, we get our flu shots.....and then voila, a new germ. We all get sick.
Today I think I am at the halfway point but not sure. After today my chicken soup will all be gone so I better improve soon.
Feel better
Some of the soft orange ear plugs work wonders. They are soft enough that you can sleep with them. I often walk around the house with them in my ears when my 4 and 6 year girls start screaming/crying/whining/fighting. That and some what I like to call nerve pills and life is a bed of roses, albeit one covered in god damn snow today. Feel better soon.
snort salt water. sovereign remedy.
Mr Conchscooter:
methinks that a certain Jack in West Chester put some sort of time release germ capsule inside your saddle bag on your last trip. Either that or he sneezed upon your mighty steed
Hope you get better soon

I can run the remains of my current stash of Pernod Superier up to your place tomorrow.
And yes - Riepe has indeed placed a pox on your head.

May the fleas of a thousand camels
infest the testicles (if he can find them) of reipe for foisting this illness upon you.
Mind we are having blizzard conditions and ten inches of more snow here today, March 23. So consider your self blessed you have a Jewish wife who knows how to care for the ill and a dog who still loves you in spite of your malady.

It could be worse, you could be in a place with blizzard conditions, ten inches of snow and feel like you do. Get plenty of rest and hope you feel better soon!
