Red-Handed Jill Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm still trying to figure out how I feel right now. I just found out my grandmother died yesterday. The thing is, she was pure, unadulterated EVIL. So the world is a better place with her out of it. If she was in a movie, her death scene would prompt much cheering and applause - really. I suppose I'm still stunned that it finally happened after all these years; I am not sentimental in the least about family, so that's not a factor. My mum and I do have a standing appointment to dance on her grave, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yikes! At this moment, I guess I'm feeling grateful that I'm not the only one with disfunctional family members.

Christine Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Christine lass...it's flu shot season..mayhaps ye should get one. Fell better Actually, I've been hearing how flu shots are really not a good idea. You get injected with a small strain of the flu and some people can't handle that. Some have got sick from it and yes, some have died from it. I decided I would just steer clear of that. Besides, this is just cold symptoms. The over the counter stuff has been helping. No more sore throat, the clogged feeling only happens at night, I got it under control. I've learned not to take Vick's Dayquil, oh, geez! Yeah, it cleared me up, but made me so dizzy, it was scary! I thought I was going to pass out. Nope, not going to use that one again! Thanks BriarRose, I should look into that zicam. As long as it works and doesn't make me dizzy I'm all for it.

My mum and I do have a standing appointment to dance on her grave, though. I had a relation such as yours recently passed. The family was apalled when I asked were the champagne was in celebration, then tsked at them all and said I was only saying what they were afraid to...Wretched individual that one was.

BriarRose Kildare Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Aye be careful on dancing on the grave....although I did see a movie a long time ago where the family members all took turns pissing on the person's grave. However, perhaps you should just have a drink over her grave as good ridance. ?? (If you are wondering about grave dancing...it is very taboo, and the person supposedly comes back to haunt ya. Oh and if you find that she is just too ornery to move on well I can help you with that so don't hesitate to ask.) You did make me laugh cause there is one person left in the family that a lot of the relations would throw a party at her death...not a wake, but a party in celebration for the person finally taking the voyage to the other side. Now me father's family...well they know how to have an honest Irish wake.

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 We had an earthquake earlier tonight - 5.6 and it lasted quite awhile. A few TO7S folks were at Jack's and my place rehearsing for a gig when it hit. Nothing fell down at our place, even though we are on landfill; got pretty exciting for awhile, though. Wow - first my evil grandmother dies, then a medium-sized earthquake. It's been a pretty eventful day for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Alexander Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Really excited about tomorrow. We had an awsome opening night with much screaming and laughter. Music to my ears. I just hope 100 lbs of candy will be enough. I wish you could be here Syren, feel better soon. My back still really hurts but the adrenaline rush and vicodin is keeping the pain at bay and I'm finished with the steroid treatments. So that's a good thing. Can we start a dysfunctional family club? I hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Christine Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well, I don't have a sore throat and I'm not clogged, but I don't have much of a voice. Yesterday it was only half there, but this morning I woke up and could barely talk at all. Ugh! I called my work and said I'd have to come in later, when the phones die down. I can't really talk clearly to answer the phone. I've been drinking lots of water, had some hot tea with lemon and even sprayed my throat with the throat spray. This sucks!

BriarRose Kildare Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Ah, Christine I am sorry you are still under the weather. If you have a Walmart near by try and get some tea tree oil. Place 5 to 6 drops in a glass of warm water and gargle. The best thing you can do though is try not to talk or strain your voice. Hope you feel bette soon. As for me, I am tired...and Happy and Excited...looking forward to the weekend.

captjacksparrowsavvvy Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Aye Christine, lots of liquids and rest if possible(rest, what is that?)keeping the throat moist by cough drops or even hard candies...just to keep the juices flowing and try Airborne as well which is also at WalMart(yes, I confess, I live in WalMart)...and use Clorox wipes on phones, handles, microphones, door handles...and of course keep the pump sanitizer on your desk. As long as it's 62 percent alcohol, it will kill most germs. Clorox wipes kill Mrsa, E Coli and a flu virus(don't remember which one) but Mrsa is a serious concern now. Yes, it's been with us for years but all of a sudden it is hitting the schools and it has killed one child. I work with kids so we have a ritual now of wiping down all the handles in each class room. Ah, stay home and watch pirate movies all day. Especially the one with that Geoffrey fella ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprayed my throat and then just slept for the most of the day before going to work in the late afternoon. That seemed to have helped a lot. I still tho have a cough that keeps holding on, ugh! I wish I could have stayed home, but it's still all good. And getting that letter from Geoffrey Rush today really made my day! Woo-hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
