I've had a sore throat too. And a cough. It's amazing how a sore throat can make your whole body feel like crap.

 

[edgie]

it should be cure cancers
though maybe they are just trying to get rid of that one cancer they don't like

Yeah, breast cancer. That's the main one they appear to focus on.

Gruen has had some interesting discussions on the whole pink campaign and how from a marketing perspective it has gone a long way from the original idea

Movember is another example of targeted marketing for research funding

the point really is that there are a lot of cancers out there, some are more common, some do more damage, if you are going to fund you fund the ones that have the biggest impact, so things like breast and prostate cancer, skin cancer in this country etc

my comment was more the fact that curing cancer isn't a single job, there isn't one type of cancer there isn't a single vaccine etc

hell look at how the flu mutates

I was using cancer as a collective plural

Yah my mate is going thru this now- she texted me at 2.30pm yesterday to say she just woke up- and she's back at work today. I told her to zzzzz under her desk Costanza style if need be.

Yep. Coughs can GAGF. I've had one for the last week to week and a half (no sore throat though), and it's showing no signs of going anywhere.

I've been off coffee and it's all about tea atm. Good for the cough. And water.

My doc said to go back for antibiotics if it hadnt gone away "in one week"- which was last week. But **** off if im going back to the docs office, for like the fourth time now.

I hate the actual flying far more than jet lag, air travel is a ****ing pain in the arse. Though I mainly do it for work which is not a fun reason to travel I guess.

Nah I only travel for leisure and ****ing hate it- every single thing except the food and the movies. Never really get jet lag tho which is one plus.

Yeah I don't get jet lag either, I get tired of course cause I can't sleep on planes.

Oh and on topic: people who use speaker phone in office environments, particularly when on hold, pain in the arse.

Had a cough for 6 weeks but ever since the GWS game and yelling so much I have now got a bad sore throat. Cough has increased to the point I think I am coughing up stuff from primary school now.

I keep thinking of making a doctors appointment then gets forgotten in the next bout of coughing

Mild case of chickenpox for my youngest. It's times like this where it sucks having no family around. Wife and I will have to rotate days off work.

Meeting a friend for lunch and the ballet and she's already 30 minutes late

Hope he gets better soon. I had it when I was 20. Took a good 2 weeks.

Thanks. He was vaccinated against it so it's kind of small symptoms. Tired with a rash but not crazy itchy like I remember.

I got measles when I was fourteen, and all I got was a week off school. Now it gets reported on the evening news.
