One Flu Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

Share article:

Guess what I got for Xmas? Yup, got slammed by the flu on XMas weekend, just to make sure I had extra fun this year. Well, I’ve taken the hint, and have been standing down, way down, lying down, in fact, for several days, and may continue to do so, unless the world stops revolving without me.

Guest bloggers, as usual, will save the day…until I feel up to doing so myself again…Please pardon my absence until then…Much to catch up on, but it’ll have to wait for now. You — and I, both — will thank me later.

    I managed to catch a nasty cold on Saturday. Just flop on the couch Brad and turn on Hogans Heroes re-runs. If you don’t think about how Cheney would have run the camp if he’d been Col. Klink you should be able to get some needed sleep.

    Hey Brad, sorry to hear your under the whatever. A couple of tablespoons of colloidal silver with a tall glass of water or juice a couple of times a day for a couple-few days, knocks the shit out of most anything! But don’t over do it and turn blue like some guy did taking too much over an extended period. Too much of a good thing just as bad as not enough!:-)

    you will never live down the truth that you are full of shit.

    Brad,

    Man-up! After you’ve taken a few days of well-deserved rest, that is.

    Happy New Year, and thanks for your great work in 2008. We need you!

    Your pal,

    Me too Brad. Got the flu for Christmas. Still a bit sick today even and it’s the 30th. I got my flu shot too. Bummer, they stuck us with the wrong strain this year. What do you expect for this administration? SURE they would use up the old stuff from last year first huh? They don’t realize it’s a new strain every year.

    Anyway, I consider Karma wants me to rest and not talk too much on the net for now.

    Get well Brad. I send my best wishes for a Happy New Year.

    Me.

    The body’s first line of defense is food…an ours seems to be corporately fucked at the moment.
