seriously if it is actually "something", I am gonna give my Dr. what for.
Maybe just give the "something" to the doctor. Also: Push fluids. Gargle with salt water. REST. And whatnot.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't know about the credit card fee coming out of a waiter's pocket, but I should have. As a small business, I have to pay a not-unsubstantial fee for every credit card transaction my clients make. It's sometimes a painful chunk.
The credit card companies agree with -t, that the ability to use cards attracts customers. What I didn't know before signing up for the service, is that it's 'illegal' (though I suspect that's a strong bit of propoganda on the credit card companies' part) for me to express a preference to my clients for receiving payment by cash or check.
Could that really be legislation?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Finally watched the Bernard Goldberg interview, and I loved it, even if I did end up feeling kind of sorry for the guy after the commercial break because he was just so clearly out of his league.
Last night's was good too, but my Tivo got the guy's name wrong. (Tivo said it was going to be the other Newsweek reporter who's on all the time. Bad Tivo! No biscuit.)
I'm at home today, FINALLY taking one of my summer Fridays off, and electricians are fixing an outlet in my kitchen that's been dead for three months. (My landlord is refinancing, so she's finally getting her ass in gear and fixing all the various things we've mentioned to her. In September we may even get new doors on the bedroom and bathroom to replace the ones that are there now with big holes in them! Exciting!)

msbelle, where are you travelling to?
I ask for the check because I'm not usually a lingerer. Usually I'm an eat, pay, leave kind of girl.

I did the warm salt water last night. In case anyone has forgotten, it is NASTY.
I am pushing lots of water and right now hot herb tea.
Also, I don't think I want to kiss my Dr. Pretty sure, no.

Beej, that sounds like BS to me. My doctor will take credit cards, but if you pay cash or check she charges less.

Considering the highest class place I've ever been to on my own nickle is Olive Garden, I'm not too concerned about the etiquette of bill delivery. Bankroll a trip to Le Cirque or something for me, and I'll be happy to conduct an investigation.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I get dinged and extra x% for paying with a credit card all the time.
I always liked gargling with warm salt water, It's miles better tasting than gargling with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and Lavoris, that's for sure. Used to have to do that when I had chronic sore throats of indeterminate origin.
