16862. woden - 10/4/2005 7:26:23 PM Congratulations, Jen! 16863. alistairConnor - 10/4/2005 9:09:52 PM After sleeping for the previous 24 hours, I went to my doctor this afternoon to get a medical certificate to skive off work for a couple of days. Just a flu sort of thing.
I really felt like death barely warmed up, and expected her to tell me something in that line. Instead, she tells me she's never seen me looking so good : content and serene.
She's right, of course. 16864. alistairConnor - 10/4/2005 9:11:14 PM I tip my hat to ScottLoar and VonKreezus. Would be very pleased to see more of both! 16865. judithathome - 10/4/2005 10:07:35 PM You know, you can still look fine but feel dragged out by the flu. 16866. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 10:36:39 PM Hah! Just as I always suspected. A/C is a real flu-sy! 16867. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 10:47:09 PM Talking about flu, you had better go back to that doctor, Ali. I remember as a kid going to cousin in a sanatorium in Savoie. We were told she was very sick and could only see us through glass doors. I had geared myself to see a pale and forlorn wraith of a girl. Instead, this beautiful girl, lightly tanned, with pink cheeks and bright eyes smiled at us.
Anyway, thoughtful, I have this annoying habit lately of relating things that happen to me or that I heard about
to events of the distant past. I thing I'am aging rapidly. 16868. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 10:47:45 PM What do you thing about that? 16869. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 10:51:24 PM eh??? Speak up there you young whipper-snapper! I can't hear you! 16870. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 10:55:47 PM Here's a picture of me in my youth...
 16871. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 10:56:08 PM Ah yes, the good old days... 16872. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 10:57:09 PM Senility? oh, no...I'm still so young and, excuse the bragging, still so, so...well...active, you know...
16873. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 10:59:47 PM Oh, wait a sec...you mean deaf? That's okay, I can handle that.
16874. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:01:57 PM So cute, so darling, you were such a doll, I swear. 16875. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 11:10:15 PM Do you think? A lot of people told me I was a stuffed shirt... 16876. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:13:26 PM Nah, a doll, I say--the big blue eyes, the high aristocratic forehead, the long elegant fingers, just a doll you were. 16877. PelleNilsson - 10/4/2005 11:13:55 PM And is the sickly Flexy .. active .. too? 16878. alistairConnor - 10/4/2005 11:14:19 PM Mago... tu ne croies pas si bien dire!
About a week ago, there was an e-mail circulated at work, to gravely inform us that one of our colleagues had a potentially serious respiratory complaint, and to summon us to a meeting about it.
I was betting on bird flu... expecting to see the building quarantined... but no, only tuberculosis.
There it is. In six months I'll be romantically coughing blood. 16879. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 11:14:29 PM Speaking of aging, my mother is quite something. She told me that she was carded in the store and was just delighted. They didn't believe she was 65 and eligible for the senior discount. Young gal at the counter said my mother looked much younger than her grandmother who was 65. When mom told her she's 80, the girl couldn't believe it and even mentioned it to some of the other gals there.
She walked out of the store on air.
Her uncle is in his 90s and could easily pass for 70. Amazing. 16880. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 11:21:15 PM AC...you tu/toi mags? Is there something we should know about??? 16881. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:49:56 PM And is the sickly Flexy .. active .. too?
The sickly Flexy is no more-the surgeon told him to come back in a year, his carotid being just fine and in the meantime, to do whatever he’s been doing—which, of course gave him complete license to be more … active…than ever...
