I'm unsure if there's a difference between the symptoms of E.Coli, botulism, salmonella, etc.

It could be dysentery, though. Eat anywhere new lately, Ian?

If you can go into your account, when something goes from the Outbox into "Sent Messages" that means it's been read. When it's unread, it sits in the Outbox until it is (the number of unread messages will appear there in parentheses in your messages area next to the title "outbox" on the left hand side of the page).

I know, but from time to time they just dissappear, I forget who sent it, but it dissappeared from their inbox, however I hadn't read it.

Was out for a friend's birthday last night. Pretty fun.

Liverpool 4, Man United 1. :D

That's not just a victory - that's a sound thumping, the worst United have suffered since 92-93. This race isn't over yet. :D

Let's actually put that into perspective:

Man United 1 - Liverpool 4

That was an AWAY result at Old Trafford. Nobody beats Utd at home and nobody puts FOUR goals past them, especially this season where they have, arguably, their strongest team ever. One for the record books that!

Very true, although by the time the whistle went it was almost starting to sound like Anfield on the radio. Although the fact that most of the locals decided to go home 15 minutes early after our third goal might have had something to do with that. Still, there are very few sounds better than You'll Never Walk Alone reverberating round Old Trafford. :twisted:

My grandparents are doing better than they were in January. My grandma in particular is in much better shape, although she won't be around forever - she had been in a nursing home, close to the end, but now she's back home at the assisted living place with her husband of almost 70 years. She's using her walker, eating, socializing, and generally doing really well. My grandfather is calm enough to start watching the news and yelling at the Republicans again :)

So, even though Gram's still terminal, her quality of life has improved as much as we hoped it would, and she's right where she wants to be. 91 ain't a bad run, at any rate.

In other news, I'm weaning myself off Buspar, a mild anti-anxiety drug. I've never been completely comfortable, personally, with medicating an emotional problem, though I don't condemn it in general. I just don't like the idea that I need to take a pill to be who I'm supposed to be. Sort of gives me an identity crisis. Having said that...... I've been taking a very small dose for over a year, and seeing a therapist for my anxiety (among other issues), and things have really improved alot. I'm still depressed sometimes, but I am less anxious in most situations, and I can argue much more constructively with my fiancee.

Wow, that's a serious kick in the balls for them. There'll be riots on the streets. :P

In other sporting news, Ireland remains undefeated in this year's rugby competitions after beating the crap out of Scotland in the second half.

Well boys, I had the most amazing evening last night. Some of you may remember a girl a was seeing shortly after I first joined the forum. Well, she called me out of the blue last night and we had dinner. It was COMPLETELY innocent, but damn, it was SOOO much fun. We were sitting at a park at midnight talking, and got caught in the rain. Neither one of us wanted to move, so we sat there for an hour and got drenched.

Now she wants to take me out for my birthday in a couple of weeks.

Sweet.
