Checking in - Isabel
Robyn,
You *have* to get better -- I've already bookmarked your new URL Seriously, though, I think jammer is right that you may have strep throat. Also, I'm sending you the virtual matzo balls to go with the virtual chicken soup k30a is sending! (Plus virtual Mint Milano cookies for when your throat is better.) BTW, speaking of strep throat, I discovered the hard way that most ice cream is fine on the throat -- but *chocolate* ice cream makes the pain worse, alas....... (But this was 30+ years ago, maybe things are different now.) Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "Robyn Rhudy" wrote in message ... I live in Central MD. We lost power at 6:01 pm Thurs and got it back 6:04 pm Fri so not too bad. A large locust was on our power lines, with the root ball sticking up. We have 5 acres. We huge top of a tulip poplar down and leveled about 20 smaller trees with it. Tons of leaves and branches. Had air pumps for aquariums and batteries never ran out. Had generator run twice Fri for about 2 hours each time and ran main pond pump, freezer, and well pump on that. Ants kept tripping my pond as they moved all their eggs into the plug-in box. My boss lives on Kent Island. I don't know yet but he may have been flooded. On a lighter note, I'm horribly ill. It started last Sat with weakness and then got sore throat Sun and then off and on fever up to 101 every day since then plus painful throat, ears, total congestion, inability to speak, headache, diarrhea, absolutely no appetite, hard to type, should be in bed, spent 13 hours today doing chores, ran 3 hours late, didn't get to computer chores really, took off work Thurs and Fri (they'll make me pay since I had overdue work and more to do, I'll have to work even harder and have to go in Mon no matter what), and now, to make things worse, my eye is infected. It's like snot is coming from my eye. It's so irritating. My father's eyes are blood red from the same thing. We went to a clinic today but they're all closed so maybe Mon after a morning at hell (that's what I call my job), I can see my incompetent primary care physician. Oh, did I mention my tonsils are coated in white goo? Tonsilitis? Ironic, the best night's rest I had this week was the night of the hurricane as it sounded like a constant freight train and lulled me to sleep. I was up all night last night, can't stop coughing, taking tons of meds, so sick, Nyquil overnight won't even let me sleep. So, those waiting for e-mails from me will have to wait. Can't work on my site either. Oh, also, my e-mail today was full of that new virus so some e-mails may have bounced. I guess I should go die now. If only I could pass out. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Important Notice!

This e-mail as well as the site will be deleted at an unknown time by UMBC without my input. After 10/4/03, please use the e-mail of instead of this e-mail.
