All this talk of pnuemonia and bronchitis is making me wonder if I'm getting sick. - mara Nov 3, 07:19 10
- bronchitis isn't so bad if it's bacterial. Viral is a boitch. last time I had it, took 5 months to go away. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:20 9
  - You can usually kick bronchitis yourself until it's viral. I normally getit once a year and kick it on my own. Stay home for two days, do nothing &... - lileve Nov 3, 07:25 3
    - usually if I get it, it is bad and lasts for months. would much rather have bacterial, then I can kick it in a week with antibiotics. - loosilu Nov 3, 07:27 2
      - I don't bother with the antibiotics. I went after three weeks sick to the doctor and he said I had waited I could kick it myself. So now I don't... - lileve Nov 3, 07:31 1
        
        if you have a bacteria infection, that is not necessarily a good thing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:33

    - Yes. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:24 3

        viral? yes.. if it's accute bronchitus it is. if it's a result of chronic bronchitus developing accute, then no. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:26 1

        The Target Lady skit becomes funnier the more I think about it... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:28
        
        I didn't see the whole show (came in on the Olbermann piece and huffposted the cold open) but I agree - it seemed like a strong night. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:21

- Better get your guns now... - lileve Nov 3, 07:09 8
  - well, GA won't be going that way too fast. i'm okay with stricter laws, just not adding taxes like i'm a smoker :-P -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:11 7
    - More than likely, it won't be happening either way, at least not in the next year. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:13 6
      - true. it's a popular topic, but i don't think many people are really wanting serious change... - colin Nov 3, 07:15 5
        
        Better enforcement of the current laws then making new ones is what is needed. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:18 4
        
        and how, precisely, do we go about doing that, when the NRA has resisted any attempt to provide for the regulatory tools that would allow existing law - znufrii Nov 3, 07:21 2
        
        No clue but new laws are going to have that same problem. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:33 1
        
        I don't think we need new laws, just better ones. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 07:37
        
        eh, it's easier to pass new ones than enforce the old ;) - colin Nov 3, 07:20

      - [deleted] 2
        
        I've found can only play it in small doses. It's quite hard and nerve racking -- nm - decline Nov 3, 07:22 1
        
        very nerve racking...in the sense that I was freaking the f out at almost every turn! nm - Jovian Nov 3, 07:29

  - The Corollary is McCain waking up going, "I WON?" - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:11
  - Has nothing to do with whether people soil themselves 11 times in the next 2 days or not. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 07:09
  - this honestly wouldn't surprise me. or that it's tied up in the courts. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 07:08
- [deleted]
I keep debating whether I really want to do this, but this honestly baffles me. SS, what is your problem? There are plenty of reasons why we're here - mara Nov 3, 07:01 30
- [deleted]
- I like that we can pretty much say what we want. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:06
- Those I enjoy listening to are here. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:05 17

        the GJosh-dude has bordered on fraskal-type racism/ignorance for a while now. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 07:24 3
        
        i know who he is... the reactions were so out of left field though. - colin Nov 3, 07:30
        
        Yeah, which is why telling him to go off himself would actually be better used for a point when he's actually being Fraskal-like. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:29
        
        Still in no way warrants that type of reaction. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:28
      - ARGGHHH! I know I started the thread, but I didn't start the fight! -- nm - amoxy Nov 3, 07:12 2
        
        Sorry, bud. It was just a place to start reading. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:15 1
        
        and also highlights how fairly absurd the instant reactions were. -- (link) - TFox Nov 3, 07:18 [Backboard]
      - Don Homer went to a really special place in that thread. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 07:10 3
        
        it's not uncommon. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:12 2
        
        Some degree of it, but that one had a unique level of "wtf" in it. At least for me. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 07:13 1
        
        if you're on the receiving end of it, there's a lot of WTF. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:14
      - oh that. I thought he meant on TT. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:09 1
        
        Nothing interesting is happening on TT, beyond the snark already alluded to. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:16
- this is easier, therefore I'm staying. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:04
- His crazy has gone all the way to 11 since Beta hit. He has become the "leave Britney alone!" dude. For a website. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 07:03 1
  - the leoprad don't change its spots....nm - x Nov 3, 07:24
- i'm tired of bouncing all over. i like it here, the people i want to converse with are here. why wouldn't i be ... here? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 07:02 1
  - What Andie said goes for me, as well. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 07:11
- I am not changing back becuase they are going to fuck it up again when they feel Beta is bug free. I would just rather stay here than hop all over. -- nm - Redmond Nov 3, 07:02 4
  - I would call myself loyal to HSX in the same way I'm loyal to Target. - JaxSean Nov 3, 07:15 3
    - Riiiight, like you'd stop going there if there was a dance club. *does the Electric Slide* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:19 1

    - Well said. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:17
Logan was up at 4 am today. We started trying to "condition" him to the time change on Thursday--but all he does is cry. - Amy Nov 3, 07:00 5
- No *wonder* you hate DST. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 07:05 1
  - I thought he was getting it Saturday night. I was wrong. Last year it was so easy. But at almost 2 it's a whole new ball game. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 07:09
- Sorry to have been snarky opn B2. That sounds crappy for you guys. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:03 2
  - Well, "I hate standard time" sounds like I just hate "time". :) -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 07:14 1
    - You hate time changes, and understandably so. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:17

      - Yes, I hope so. Our friends didn't outright say they'll lend us the Season 1 DVD, but it'd be cruel not to. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:17
    - didn't know, sheesh...where's moose to snicker at me? -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:11
- Watched ^ -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 06:58
Come on ST Techies: the Flip Ultra. Looking for something easy and...easy. Good, bad, indifferent... -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 06:57 7
- I love my Canon FS-100. A little more than a Flip, but super light barrel style that fits great in your palm and takes great video - kilboooo Nov 3, 07:14
- thanks everyone -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 07:12
- Is that the mini-video camera dealio? Wired this month rated the new Kodak one much better. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 3, 07:07
