USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Ringel05]

We have to leave for Melbourne tomorrow and I am still contagious. Nana is coming this afternoon and mum is paranoid that they will both get sick. Hardly my fault. Its like she blames me for becoming ill five days before a wedding. I didn't ask to get sick. But she will make me go anyway, and potentially infect everyone there, and then if that happens, she will blame me for it.

Probably the best thing is for me to stay home, but I can't do that because its Jess's wedding and I have to go, even if it means everyone gets sick, which I think is a bit selfish of my mum, really.

Get one of these:

Just be glad it's not me, I'd wear this:

Also, when talking about fast "food" I always refer to them as Mc(whatever), like McWendys, McBurger King, etc......... I went into a McBurger King years ago and asked for McNuggets, they corrected me...... with an attitude...... I told them it didn't matter what they were called, it was the same breaded, deep fried chicken pieces and it wasn't a good idea to correct customers while showing an attitude.......

Same shit, different bucket, pretty much.

Went to the doctor just now. I have the flu. Five days before the sisters wedding. Been told that I can have anti virals, as its been less than 24 hours since the onset of symptoms, but I won't be 100% on the day. I may have to watch the ceremony and go to bed before the reception. Will have to see. What terrible luck.
And what an awful thing the flu is! Aches and pain everywhere, I couldn't sleep last night, tossed and turned and was nearly in tears with the pain.

If I'd had my flu shot I wouldn't have this!

Why didn't you get your flu shot? It's just about time for us here in the states to start getting ours for this coming winter. Aren't you close to having Spring in Aussie land?

Work no longer provides them and they cost a fair bit to get them done at the doctors.

I think they're pretty cheap here at the pharmacies. The WHO should get on top of that if the shots are too expensive simply because so many are at risk every year. They're always talking flu pandemics. It only makes sense for them to be affordable.

True.

I thought you all had healthcare in Australia. You all don't?

We do. I can go to hospital and not pay a cent even if I stay for a month. Only thing we pay is for the TV.
Doesn't cover flu shots or things like that, though.

Mum wants me to wear a mask. She hasn't brought me home one yet. I feel bad enough as it is about being sick, she don't need to make me feel worse!

Go ahead and wear the mask, just take it off before the ceremony.

It's my baby boy's 16th birthday.

Cool cake! Happy birthday Michael.

So I'm thinking Sarah G must be really close to Sherry, she know her son's name..

Then I take a second look at the cake...

 

[saveliberty]

Must be bedtime to miss that.

Avoid camels tomorrow and love on the good folks in your life.

Wow, 27,000. This is my first venture in here, I think. Feeling funky today and thought Coffee Shop sounded good. Double mocha always lifts my spirits. Nothing more, just subscribing.

Wow! That is a lot of posts......maybe by the time I've been here 5 years I'll have that many?

Still sending healing vibes to Noomi and an extra prayer for Mrs. Ringel for quick healing and as little discomfort as possible. Giving a wave to Tresha and I'll greet her properly in the morning.

Good night darlinks. I love you guys.

And we're still keeping vigil for

Harper (Save's granddaughter),
Sunshine,
Pogo’s friend Pat and special comfort for Pogo,
TK, and TK's grandma,
Sheila’s friend Shirley,
Spoonie, Ringel, 007, and Sheila's sore backs,
Sherry’s Mom,
BDBoop, her sis, and family,
Hombre,
Pix,
Becki and Becki’s hubby,
Sheila and son Andrew,
Noomi’s Auntie Marj and Nana,
Sheila's sore foot post surgery healing,
Complete healing for Mrs. Ringel and assurance for Ringel and their house deal,
007's Mom,
Pogo's aunt,
Derideo_te for comfort and healing,
Sarah G for comfort and healing,
All of us and those we care about who are looking for work,
Safe travels for those traveling,
All who are dealing with colds and flu,
And all others we love and hold in concern.

And the light is on awaiting the return of Oddball, Sunshine, Jughead, and Becki.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.

Go ahead and wear the mask, just take it off before the ceremony.

But then we have the photos and the reception after. If they expect me to wear a mask and feel like I have some deadly disease, I'll just stay home.

It's my baby boy's 16th birthday.

Happy birthday to your growing lad!

Did you see the ones in the old format? They were pretty nasty.

Yes, but I thought that members placed them there. Who is placing them here now?

Members placed them here and there, over there most were from members who never posted in the CS and thought they were being cute.......... There was and still are members who take issue with not being able to shit in the CS for their own puerile amusement.

Ahhh, capisco. Any way to figure out when the tags are placed on a thread and WHO placed them?

Nope. On the old forum we were pretty sure one individual in particular was doing most of it, an old (not in age) member who was a self styled computer guru that ultimately was banned then started playing retaliation "games". Had multiple socks and hacked a few accounts including a Mod account. Then there was Dante and JB........... JB will never be allowed back on the forum, not after what he did. He somehow got a hold of the Admin's password (complicity?) and played havoc with the board for a day, he was perma-banned and the Admin was fired.

Oooh, I bet that was a riot for anyone that was able to witness it. We had one guy (on another forum)who was banned, come back and post porn all over the board. The mods were scampering trying to keep up with him before anyone saw some of the awful stuff he posted. I can't believe anyone being that immature....this guy kept coming back over and over with different socks, just mainly to cause havoc.

Oh, I remember that day...

So, folks, something fun to start your day with a nice smile:
