Good morning old-gray
Returning to school here to teach some children. It has been a long weekend due to the tornado damage here in Jackson, TN. A lot of devastation went on.

Hi Jeff
been watching the storm damage on tv. was terrible..
hope that you and your neighborhood were safe.
We had a simular situation about 15 yrs ago when a storm destroyed everything in a path 4 miles wide and 20 miles long. Then skipped about 40 miles and did almost the same thing.
About 75 people killed... so I know a little about what happened... and I pray for those that went through such a disaster. It is a life changing situation.
Glad to see that you are helping the children.

I saw one of the students that was in the hospital, on tv, and he was telling of how he and several of his dorm-mates got out of a destroyed building. The scenes that were shown on tv of the destruction was unbelievable. Especially, where someone found an infant lying in the mud, with the houses around completely gone, and the infant only had a minor scratch on its face. The parents were dead...
The storm passed here, but was only a slight wind with about 1/10 inch of rain. It seemed that it could not have been the same storm... but I guess the mountains took some of the force from it..
will be praying for you, my friend...

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a week
Me & Liz were in DC for another Convention
This one was at the Omni Shoreham, one Sweet hotel!
Course it cost me a lot too, $682.42 for just the room
But it was worth it!

Very nice of the gf to bring home a bug.  Man, coughing like there's no tomorrow, itchy watery eyes etc. Now I'm shivering with my winter coat on and it's 70 in my room. Actually it's not that bad, just very annoying so far. I can't even remember the last time I was sick.

Thanks Bob, the buggers not leaving, not yet anyways. I'm going to make some homemade chicken soup tomorrow, I need something light to eat and this seems to fit the bill along with some crusty bread, should hit the spot nicely as I've been on a two day fast.

went through basically the same thing about 10 weeks ago... nothing to eat for three days and about a cup of water. Chicken soup and toast was all that I could eat for about three days afterwards. Still took a trip to the Dr. to get some anti-biotics to finish it.
Hope yours goes away quicker than mine...
take care

Well, anti-biotics don't work on virii, only on opportunistic bacteria that may invede when immube system is down. I really hope this won't take 10 days!  I ain't a young 'un anymore.
