YEAH! KtrevaÂ’s home! She can take over dealing with the screaming sick boy! Oh, and she brought me home a bottle of Jack DanielÂ’s too.

Yea, there is a reason I married here.

Clone has steadily been getting worse through out the day. He seemed okay this morning, but as the day went on, the grouchier he became. He complained he didnÂ’t feel good and that his cheek and tummy hurt. I feel bad for the poor guy. ThereÂ’s not a lot of anything I can do. HeÂ’s been getting his medication on schedule, but I donÂ’t know if thatÂ’s helping any.

HeÂ’s lying on the couch crying right now. I wish there was something/anything I could do to comfort him, but nothing I do seems to work. For most of the day IÂ’ve sat on the couch with him watching movies and TV. WeÂ’ve seen Curious George and Cars, along with various Nickelodeon cartoons.

To all of you stay home mothers out there, are the kids cartoons this bad all the time? IÂ’m just wondering, because these were even more stupid then I normally find kids cartoons.

IÂ’ve tried getting Clone to take a nap, but he wonÂ’t. IÂ’ve even tried laying down and taking a nap with him. A nap could do me good today, but even with that he wouldnÂ’t go to sleep. I just donÂ’t know, itÂ’s hard to see your kids feeling bad and not able to do anything about it.

1 I *hate* Rx antibiotics - they're often some pretty harsh stuff.

Since he's so advanced in his symptoms, it's almost closing the barn door after the horse is out, but you might shorten the length of his suffering this way...

If you have a nutritionist (health food) store nearby, grab some Olive Leaf Extract. Sublingual is probably faster-acting (especially if it's difficult to swallow pills) but the taste will probably make him hurl. You'd definitely only trick him ONCE! (Even I won't take the liquid - blecch!)

For the pinkeye and earache, I'd recommend Colloidal Silver - topical. The two working together ought to put the little guy straight in no time (OLE will help the external conditions as well).

I'm not a granola-nuts-twigs-and-bark kinda guy - but someone turned me onto these two in my darkest hours of suffering a few years ago. I've been sold on 'em ever since... Skeptical? Good. Do the research yourself!

I will say that since Mrs. Who spends her days with little rugrat-vectors, she tends to bring a lot of crap home with her. I used to get sick whenever there was an outbreak in her classroom. Now, whenever I'm aware that I've been around someone who is sick, or if I feel like I *may* be coming down with something, or if I'm in a situation like, say, being stuck in an AIRPLANE full of coughing idiots - I take Olive Leaf, and maybe spray my eyes, throat and sinuses with Colloidal Silver. It saves me from getting sick nearly every time.

(I even tried c.silver internally when I got food poisoning one time - I was fine in no time at all. Internal use of colloidal silver is a bit more dodgy, however.)

For cold symptoms, I've tried Zinc with little or no overall 'dramatic' success. Of course combined with vitamins C and E it's better, but still not as effective as olive leaf and silver...

Mrs. Who used to be skeptical - now she's hooked on my "voodoo" too!

IÂ’m home from work today. Clone is a sick boy. It started out with him getting sick Tuesday night. On Valentines day morning Ktreva had to stay home with him as he was feeling not well at all and had a temp. When I got home from work on Wednesday Ktreva tells me Clone also has Pink Eye. GreatÂ… Well he canÂ’t go to daycare with pink eye so Ktreva stays home with him again yesterday.

When I got out of a meeting at work, there was a message for me in my voicemail. Ktreva was able to get Clone in to see our family doctor. He told her that Clone has an upper respiratory infection AND an ear infection on top of everything else.

Yea, this could be a fun day.

2 I recommend medicating heavily with Jack Daniels.

Um, YOU, not Clone!

3 No, for Clone, I recommend Ouzo. Tastes like Nyquil, only not as syrupy and a tad stronger.

Ktreva has been telling me for years I need to start watching what I eat. Not because I’m a fat bastard, but because of various health reasons… including my still undiagnosed medical condition. (Yea, I’m loving doctors). I’ve heard her say on occasion, “You can’t eat the crap you did when you were younger anymore.” She’s worried I’ll have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or some funky self-digesting disease. Er, um, scratch that last one.

Anyway I’m starting to think she may be right. When I was younger I could spend a weekend eating chips and salsa, drinking beer, and hitting some fast food joint for a middle of the night feast. I’d wake up the next morning and be just fine. This weekend I think she has her empirical evidence that she was right, unlike those Global Warming scientists. (Bastiches! It’s –15 when I left for work with a –30 windchill!).

It all started Friday night. I had Pizza and Beer for dinner, which was followed on Saturday with more pizza, pizza rolls, chips, beer and Scotch. On Sunday I had Beer, pickled herring, lilÂ’smokies in hot n spicy Bar-b-que sauce, deviled eggs, boneless hot wings, chips, and some pumpkin dipÂ… oh and beer. Monday I headed back over to help finish off the keg and the leftovers from the Super Bowl. That night on the way home I stopped and got me a baby head sized burrito.

Today I the most foul human on the face of the earth, it feels like my colon is trying to squirt all of my insides out. Fortunately, itÂ’s all the consistency of applesauce so it doesnÂ’t hurt too badly. IÂ’ve had to use the restroom at work no less then four times. Each time there was at least one other man in there. Each time I heard a statement of exclamation over the horrid scent.

I would have enjoyed it more if it werenÂ’t for the fact that my arse was on fire.

1 Thanks for the warning. Be sure to light the candle when you use the facilities at home so the smell doesn't whaft down the stairs like LAST time.

2 TMI... really it is. But I'm very glad you're pointing out the evil Global Warming scientists. *grin*

BTW - even when I was young and foolish, that much food would have killed me before it ever made its way through my system... I'm just sayin'

4 It doesn't count if you don't make someone cry in the bathroom.
