Yup. I got one - and quite a doozy too.
I was planning on getting my GasGas 125 up and running this weekend,
and taking another crack at getting the jetting dialed in - what with
the new top end and all. I think I'll spend the weekend laying around
coughing up gelatinous goo instead....yummy.
That is all.

Pussy...
Here's the drill... There's something going around... west to east... that
knocks the living hell out of you. I know people in CA and CO that are
spending up to 8 weeks dealing with it. I was in a meeting in Colorado
Springs about a week and a half ago that included a guy that was just
SUFFERING from this. His wife was in week 8. Four days later, I had a sore
throat and this kind of "harbinger headache" I get when I have something
good coming in and got into my doc (who OWES me for doing all his physics
and chem in college). Told him about the exposure and the symptoms and that
I need a thermonuclear fix given what's happening in my work life (LOL...
calling that thing a "life"... ROFL). He put me on some antibiotics that
were set to "11" since the most likely cause was pertussis which is big out
west and in the travel pipe right now and Tamiflu as "the flue" is an
outside possibility. Unlike people I know around me who got HAMMERED... are
getting HAMMERED by this thing... I got on the program in 24 hours and
everything's cool.
If it's a regular cold... then you're just are a woman and I suggest
watching the Oxygen channel, some cozy PJs, hot tea and a bag of Milanos...
and that you need to know about the other fixes. As soon as I get an onset
of cold symptoms, I go HUGE on Zicam... not the spray but the swabs. That
covers one viral ecosystem. I also go huge on zinc tablets, which sanitizes
the other. I haven't had a cold last more than a couple of days since I
started this years ago.
Back in the day, I'd always have some asshole from the equator walk up at
the university and hack in my face (you know.. sorta like that third-world
bus station experience called SJC) around Christmas... which would put me
on the couch for a couple of weeks during Winter Break. Zero issues since I
got into chemistry.
If anyone construes this as medical advice, kiss Jay's ass.

When I start feeling coldish I slam down 5 grams of ascorbic acid and
another 5 grams later on and maybe another 5 after that. I haven't had
a cold in decades.
My penance, of course, is joint pain the orthopedists and their x-rays
and MRIs can't explain. Actually I don't give a shit about the
explanation, I just want it to go away.

Pauling was my husband's freshman advisor. Husband buys ascorbic acid
by the drum from China and takes tablespoons of it per day. He hadn't
had a cold for a long time either. Physicists make fewer chemical
mistakes than doctors do.

how did jay's posterior get into this thread?

An Army Ranger was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana and he wanted
a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant
to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the
shopkeepers, the Ranger shouted, "maybe I'll just go out and get my own
alligator so I can get a pair of shoes made at a reasonable price!"
The vendor said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you will run into a
couple of Marines who were in here earlier saying the same thing."
So the Ranger headed into the bayou that same day and a few hours later came
upon two men standing waist deep in the water. He thought, "those must be
the two Marines the guy in town was talking about." Just then, the Ranger
saw a tremendously long gator swimming rapidly underwater towards one of the
Marines.
Just as the gator was about to attack, the Marine grabbed its neck with both
hands and strangled it to death with very little effort. Then both Marines
dragged it on shore and flipped it on its back. Laying nearby were several
more of the creatures.
One of the Marines then exclaimed, "Damn, this one doesn't have any shoes
either!"
