h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So then, how is your week-end getting along, good Lady? Our weather looked gorgeous yesterday, ... looking out with a scrub-bucket in-hand.

<-spring-cleaning>

Oh my gosh.. I've been very ... I left w**k Friday shortly after going in.. didn't even bother working from home except for when someone called my in' celly... passed out and stayed out..

I probably should have gone to one of those emergency clinics but I had figured if I still felt crappy on Monday I'd call my own doc.. and I can already tell I'll be calling her tomorrow..

Oh dear, please do take care of you and don't be foolishly "independent" as my missus might. She's let minor things escalate, rather than get proper assistance when she should have.

What bugs me more is that often, she doesn't even tell me if stuff is bad.

I went to the doc today. I have strep

Awww heck, pooh and darn.

It's not something I have met, but my baby has dealt with variations with her brood. It is something that is readily treatable, apparently. Any contra-stuff with your existing repertoire of 'maintenance' to be concerned about?

I don't think so. Just have to deal with it for a few days. The doc prescribed a variety of items to add to my already granny-like collection.

Oh, I don't know what your collection looks like, but my in-laws kitchen cupboard looks like a pharmacy !!! It's an amazing scientific feat to sort out who gets what in the mornings.

My collection is rather robust as well.. of course none of the more festive items are here but still..

Wot, not even seasonally coloured so as to appear festive?

I'm not at all making light of your needs, Lady. Just acknowledging that they are as necessary now as "little-girl-room" breaks, and so might as well be met with a touch of levity as somberness. And I'm just absolutely terrible at remaining somber.

life's too in short for somber...

BTW, did you ever receive that e-mail about a broken bit of Media Player? The MTP?

nope.. I have no idea why... try my yahoo address... same as the hotmail..

Yahoo dot com? I gave that a try. Of course, if it's an org or a net, then there will be a lot of inconvenienced electrons out there, skipping about the net without aim.

Being a holiday week-end, do you find both of you home, for a good feast of what-ever? I'll be roasting up a pretty nice sized chicken, and adding a bunch of the usual veggies and gravy and stuffing and such.

Yahoo stinks.

It is awful, aggressive, sneaky software. AT&T here in the usa has linked themselves to yahoo and they are sliding down down down. I am about to start a Rant Room. Oh, wait a minute, there is the grumpy thing I am in.... well - my recommendation is still to avoid yahoo and aol. And MS Windows really. The techs are out of control and...
ooops I will not rant. Yet.

*ahem*

Hello. Brushing aside the fact that I'm a tech of 30 years experience, and the other person on this wire (and her best friend) are rather closely associated with M$ ... Welcome to our thread.

I'm Nick.

*whispers to Nick* I prolley shouldn't mention where I work, huh?

I's saying nuffink.

Partly 'cause I feel about 37 pounds heavier. That small-looking chicken that entered our oven, came out HUGE. I had to sample her, the stuffing, the spuds, the gravy, the carrots ... thrice.

we had quite a bit too... lamb, taters, asparagus, fresh rolls and homemade cake with strawberries and whipped cream..

Sounds yummy.

Sorry that I missed you. Part of the spring cleaning "unearthed" a load of VHS tapes of stuff, that I've started to put to DVD. Yesterday, I called a in Ottawa, to ask if I can hold her tape of "Cleopatra" for just a few more hours ... I've only had it since '89. Since then, she's served in Alaska, California, Boston, and now Ottawa. In any case, she just returned my call, tying me up for an hour.
