Ooof! That’s rough. Are you sure you lost it, though? When I was a doctoral student I had some music go missing that I swore I’d returned. Thankfully, the music library allowed me to replace the music with copies or, in one case, buying replacement music myself, which was much, much cheaper than what the library wanted to charge me in fines and fees. Good luck.
It’s a book that I end up sharing a lot (popular conference proceedings) so it’s still possible that someone I lent it to still has it… but I’m frustrated with myself for not keeping track of it.
Yikes, Armando! It’s hard when the whole family is sick, but get better soon!
(I hate bronchitis. Nothing like running a timed 4 mile run in the winter with your lungs burning)
forgot to bring my dress shoes to work this morning and all I have are snow boats. So it’s either freezing or scorching feet at my desk, and wonderful staring at my cluckers when I have to go to meetings.

Ouch. Hope you feel better soon.
Did Elena wake up because she’s sick too?
My spine is now fused, I’m “comfortably” ensconsed in my flat with a pile of DVD’s, books and comics which is awesome, but my laptop battery is almost flat, and I can’t reach the plug!
DAMMIT!
Well, I won’t be doing any 4 mile runs for a while (hell, I’ve NEVER run four miles). heh heh
I am, however, feeling much better now that I’ve started a course of antibiotics. Still hacking up a lung every few minutes, though, which is why I went ahead and excused myself from the faculty meeting this afternoon (I was trying to be better at attending those this semester too, but here comes the first one and BAM!, I’m sick as a dog).
Funny thing about this bronchitis: Elena thinks it’s HILARIOUS when I cough. She’ll start her “angry baby” growl because she thinks that’s the sound I’m making when I’m just trying to breathe and not pass out. heh heh, kids!
Did Elena wake up because she’s sick too?
Nah. She woke up cause she was hungry. Went to bed early last night, which meant she got up at 5:15 this morning. My wife went to sleep downstairs so I wouldn’t keep her up with my hacking so I thought I’d be nice and let her sleep till 6:00, so I kept the little one with me till then.
Elena was sick last week, though, but she’s on the mend.
Well congratulations, TNM! I know that you’ve been very uncomfortable so I hope this will mean a much more pain free life from now on. Enjoy those DVD’s, comics and books. We’ll still be here for you when your laptop is plugged in!
I think I might be slightly addicted to the internet y’know, I was grumpy all afternoon without it.
Maury isn’t as much fun when you can’t google up the people on it.
Still, addicted to the internet’s not bad, 2 years ago? Opium… Not really, but i felt like busting out a bit of Bill Hicks.
I’m on a lot of painkillers, so I’m disconnected a tad, can’t notice at all eh?
(I’m stuck in a weasel factory, send help)
Glad to hear that the baby isn’t sick.
No one cares if you’re sick, you’re just the dad.
I’m sure you know by now where you fall in the pecking order. 
So my wife was dropping our daughter’s friend at their house and their dog, which is normally locked up, ran up and bit my wife on the wrist. She’s fine and everything. Cleaned up the wound and although she didn’t want to call the doctor I insisted she so. Doctor says she need to come into the ER and have it looked at. The dog’s shots are all up to date and everything. But apparently any dog bite needs to get reported.
Oh, and just so I’m on the safe side, please let me know if you can recommend any good movies or websites on the subject of lycantrophy.:eek:
Thanks.
I hear this whole Underworld: Rise of the Lycans might actually be pretty good. If anything, it might give Mrs. Thotfulguy ideas on how to get her revenge.
Heh. I would just plan a movie night. Candles, popcorn, a warm down comforter to share, and then:
“I was a Teenage Werewolf”, “Abott and Costello Meet the Werewolf”, “Teen Werewolf”, etc.
Thanks Armando. Do you think I should become a vampire, just so I’ll be evenly matched?
Good advice. Now, lets talk about silver bullets, shall we? Do I need bullets made of pure silver? Or can I take regular bullets and coat them with a silver coating?
Also, can anyone help me out with a full moon calender, etc?
Just avoid Teenwolf Too. Pre-Arrested Development Jason Bateman taking over Michael J. Fox’s leftovers: EWWWW! The wife may exact her revenge on you if you watch that one. 
In which case, yes, I’d recommend you undertake a full course of vampirism. (Throw in some cannibalism while you’re at it…)
She just called from her cell, she’s on her way home from the doctor’s now–stopping first to pick up an antibiotic perscription.
I’ve been practicing my line, ala Rise of the Lycans, for when she gets home: “You have defied me for the last time.”
I’ve had 15 hours of sleep so far this week. My engineering group and I wrote a 15 page paper last night, and my brain is completely fried. I need sleep.
It was 46.4 degrees C here today. Melbourne’s hottest ever day. Couldn’t go out, and now I can’t sleep because the bricks in my flat are so hot.
For the unenlightened, that’s 115.5 F
That’s ingenious! Imagine the money you’d save
