Mine too. My wife got me a coffee grinder for my birthday, and it fell out of the cabinet onto the floor and broke on Monday. Grrr.

I've been up since 5:30. I got almost 6 hours of sleep, which is fantastic for me these days. I'm finally starting to get over this cold/flu combo from hell, which is pretty common around here right now. The worst part has been the headache/ jaw ache, with the fever close behind. The local doctors are saying it takes 2-3 weeks for adults to get over it. Joy. Sleep (which I can't seem to get) and warm baths help the most.

I think if my coffee grinder fell on the floor, more likely the tile would break. The coffee grinder would be fine, it's cast iron.

Screw Nyquil! Alchol & Sominex! Motrin for aches & pain.

It's mostly ibuprofen and benadryl (to sleep) at this point.
treebait

OK. Pop two Benadryls, yes? Sominex is the same drug as Benadryl but twice as strong.
bearmagnet
10:44:37 AM

I did a price comparison; it's still cheaper to buy the store brand version of benadryl in a 100 capsule bottle than a blister package of the same stuff, at a higher dosage, for sleep. About $1.03 difference around here.
treebait

800mg motrin and a 12-hour chlortrimeton does the trick for me.

One of the nice things about chemo and radiation is you never get colds or the flu..or at least I haven't and that's been 4 years!...
...anyway, my drug of choice when I was sick was Theraflu...the original, not generic...somehow, it worked wonders...

mataharihiker - Melbourne is about 2.5 hours south of Jacksonville between I-95 and the Atlantic Ocean.(SE of Orlando and about 1,635.92 miles SE of White Bear Lake, Minnesota) The patchy fog should clear about 9 A.M., giving way to sunny skys for a few hours followed by clouds drifting over from St. Cloud!

Good Morning hugs from Lower Alabam.... Mobile is getting ready for the weekend and all the Mardi Gras activity....they said 40,000 people went to the Tuesday parade....if that many came on Tuesday...what will the weekend look like????....not many hotel rooms and if you can find one, it will cost you 3-4 times more than normal....I should rent my floor out!!!!

Have a great time Divinity! I've always wanted to do Mardi Gras. Hopefully the festivities won't get in the way of normal life if that's what you prefer.

I need to pack today, run errands, and clean the house up a bit for the dogsitter. Here we come Chicago!! I can't wait to see Dhutch!

Hey Spalpeen and Matahari hiker: I'm in Atlantic Beach, part of Jacksonville/ aka incorporated Duval county.
