Thanks H ..yeah we had our Thanksgiving day in Canada yesterday, I spent it eating licorice Twizzlers and drinking cold beer with my brother and my family, while watching Pakis catch fire in riots. I was thankful for many things.

Hello Wax, how is it goin? we spent a long night on Friday tending to my son who said he felt kind of crappy and had a temperature of 107.4 and climing, so we had him in a tepid bath and taking Tylenol to try to bring his temp down, but it only seemed to make it go higher ..then around 1:30 A.M. when it was up to 109.F we tested the thermometer and found we all had temperatures of 109.F..a broken thermometer...nevermind.

That seems like a close call. I smell a law suit.

Jeez.

Chewing Wax:

(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:25:23 am)
Decoy:
I feel like shit. Its probably taking my temperature from 2000 miles away. Too much yelling and carrying on at the football game I suspect.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:33:26 am)
Decoy:
Thanksgiving, that reminds me, I'm hungry. m, did you think it was anthrax, even for a moment?
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:35:30 am)
Rush:
Eh, What's that? What?
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:38:38 am)
Chewing Wax:
I heard everyone who was at the Bills game feels like shit. I knew that crop duster over the stadium was up to no good.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:40:39 am)
Chewing Wax:
Or maybe it was just the game.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:41:03 am)
Decoy:
Poor Rush. Yeah, I think I'll read up on the anthrax indications.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:45:05 am)
Decoy:
I guess that not it:
Early diagnosis of inhalational anthrax would be difficult and would require a high index of suspicion. Clinical information is available from only some of the 18 cases reported in the United States in this century and from the limited available information from Sverdlovsk. The clinical presentation has been described as a 2-stage illness. Patients first developed a spectrum of nonspecific symptoms, including fever, dyspnea, cough, headache, vomiting, chills, weakness, abdominal pain, and chest pain. Signs of illness and laboratory studies were nonspecific. This stage of illness lasted from hours to a few days. In some patients, a brief period of apparent recovery followed. Other patients progressed directly to the second, fulminant stage of illness.
This second stage developed abruptly, with sudden fever, dyspnea, diaphoresis, and shock. Massive lymphadenopathy and expansion of the mediastinum led to stridor in some cases. A chest radiograph most often showed a widened mediastinum consistent with lymphadenopathy. Up to half of patients developed hemorrhagic meningitis with concomitant meningismus, delirium, and obtundation. In this second stage of illness, cyanosis and hypotension progress rapidly; death sometimes occurs within hours.

Chewing Wax:
I think that's me. Only I don't have a fever, headache, vomiting, chills, weakness, abdominal pain or chest pain. I'm not sure what dyspnea is. I might have that. I have sniffles and a productive cough.

Sleepy:
I have blocked ears.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:53:51 am)
Chewing Wax:
uh oh
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:54:46 am)
Chewing Wax:
Can you hear me?
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:54:56 am)
Decoy:
It think that's hard breathing. I have the chills, runny nose, and a sore throat.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:55:28 am)
Decoy:
What?
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:56:08 am)
Chewing Wax:
Nothing like knocking down your immune system with a quart of tequila and then sitting out in the wind rain and snow for six hours. That's good thinking.

Fucking babies. I' m the one who has to ride the subway to Times Squ everyday. This guy in the park this morning who has this old greyhound named Kevin was going on about how this is just a small test of anthrax and how a huge onslaught is coming, most likely in the NYC subway. I like this guy, hes hot. Then he says hes' supposed to go to Denver and S. Africa for vacation with his wife but now he doesn't want to go. Oh well, what can you do. That OBL is a rabid dog and needs to be put down.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:56:53 am)
Decoy:
Well, it was fun.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:57:10 am)
Chewing Wax:
The dog is named Kevin?
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:58:02 am)
bela:
Then he yelled at Kevin, he said "Kevin, stop doing that weird alien looking thing where you show your teeth". Poor Kevin, hes a 20 year old grumpy retired racing greyhound. ONe of the big ones.

Chewing Wax:
Fun fun fun. I'd do it again.

I think we're all suffering from "desire to live in a peaceful and fear-free world syndrome". A lot of people have come down with that.
(Tue Oct 9, 2001 - 10:59:05 am)
Decoy:
Don't forget the "desire to be rich and hegemonous in a fear free world." Cough.
