I'm Dying.

Posted 01-10-2011 at 09:05 AM by OddjobAbe

Or at least it fucking feels like it. The first significant event of the year has occured - I've caught a cold. I'm snotty, my ear is congested, and my cognitive faculties have been put out of action. The shop's run out of the good Beechams, so I'm stuck with the tablets (which I don't find as effective), and I can't eat without my congested ear throbbing with every bite. Feel free to take the piss out of me while I'm incapacitated, you able-bodied little sadists.

In other news, I've just finished looking at a book with lots of pictures of mountains and agricultural scenery that I was given for Christmas. I'm afraid that my state has rendered me too much of a simpleton to do any proper reading at the moment.

	: You friggin made my heart beat fast when I read that title x_x Jeez... I should stop taking titles at face value. Well, I might well be dying. Forgive me for revealing so, but I'm certainly pissing like I've got cancer. EDIT: I'm sure I didn't have to press "post" twice before it went through. Has it finally been fixed?

	I really wish people wouldn't joke about dying.

	I could have dragged it out like Mac Sirloin. What I did there was nothing.

	Stop being snotty.

	You've been dying since you were 25. Just thought you should know.

	You've been dying since birth. Just thought you should know.

	That's bullshit, your body only starts to deteriorate after you stop growing? How can you both grow and die at the same time? GOD NIKKI

	Whore!

	Every day is a day closer to... the END

	Philosophically we're all dying. Biologically only OANST, Pilot, Oddjobabe and Nate are.

	Phylosophically, that's what I meant.... <.<

	I can assure everyone that your body and mind start deteriorating from age 20. In fact I'm sure I went over the hill at 13.

	I hope my mind is deteriorating. That means I'll be happier.

A guy I work with got sick over the course of Christmas, along with his wife. They caught a cold from what this guy described as "My brother's shitty little kids."

His wife is currently in intensive care in Toronto because she mixed Tylenol or Advil or Ibuprofen with Nyquil for two weeks. Liver failure.

So don't do that.

Anyway, get some citrus in you, drink water, rest a bunch and you'll be at full speed soon enough.

I would be very interested to discover what possessed her to do that. Usually when I get sick, a few glasses of orange juice and a bit of Beechams does the trick. Anything else would be superfluous.

That's damn right. My health tends to rejuvenate in days if I stick to a good glass of orange. Fantastic stuff.

	I always make a concoction of just-squeezed Lime juice, Lemon juice and Orange Juice, then give it some pure Cranberry juice (the unsweetened stuff) to even things out. It's both a nightmare and a dream come true.
	Posted 01-10-2011 at 04:28 PM by Mac Sirloin

	I might give that a try at some stage, if only to see how it tastes.
	Posted 01-10-2011 at 04:59 PM by OddjobAbe

	I won't patronize you by expelling the science behind it, but the cranberry juice is key. I think. Also, I don't really have any measurements. You just ingest a shitload of vitamin C and let the Cranberry cleanse you. You could probably mix in some kind of generic fruit juice to make it a bit less 'A gigantic cup of sour and citrus'.

	Weird, I've probably mixed tylenol and nyquil before, but not for two weeks. Hope you get better Oddjob.

	get well, you old bastard. at least you haven't got speedy shit, eh?
	Posted 01-10-2011 at 11:04 PM by MA

	That's certainly one consolation.
	Posted 01-11-2011 at 01:04 AM by OddjobAbe

	I was under the impression that males reach their "peak" at 25 - therefore surely deterioration would commence after 25? Alcar...
