Been 40 odd C here for days .. a long drawn out mild torture

Stay in the shade and drink lots of water.

You could always offer him a bed at your air-conditioned place where Foxtell streams 24/7, you bein' such a huge fan of his, 'n all.

FUCK OFF. Yogi might be "rough" but he is a better person than you will ever be. Plus he likes animals.

Yeah, but he's living so rough, 'n all. Surely you have a spare bed there for him and his dogs.

He lives closer to you Ozzzzzz.

You could offer him a place to stay...and you could fill your nappy at the same time.

SUMMER has arrived! Starting to heat up here in Canberra and I have the air conditioning on at the moment. Currently it is, apparently, 31C with only 38% humidity ... so there is no rain about. It is getting down to about 15C at night now ....

How is it where you live? Unbearable yet?

Oh it's unbearable here.

My fever is currently just under 39 degrees.

Apparently it's humid.

All I know is that I'm hot and cold. Panadol Rapid and lemonade every 4 hrs is helping. Kinda sorta

Get some Ginger root and cook into food or brew it in a drink and it will stomp your flu within 2 days.
Ginger id anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal, so does the lot.

Garlic helps a bit (contains selenium - good for getting rid of toxins) but if you use it alot, it won't work after about 3 years of use.

Echinacea ... when I first tried I thought was a wonder drug. Worked fast. But after time no longer worked .. bit like Garlic.
Note: Use of Echinacea for more than 6 weeks at a time can damage the immune system.

So Doctor Snake Charmer's advice it top up on fruit juice for vitamin C and bomb the flu with Ginger.

EDIT ADDITION: I often put ginger in my coffee. If you can't handle the spiciness of it, sweeten with honey.
Indians (and copied by feral hippies) often brew a tea from ginger called "Chai" to ward off colds/flu.
Although feral hippies tend to adulterate and over-power it with cardamom (strong taste).
Cardamom is supposedly an anti-depressant so the ferals bomb their chai with it because they're all so depressed.

Ginger also prevent stomach complaints. Dive boats use it to prevent motion sickness in dive tourists.

Ta. Still feeling like crap here. Am soooo sore all over.

NB. I am playing it down in front of the family.

Why? I don't want them worrying (ie thinking they should take me to hospital). I REALLY hate those places. Big time!

I used to grow garlic and ginger. I'll need to get some tomorrow morning from one of my neighbours.

Thanks Yogi....I appreciate your help.

I think of Yogi as a (milder) type of Bear Grylls.

He's probably a hunk of a spunk too.

lisa you are supposed to be sick.. so stop flirting...

I thought my advice in yoru flu thread may have bumped you off... but here you are safe and ...well not so well..

I really do think you need more than panadol.. but its ups to you of course..if you have a virus..I dont think panadol works for that but for a Temp.. they are supposed to...I think 39 is high isnt it??.. why the need to go to a hospital why not your own family doctor??...

[lisa jones]
