^{can anyone explain what that silly phrase means?}

So I'm crawling out of my pitiful nest to wave a weak hand at my OS friends. I have to say, there's nothing like a really nasty bout of the flu to humble you big time. Germs, meet Caroline. Go to town and beat her up big time, wouldja? Thanks bunches -- really appreciate it.

To add insult to injury, I got a call from the mammography clinic yesterday asking me to come back for MORE squeezing fun. Oh joy, oh bliss. Of course they don't tell you WHY they want you to come back, such as if there was just a blur in the film or something. No, it just means more vice-like fun and an additional week of waiting for new results. I need a jumbo bottle of Ativan, I think.

Anyhoo, this is really just meant to be a quick note to my peeps to say I'm alive, I miss you all, and I'll be back here pestering you with my silly comments in no time flat.

Until then, behave.

me, too (the flu, not the mammogram). I didn't think I had so much in my body that could hurt. But it does, every damned cell.

let's feel better soon.

Poor thing . . . I do hope tomorrow holds more promise than today and you feel much, much better. More squeezing . . . ouch

Hi. So sorry you caught the flu. Not nice. I'm assuming you did not get your flu shot. Don't forget for next year!
Take some echinacea goldenseal compound. It really helps to chase that bug away.

Oh you poor thing - I'm just getting over it myself. Just try to not attempt to do too much when you start to feel better or you'll land right back in it again. Feel better soon!

Rest up, take care, and tea, water, or whatever you like to drink.

What a huge drag to have the flu now!! So sorry.

Been thinking of you-

Glad you're alive. Feel better soon.

Consider giving the flu to everyone at the mammogram clinic. That ought to make you feel marginally better. (Just kidding, health-care workers.)

Glad you're still kickin'. Thanks for checking in, my thoughts have gone to you several times in the last few days. I hope you cast out that flu quickly. And tell the ghouls in mammography I said they better have gotten it right this time!
Miss you, feel lots better soon...

Vitamin C and lots of water. Feel better soon!

Oh man :( the flu sucks. Colds are easy compared to the flu. I hope you have enough time off to get better, soup at the house and tea (and Gatorade...do they have Gatorade in Canada?- if no, then Pedialyte or something to help with hydration and electrolytes) Poor baby.
