Thanks Curtis !!

Talk about sick...on Sunday 1/8, I had to go the the emergency room because my throat was closing up and hurt like hell, and i could barely swallow. I still have my tonsils. The doctor looked at it and said I had a fungal infection, did a test for strep and it was positive as well, and said I had staph sores on my hands. I was given an awful substance to drink and a huge anti-biotic shot. Also 2 more kinds of anti-biotics to take at home. The meds wiped out all the bacteria in my body good and bad, and I didn't eat anything for almost a week...if I did, well I won't go into that.
I was at the VA dentist the Wed. prior, other than that not sure how I got hit with all this crud. No one else I know was sick...I am having a physical next week, as this really has shook me up.
Anyone else have all three kinds of this at once ?

Hope you're cured by April

...aka Dr. Bob K. ... er, aren't you trespassing in the ranks of professionals, such as the Other Counselor and myself? Or is that part of the therapy he's prescribing for you, masquerading as an OB/GYN? If so, it makes perfect sense, since you are the one who he described in one of his professional papers as " ... he who always licks his fingers..." Hell, I thought he was talking about some demented Native American, kinda like "Dances With Sheep", but he was in fact talking about you. Now I know we're not supposed to breach doctor/patient confidentiality, but in the interests of public health, I had to make this one exception.

My apologies to all the FNG's on this thread, but they needed warning in the worst sort of way....

Senior Distinguished Counselor,
Curmudgeon Emeritus and
all around good guy!

I just returned from a meeting with the other doctors concerning
Larry's problem. When I described his problem with swallowing and sores on his hands......we all agreed.....Genital herpes

thought I'd post some pertinent information about my GLORIOUS home town of Atlanta and the GREAT state of 'Jawga' fer the FNGs' and anyone else who has yet to visit this southern paradise!

Enjoy..........................


Life in Atlanta & Ga.

This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, has ever lived in
Atlanta, has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans to visit Atlanta, knows
anyone who already lives in Atlanta, or knows anyone who has everheard of Atlanta. Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets.

The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina.

All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the
phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." Except, that in Cobb County, where all directions begin with, "G o to the Big Chicken."

Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be
confused with:

Peachtree Circle... Peachtree Battle
Peachtree Place... Peachtree Corners
Peachtree Lane... New Peachtree
Peachtree Road... Old Peachtree
Peachtree Parkway... West Peachtree
Peachtree Run... Peachtree-Dunwoody
Peachtree Terrace... Peachtree-Chamblee
Peachtree Avenue... Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
or Peachtree Commons

Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you
ask anyone for directions, they will always send you down Peachtree.

Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. Coke's all they drink there, so
don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola.

The gates at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport are about 32miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.

The 8a.m. rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM. The 5pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2am Saturday.

Only a native can pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is "pawntz duh LEE-awn."

And yes, they have a street named simply, "Boulevard."

The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately
forget all traffic rules. If a single snowflake falls, the city is
paralyzed for three days and it's on all the TV channels as a news
flash every 15 minutes for a week. Overnight, all grocery stores
will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and
beer.

If you're told to go to Bankhead Highway and can't find it, It's
because the name is Veterans Memorial but the locals still call it Bankhead.

Also, once the road you're on crosses another road, the name of the road you're on changes. Some roads names change every half mile or so.

I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta, which has a posted speed
limit of 55 mph (but you have to maintain 80 mph just t o keep from getting run over), is known to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."

Don't believe the directional markers on highways. I-285 is marked "East" and "West" but you may be going North or South. The locals identify the direction by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop." If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.

Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to one of the
interstates and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.

The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger,
unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your
AK-47 has a full clip.

Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia.

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus
a couple no one has seen before.

If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites. If you notice a vine
trying to wrap itself around your leg, you have about 20 seconds to escape, before you are completely captured and covered with Kudzu, another ill-advised "import," like the carp, starling, English sparrow, and other "exotic wonders."

It's not a shopping cart, it's a buggy. "Fixinto" is one word (I'm
fixinto go to the store).

Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it
when you're 2 years old.

"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

If you understand these things, forward them to your friends from
Atlanta, Georgia and those who just wish they were.

Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy do I love Jawja!.................
