As if I haven't had an awful enough winter, I came down with the flu overnight on Monday/Tuesday. Quite a bit of bodily fluids were lost out of several orifices between 12:22 am & 7 am Tuesday. That's when the dry heaves stopped. I was so dehydrated that I had to start taking sips of cold water, which only managed to drain quickly away. The rest of

Ouch! Yeah, getting a shot from a doctor that was displeased with me in general would be a bit nerve wracking. I hope you get to feeling better soon, that flu bug sounds ugly.

Pictures of old barns is an excellent idea! I have an idea that if you get to one, planning your day around the weather you want - and take LOTS of pictures, that might help. Just spend a morning on one, and an afternoon on another? Something like that might help you find the shots you like.

Good Hunting!

I'm glad to hear you like the barn idea. I actually took a picture in my basement (of all places) yesterday. The afternoon sun was coming in through the dirty window, and the way it fell on the old oil tank and cobwebs was pretty neat. I took quite a few pics until I found the one that had the lighting effect I was looking for.

All those landscapes, and the picture I like best is the one I shot in my basement!

It IS funny how that happens, but you just never can tell!

Poor baby! I do hope you feel much better soon. :( Sounds like you're feeling pretty bad there!

Drink fluids, orange juice, water and try to eat a little bread to absorb the bad stuffs. Chicken soup is wonderful for what ails you, especially creamy soups - it will help retain some fluids. Sounds like you are also dehydrated, not good. I have found gator-aid helps during times when I have the flu as well. I really hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the hugs and the advice. I never think of Gatorade when I'm sick, but I'm sure that it would be most helpful. In any event, I am over that nasty flu!

Gatorade is nearly identical to the pedialight(sp?) stuff for when the little ones get sick and dehydrated, course I still prefer to use the pedia stuff when I'm sick. I just got over my illness and believe me that stuff helps alot.
