This sodding cold/flu thing which I've had since the weekend before last and which still won't properly go away.

I hate mucus.

The bugs around are shocking this year Zen. I'm still coughing from a chest infection I had about 2 months ago which was a follow on from bronchitis and tonsilitis. Yes, it's been a shit winter and spring so far. Woe is me. :cry:

Yeah, everyone in my house has had this roving drainage/sore throat/sneezing thing for 4 freaking weeks now. All we know is it's not strep, it's not allergies, and it sucks.

Playing a gig tomorrow night. In a most unlikely turn of events, the area is predicted to get 3-6" of snow during the afternoon. This never happens around here in October, and may set records.

My driver-side low-beam headlight is out, and the place is 45 minutes away through lesser highways (ie unlikely to be well plowed).

And Halloween was supposed to get us a great crowd. On the other hand, maybe there will be a crowd anyway. There's that Russian parable...

“The church is near but the road is icy.
The bar is far away but I will walk carefully.”

WTF is this snow in October!!!

Stay away from Indiana.

We had that this past winter/early spring. Weeks and weeks of it, it seemed. I was taking everything in the medicine cabinet! I think taking an antihistamine at bedtime and then Mucinex DM in the morning finally did the trick. The nights were awful, though. I kept waking up with the worst dry mouth AND not being able to breath through my nose.

Heavily annoying: got all the way to the gig and their power's out and they're closing. The band failed to call me before I made the drive north.

fuckers

but we'll go again next saturday so all is not lost. I wager it'll be 80 and sunny that day

Sorry, man. Life of a musician.

Our freaking food service here is crazy expensive. There's a "club" you can join where they'll email you coupons. It's always like "FREE water (with a 15 dollar purchase). No substitutions. Bottled water not included. Offer void if spindled, folded, or mutilated. Do not taunt free water. Water not to be reproduced without express written consent."

I'm only slightly exaggerating.

Meaning the water isn't actually free?

Well, they had a good deal on air, that one time.

Nope. But the butterflies are.

Just got the automated call from the school that hebe has an unexcused absence for today. I checked with her swim coach, the athletic dept , her learning community office and the main office about how to get her excused today on athletic grounds and they all told me the swim coach and athletic dept would take care of it...... :rolleyes:

HAD one for today or HAS one for tomorrow?

HAS one for today.

It's still there, it isn't past tense.Tomorrow is Saturday, she doesn't need an excused absence.

When it gets fixed, or today is over, the "has one for today" will be incorrect. Until that time, "HAS one for today" is correct.

"HAD one for today" will apply if and when it gets fixed today
"HAS one for tomorrow" will never apply

Thanks for playing.
