I’ve been taking Tamiflu for 5 days now, think I just finished the last one in the box. I think I’m starting to turn the corner on this Flu crap finally. This particular strain really sucks too. Feels like somebody took a wood rasp to my throat. Speaking of tamiflu, it sure does seem to loosen up the insides...like to the tune of 6 or 7 times today now.

Sweetie has been going more than normal as well (lol, but not that much). She's also taking an Aleve knockoff twice a day (I'm taking 'em 3 times daily).

Oddly enough, Aleve (naproxen) actually kept the influenza A virus from replicating according to one study.

Doesn't the flu generally come with a fever? About a week ago, I was sick for a week, 4 days of which I had a really raspy sore throat and sinus congestion, but no fever.

Terry, there's a place north of Clarksville called Ozone. There's an old CCC camp combined with a campground. Most times when I go there, I'm the only one in the campground --- never more than a couple of others. I bet you could really get some unique shots of the CCC ruins!

Thanks. I'll look into that.

AFAIK it does, at least for a while. I shivered all the first night, and just couldn't get warm.

Have you guys read these posts? We have sickness, broken bones, we lost Annie, a cruise ship misplaces an engine, catches on fire, and crashes into Puerto Rico, and then runs out of alcohol.

I'm not sure I want to hang with you folks any longer. I think I see locusts on the horizon!

Dogs and cats are sleeping together as well.

Looooong week....cold evening...bottle of Jim Beam Repeal Batch, leather recliner, real country music playing while I get wiffs and aromas of what my wife fixes for dinner..

Been a good week, though. We've got a couple of "Never-Lube" bearings (think sealed bearings) in our RV's axles that are leaking. Company that made the axles and hubs no longer have the sealed bearings available, so we either needed to find another source of bearings or buy new axles. Had an estimate for new axles that ranged from $5700 to $6500 for the pair.

Had a mobile RV repair guy out yesterday. We can get 2 new axles from the original manufacturer for about $2500 installed, and these bearings are what are called the "EZ-Lube" bearings. Dang good news and axles are on order.

To top it off, the RV tech says he can even install the new axles without us having to move our RV to a repair facility and rent a hotel. He can do the whole process right here were we are.
