So I'm driving this morning to get a chest x-ray taken because I can't shake this bronchitis. It's rained for three days straight, streets are flooded, houses are falling off hills, people are in a panic. It was drizzling just a bit this morning after days of downpours. So I look off to the side of the 73 freeway and guess what I see?

The fucking sprinklers are on!!! Yes, the sprinklers were on!!! Unreal.

In unrelated news, someone from San Jose, CA won a snowblower on "The Price Is Right."

Back to the couch. Naptime.

The 73 is in South OC - they can afford to water for no reason. Get some cough syrup with codiene and twelver you'll be good to go.

snowblower in San Jose :Spin:

Couch you bastard I'm at work - slaving away and posting.
 
And another thing...my doctor prescribed a medication called Avelox. One pill a day for seven days. Guess how much it cost me? FORTY-FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS!!! For that much those pills should cure my hair loss and make me impervious to illness for the rest of the year! If I didn't have insurance it would have been $90. I need to get into the drug business.

Sorry you're not feeling well, Coop! Hope you feel better soon. Also, I hope it clears up by Friday since I have to drive into town. :yell:

As far as a snow blower in San Jose, with Bush in office, Armegeddon is on it's way. So, a snow blower may come in handy before we know it! :lol:

Hey! Have you ever thried that "Airborne" stuff? It's great to take on the onset of symptoms. I have avoided getting sick a couple of times from taking that stuff. It rocks! They have "Airborne Jr." for kids too, DD. ;)

I have some in my desk 7.99 for 10 it's great stuff...... Ahhhh you have kids????
 
I talked to someone on an airplane last year who was taking that stuff. It may be something to look into.

And Thraxx, we have PLENTY of water around here now, lol. You can keep yours.

Skorned, it's actually sunny as I look out the window of my palatial (ahem) one bedroom apartment in Costa Mesa. There are still some very dark clouds on the horizon so I don't think we're out of the woods yet. It looks like more rain tonight and then we're clear...until Monday. Then more rain.

Oh, and if those No.Cal. tree huggers learned to share like good little hippies, we wouldn't be in a spat! Hehehehehe

You'll have to wait until I'm feeling better for that, lol.
BTW, it's not sunny anymore.
Time for another couple of Albuterol puffs. Tastes great, less filling...

I know, I'm sorry. As a woman it's hard to empathize. Being sick means business as usual for us. Ya'll make such a big production! I didn't take one day off when I had walking pneumonia in December.
 
You guys took all of our rain, send some up I-5 why don't ya? It hasn't rained here for...um...damn, let me think...hold on...almost remember...uh...shit...last Wednesday...no, that was sunroof day, until I got to Gresham and it was windy time...damn, don't know when it rained here last.

As for the sprinklers, that's not as bad as what I saw here early December. Driving to work and it's damn cold, but no rain or snow, so not bad, dry road. I come around a corner and a stupid AM/PM was watering the road. Didn't think anything of it until I touched the gas pedal on that patch and about when in a side spin.

And as for being sick, I take Benodryl Cold stuff when I get sick, and lots of vitamin c.
