    Tuesday of this week my spring semester started, Thursday of this week I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with mono (also known as the kissing disease, its a virus that spreads through saliva) X| I mean its not all bad, I mean I get a week off work (the doctor wanted two but I haggled her down to one) and I'm actually supposed to eat things like ice cream etc. But missing a week of work unpaid sucks, constantly being tired sucks, i had to drop my easiest class this semester (swimming) because I could rupture my spleen (evidently bad), i can't lift anything ten pounds and over and to top everything off its snowing I have a weekend off and I can't go snowmobiling or four wheeling. Oh and did I mention its my 21st birthday tuesday? So I'd appreciated it if you guys/girls kept the lounge nice and interesting as I will have plenty of free time and will need some entertainment. Meanwhile I'm off to bed until class time. Matt Newman

          Yeah, me too (thought he was referring to Mono) :laugh: "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

              I thought you were talking about Mono[^]. It's too bad that you're not -- I've had mono and it wasn't fun. I got it right after high school graduation, so I spent the first part of that summer laid up around the house. :^) I remember having a very bad fever. We were in the process of moving (well, my family was; I was just sleeping on the floor), so I had to drive my truck over to the new place. It was 110F outside, but I was so cold that I rolled up my windows and cranked up the heater full blast. That, and I had a killer sore throat, but once the doctor gave me some prednisone, I felt much better. Anyway, happy birthday, get some rest, and I hope you get better real soon. :rose:

                Heheh thought he was talking about the other Mono too. :-) I wonder if Miguel ever gets tired of the kissing jokes. ;P

                    Darn, and I thought this was a programming post! Unsolicited medical suggestion, based on what someone I used to know (he was a behavioral optomitrist) did as per his doctor's suggestion--mega doses of Vitamin C. In fact, he got injections of the stuff. :omg: Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

                              And here I was thinking you were talking about .NET on Linux. I got mono (we call it glandular fever here) when I was 21 too, right in the middle of exams. Annoying as hell. Get better soon. cheers, Chris Maunder

                                Is mono the official name? The name "kissing disease" rings a painful bell in my mind. Stuck my tongue into the wrong woman, and was a zombie for most of the summer. Constantly tired and no apetite whatsoever. If it's what I had, then I suggest you take your doctor's advice. And don't drink alcohol until you're well again. :) -- Komm tu mir langsam weh, leg mir die Ketten an und zieh die Knoten fest, damit ich lachen kann I blog too now[^]

                                    Tuesday of this week my spring semester started, Thursday of this week I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with mono (also known as the kissing disease, its a virus that spreads through saliva) X| I mean its not all bad, I mean I get a week off work (the doctor wanted two but I haggled her down to one) and I'm actually supposed to eat things like ice cream etc. But missing a week of work unpaid sucks, constantly being tired sucks, i had to drop my easiest class this semester (swimming) because I could rupture my spleen (evidently bad), i can't lift anything ten pounds and over and to top everything off its snowing I have a weekend off and I can't go snowmobiling or four wheeling. Oh and did I mention its my 21st birthday tuesday? So I'd appreciated it if you guys/girls kept the lounge nice and interesting as I will have plenty of free time and will need some entertainment. Meanwhile I'm off to bed until class time. Matt Newman

                                        Is mono the official name? The name "kissing disease" rings a painful bell in my mind. Stuck my tongue into the wrong woman, and was a zombie for most of the summer. Constantly tired and no apetite whatsoever. If it's what I had, then I suggest you take your doctor's advice. And don't drink alcohol until you're well again. :) -- Komm tu mir langsam weh, leg mir die Ketten an und zieh die Knoten fest, damit ich lachen kann I blog too now[^]

Kissing disease is a name you don't neccesarily want to throw around in all occasions. Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: And don't drink alcohol until you're well again. Well typically I can't stand the taste of alcohol and I despise the taste of beer. If I do drink anything it would be a long island ice tea on the weak side. I also have never had enough to get a "buzz" or drunk. Matt Newman
