Hi Friends,
I came down with a full blown case of the flu last Mon morning. :fnt: So that's why I haven't been around this week. It looks like it's going to run the full 10 days to 2 weeks this time, so it will still be a while longer before I can get back full time. Although from here, I can probably check in every couple or 3 days, to make sure there aren't any serious problems.
Thanks everyone for helping to hold down the fort (as they say), especially Lazur for approving messages. :)

Hi Brynn, sorry to read this :-( Take care of yourself + get well soon!

i'm sorry to read this too, wishing you a speedy recovery! maybe you want to checkout ginger - tea. its known for transforming mucus and the strengthening of the immune defenses. i have some good experiences with ginger as a therapeutic treatment during infections and colds. just buy a fresh ginger carrot, peel it, chop it into small pieces, pour it over with boiling water and let it brew for 10 - 15mins.

Tastes nice, too (its most well-known effect is that it helps against nausea) - best with a small teaspoon of honey ;-)
I've been wondering whether to tell bryce about this - he has scheduled the first meeting of the advocacy group for Friday (I can't be there, expecting to have no internet access).

Thanks guys!
Wish I knew about the ginger root Rx. I'm not a big fan of ginger, although it's completely possible I've never had a well prepared recipe. But I would have tried it anyway, if I had been able to get to the store to buy it. Normally I have help for that kind of thing, but it's been kind of the perfect storm of everything going wrong at once.
While I hope to be on my feet by Friday (that's my goal, which I hope to meet, if no other surprises come along), I will not be able to attend the advocacy meeting. My cupboard is completely bare, and I have to go shopping, not to mention some other stuff that's been on hold.
Hhm...well, not unless it could end by 12:30 my time, which is 11:30 am Pacific time, which if Bryce is setting the time, it's probably Pacific time. So if it could start at 10:30 Pacific (for a 1 hour meeting), I could attend. Well, I'll eventually find the email later today, and I can reply there (if I last long enough today).
Thanks again for the well wishes :)

:-/ Sorry about that perfect storm, that's especially hard when you're sick. Wish I could send you a chicken soup (or some nice hot ginger tea ;-) - whatever you like) via the internet!
Bryce just cancelled the meeting. I had told him about you being sick and that you /may/ not be able to attend - I guess he has read your last post, and found it safer to postpone it.
-
Well, I hate to think it was just me not being able to attend. But with the both of us not there..... I have the impression he wants the group to self-start and not need much guidance from himself. So maybe without a couple of the more community-experienced participants (us), he thought it wouldn't be the best possible start.
-
I can't know who he actually meant - but I've told him about you and me, so that would make two (which is the number he wrote about).
Sorry I forgot to mention that... :-/ Didn't intend to make you worry.
