I'm eating all that plus anything and everything else that could possibly blow this crap out...also sweating it out at night - 4 blankets (one electric), sweat pants and shirt, two-pair socks...lots of OJ (2 gal/day). But I gotta say, there havn't been any vampires around the house this week - it might be the garlic. Wednesday morning before I leave, if all is not well, I'm hooking up my vacuum cleaner to my nose and ears and turning it on to HIGH. No, shrek I won't let you use it on your water spout. Sounds like you're on top of it. There's also these oversized alka-seltzer like tablets that you can put in the shower that help clear you up too. I think they're called "Shower Soothers". Put one of those suckers in there with you, where the water can hit it, close the door and let the room steam up. Hope you're feeling better at crunch time.

I won't do the whole "I told you so" thing, but I DID post a thread about taking preventative measures all last week to avoid this sort of circumstance. I believe my list was Airborne, vitmain C, grape seed extract, alpha-lipoic acid and garlic. It may not be too late to nip this thing right where it stands.

I don't know if it was the large landing area at Raeford, the fact that I've actually been practicing from time to time or some other less obvious factor, but I actually flew my Challenger out at the DZ this weekend without crashing it, getting it stuck in an obstacle or busting a wing. Of course, I wasn't pulling any any aerial maneuvers more intense than a steep diving turn.

I voted "no", but then I wondered if not taking the last choice means I'm a coprophage of some sort. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Actually, my boss is about the same size as Hagrid, so staying on his good side becomes imperative. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Soooo, things were going well between the two of you up until THAT moment? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

You'd think that, wouldn't you? For some reason, my boss is less inclined to agree. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Lord, I could write a book...not that anyone would read it but ME. My job in that relationship was to sit at home, in minimal lighting so as not to use an inordinate amount of electricity and/or bother her while she studied; no music, because that would bother her while she studied (regardless of the fact that nobody could hear the music beyond a 2-foot diameter); no television, for the same reason as the radio (even if the sound were turned off, she would KNOW I was watching and it would bother her); no computer, as she was threatened by the fact that there were other people in the world who might have time to interact with me when she wouldn't; no phone...the studying issue again; no friends over, as that would prove I could have a life and interact with people in person and thereby undermine the whole platform of control she was operating from; no going out because she was threatened by the mere thought that I could be enjoying myself while she studied/slept/went to school/worked/anything but interact with me; and on top of all of that, no talking, singing, humming, burping, farting, excessive breathing or other noises associated with being alive that could interrupt her in her studies. Oh, and by no means were we to have sex at any time other than once a month, at a time of her choosing (the exact schedule to which I was not privy) and with as little change in the act as possible. Essentially, I was expected to sit at home, isolated from everything and everyone, quietly waiting in the dark for her to decide she might have a minute or two on an ever-changing basis to spend with me. Oh, and no masturbating. That would eliminate one of her perceived holds on me, and that was unacceptable. Thank goodness I have the heart and soul of a rebel, or I would have stolen quietly away to a monastery.

Actually, my swetheart tends to easily forgive everything from the most mundane offenses to the kind of stuff some women would use as an excuse to create the bonfire of the century with your belongings. As long as one or two rules remain unbroken, we're cool. My EX, however, was mortally offended that I wasn't a monk who had taken simultaneous vows of marriage, silence and chastity (with her). That was a rare treat, and quite a period of introspection for me.

So, it would behoove me to be on the the ground before you if I want some decent footage to show later? Oh, and I promise to not be a TOTAL pain in the ass ALL the time. I can hardly sit still here at work. I'm tempted to call in sick through wednesday next week, except then I'll be home all antsy and fidgeting, instead of at work in a similar state.

Hmmm...that means you'll have to get pied. And, I know what you look like now...heh, heh, heh.... So, perhaps I should get my 300th out of the way THIS weekend, to avoid putting too much strain on the Dublin Pie Committee?

I'm not entirely sure, but I hear it's a beautiful place with excellent weather and plenty of happy folks frolicking about by night and making lasting sky-memories by day. Steve, would you REALLY throw up on Norman Kent's shirt if you met him?

I have to ask, because I can: what is that camera relaying back to when you fly it? A laptop? Some other receiver? I'm really interested in this set up for my Challenger, once I'm able to fly the same wing for more than a week. I want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row when I start making changes to my plane.

THAT would be a good book, huh? Hmm. I wonder if the TRUTH of Dublin would be stranger than FICTION, in the case of the comic strip? Looking forward to tomorrow's submission, Steve.

I had planned on being there for it, but Boom Boom and I bungled a key conversation and she forgot to ask for wed-fri off, so we'll get there 10pm Wednesday. I was all pysched for it too.

That's the great thing about my Challenger: a plethora of relatively inexpensive wings close at hand. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

I'd be more worried about friday morning and saturday morning if I were you. Oh, one more to add to the "take as much of this as you possibly can" list: grape seed extract. Anyone who gets sick between now and Dublin to miss the boogie has...well, better things to do with their time than listen to me.

So, is this one going to play out like the other surprise thread? All that foreplay and then limited release? Seriously. I'm all jacked about going to Dublin, but these "Guess what I'm not telling you about the boogie" threads are making me grind my teeth.

All you Dublinites better start taking Airborne, vitamin C, zinc, alpha-lypoic acid and garlic NOW. That way, there'll be no lame assed excuses about being too sick to make it.
