I'm ill once again. I have a fever, headache, sore muscles and a sore throat - which kinda sucks since I can't stop coughing. Probably a mild flu or something but I do hope it goes away soon

Newest news from my side : My ... what's the term ? "godmother" ? sounds strange ... believes I might be an Aspie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndromeAt least this would explain a few things I have noticed about myself ... Your godmother and godfather (to my understanding,) are the couple nominated to help raise you as a Christian and care for you should your parents die. I'd be careful taking terms like Asperger's and Autism seriously. Most of my family show traits of Autism, but that's probably our nature more than any disorder. People are quick to label any deviation from the norm. I prefer to use the term diverse. It's a lot more believable that my friend's kid has autism. He still struggles to form a conversation at age 7.

Peter - hope you get better soon.
Alrik - HEF is right. It's really easy to fall into the trap of thinking you may have something because you start relating to the symptoms, but all you really get from that is something to ask your doctor about. Never hurts to check, of course, but chances are you don't have it.

Yeah, hope you didn't catch the H1N1 flu, Peter; flu is what it sounds like though. Alrik, I think it's godmothers' roles to try to diagnose us with all kinds of scary things.

Huh... godmothers and godfathers... what a strange concept. Btw, I finally cleaned my keyboard. Man, I can finally look under the keys now and see the original keyboard colors. And gods, I really removed a ton of hair and debris. ;D

Yes, I know this "keyboard debris" thing. I had to throw my last one away, after about at least 5 years of humble serving me.

@ Alrik: I don't think you're autistic, no way! Your Godmother might be getting old. @ Peter: Ill again? That can't be good... Let's hope it ain't swyne flu! ;D @ Fille: Hm... I wonder what Cinderella would've said about that. @ SC: Are you kidding? They can be AWESOME! Take a fine example of a Godfather: And Godmother:

Most H1N1 incidents in Demark have been mild and it's believed to result in less casualities than the regular flu - so I don't think it'll be that bad if I do have the swine flu I'm slowly getting better and today I attended the job application course I'm following. I feel rather tired and last night I woke up many times sweating intensly and having cold chills/shivers so I still have a fever. I hope to sleep better tonight or I'll be out of clean clothes soon. I must've gone through 4 tshirts last night Anyway, unless I'm feeling very ill tomorrow I'm going to visit my parents house this weekend. My mom's celebrating her 65th birthday this weekend

Always seems like "sweating out the disease" to me ;D

A year? That's quite a lot it seems to me. I only get a flue each 2-3 years so to say.

But it's only bad the first day or so, the rest of the time I just blow my nose once a day or so. This is a saying that makes sense. ;D

Yeah, the H1N1 doesn't cause a whole lot of causalities here either, but those who catch it are in for a quite uncomfortable time. Especially the younger people who were never exposed to the Hong Kong flu.

That would be a cold, not flu. TOUCHE! Sorry Hildor & Glance, I used the word "flu" (short for Viral Influenza), when I should've used the word "cold" (short for "Common Cold" ). Yeah, I haven't had the flu since... since... I was 13! The cold is what I get 2-3 times a year. Thanks Fille for clarifying! @ SC: Would you prefer a younger version of him?

And there are less running strains of it at a given time; it would not be normal that you would catch that 3 times a year. IIRC I never caught a flu [yet] (knocking on wood). I had other similarly running diseases, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I find a cold more irritating than a flu. A flu normally knocks you out for a few days and then stays away for a long time. But a cold keeps coming back to continue buggering, often multiptle times a year.
