Ever wonder what happens when a 60 ton concrete beam falls 16 feet down on your pick-um-up-truck?

  Mustn't have been a Ford F150 Pickup truck, because according to the commercials, it would have been able to handle something like that and driven it to El Paso.  Now i"m out.

[SLY]

Back home feeling like crap and pissed off too now.

So, almost back to normal then... 

2 days of hell since I got home.

Did you catch the crud, or is it just the warden?

Pine pollen while traveling, hit me in Mississippi and got worse all week, then hit with oak pollen here, about to kill me.

Yep, that's the crud. You takin' Zyrtec or something?

Nah, he's just grumping it out...

Guess that's why I had to ask... couldn't tell a difference.  jk

That sh!t can really clog the sinus'. Gives me migraines. Not pleasant at all.

BYS & TR, thanks for posting ... you're pinpointing what I'm going through ... been dealing with something like a cold for the last week or so, but last night my joints and muscles around them ached like I had just done a 3 day move.  Took a couple ibuprofen, then went back to bed, woke up having a hard time breathing ... tried to bear with it, finally got up, took a couple puffs of an inhaler and took a Zyrtec D (which usually clears things up in 20 minutes or so), but I did not get the relief I needed in a reasonable length of time, so I took backup antibiotics and prednisone (I hate taking medications unless it's absolutely necessary) ... threw in the towel because the alternative was not being able to catch my breath.  5 or 6 hours later, I'm somewhat better, but not out running a mile.  I think I'll take a cue from TR and spend some time in bed under the covers, I missed a lot of sleep last night, but hate to miss the beautiful day outside, temps have gone from 50 to 74 in just a few hours.  P.S. Had a Casa Magna Colorado corona gorda last evening, followed by an RP Honduran (FSS blue label) maduro, then a San Miguel.  CM was a little too strong for the robust RB microbrews I was drinking ... big clash there ... I think I prefer the natural to the maduro in the RP Honduran line.  The San Miguel was the best in pairing.  Think I'll be dialed way back tonight.  Still want to see some good NCAA basketball. /// Sorry, somehow my post landed in the middle of the thread, rather that at the end ... hopefully this modifies it correctly.

It's just crazy as hell, start feeling half decent for a while then all of a sudden it hits me again.  5 blankets now and shivering from head to toe with a dry terrible cough

Sorry to hear about it, TR.  I feel for you, brutha ... no fun at all ... especially the prospect of maybe (shudder) having to give up cigars and booze for awhile, even temporarily. Huzzah!  Hope you feel better soon!!!

Thanks Sly, have not had a cigar in a week but plenty of weekend booze so don't need that for a while.  This stuff is nasty, so cold my fingertips are numb.    Hope yours is on the mend!   I will go to the dr tomorrow if there is not some improvement.   Probably just need an enema administered by a beautiful 22 year old nurse

Hah, don't you wish!

It is pointed north but some Mexican will turn it around and head to the border in it tonight.

"major" building collapse in NYC East Village.  Combination residential/commercial.  Big fire too.

I'm on the west side about 20 blocks north, and 10 or so Avenues west

Name is the Alpine building.

That's pretty fucked up... I'm reading this and then they make an announcement in my building that there was an incident downtown and we're not affected by it.  I've never heard such an announcement made before.  It was kinda ominous.  Glad I had already gotten my news here.

what time were you leaving, I've got cigars for you?
got to go to computer room, give me a text when you know.

I honestly don't know.  I have to get on a conference call in 8 minutes.

Flip! Seriously, I thought you left. If you're waiting for Tony to decide something... you're gonna burn, damnit!

Fuckin' Aye!  That sucked.  Just got off the phone.

Yep, I think it started as allergy but something has gotten infected now.  Dr in the morning unless something miraculous happens.
