Not the computer kind, but stomach/head/chest. Are you guys having trouble w/ being sick this summer? Wife was daggone nigh comatose for 2 days, and I've been sick for 2 days. A bunch of peeps have had stomach viruses and the respiratory stuff this past month. They have found some dead birds w/ the Nile Virus, but I don't think that's the problem. Don't remember it ever being like this during the summer here...:(

Rest assured Sponge there are bugs around all year round. We had almost everyone working in the ER with a nasty bug that had everyone coughing, plugged up, and sore throats for a few weeks. We see people all year round with gastroenteritis too.

Sponger, that isn't a virus, it is the result of Theedz's peppers and Paydays, mixed with that infernal hot sauce. Near systemic shutdown could result!

Knock on wood, I have had only one extremely mild cold in the last 3 years. Since I became religeous with flossing, brushing and listerine, nothing sets in.

Guess they are around, just haven't heard much about them this time of year. Were it not for the hot sauce and peppers Stever, I doubt I would be alive today! In fact, Theedz pickled peppers will no doubt bring me out of this one in better shape than before.:O Thanks for the ideas Todd; the use of such implements were just recently introduced into the mid Atlantic region, and the assorted Sponges will be attending seminars this week in hopes of using these fascinating tools.;) One would expect such aggravations in the fall/winter, but not during the endless summer season...

I just completed a course at the local community college on Witch Doctoring. I figure I can cure just about anything with a gourd and some sage. Maybe we could hook-up and I could hang you from a tree with eagle talons imbedded in your chest..................................................................

By Gumby Raze, I'd about try it...weak as a kitten and as useless as a thumbless mitten...SVL- you need to stay down here for 1 month; no doubt you'd go back a changed man!:O Don't feel bad; Spongette won't eat them either, although they are the first cousin to Cream of Wheat, which is tolerable w/ salt/pepper/butter/hot sauce...

Sponge..sounds like you need to get out in a boat and battle a hog, get some pictures with a smile to rival the size of the fish and watch her swim away. I believe it is a pretty universal cure for almost any ailment. Try it.

STILL sucking wind big time today...I'll be battling "boss hog" at the office today, and will no doubt be locked away against me wishes for a LONG 8 hrs today. Topping out at 90+ today, and I'm sitting here shaking...time to jam down on some vitamin C tabs and face the wind...
