That's my normal too! Sorry I missed everybody! If I get up to 97 I feel pretty yucky. I even had my dr record it on a day I felt perfectly fine just to have it in my file.

Twist I know I missed you but if your normal is 98.6 and you're running 99.1, you should not take anything for it. That's only half a degree high. Your body runs hot when you're sick to kill the bad bugs. You should not take anything unless you get up to about 101 and have body aches. Tell him, @microchick!

If your fever gets over 101 you can alternate ibuprofen and Tylenol, take one or the other every two hours. But don't take Ibu if you're taking another NSAID.

@microchick I know what you mean about those nasty Asian ladybird beetles. They bite and they stink! I got one in my ear one night and it was AWFUL. DH shined a light and it crawled out. Ugh! <shivers>

Sorry I was AWOL for a bit, Granny, I was visiting with GC here in the living room. Anyway good night everybody! Sleep tight!

Yep, that is what we were told and went by as far as temperatures were concerned.

One night at work one of the aids came up to me and said, I'm sick I have to go home and she showed me the electronic thermometer we had on the wing. Her temp was 99.2. I wasn't having a good night. Seldom did so I took the machine from her loaded it with a fresh probe cover, stuck it in my mouth and when it beeped, showed it to her. It was 100.3. I win, I said, get back to work. The truth is, I run subnormal too so when I hit 99 I feel quite ill so I know what you are saying about having a normally low temp. If I start doing an occasional low grade temp I know either my osteo is flaring, my digestive tract is flaring or my rheumatic fever is flaring.

Didn't get much sleep last night. June Bug was on another rip. 5 times awake dealing with her marching on me, laying on me, sticking her tail under my nose or her claws in my neck. DH tried to get her off me once and she wouldn't budge. He was afraid he would wake me up so he backed off. Don't female cats eventually go through 'menopause?' If this is just because she loves me I'm soooooooo sunk.

We did get the mattress turned on the bed today. We have a big king bed so it's like wrestling an unconscious elephant and takes both of us to get it done. But we did it. I must have rubbed an ounce of Voltarin gel on my shoulder afterwards but it was worth it.

Our Econoline van is 20 years old this year and we are starting to talk about getting another vehicle. We'd like a 4 wheel drive pick up due to our roads out here or at least something 4WD with enough ground clearance that we wouldn't be dragging the undercarriage on the crown of the gravel roads or the ruts for that matter. The van has been remarkably trustworthy but 20 years is 20 years.

Wow, mc! What kind of mileage does that old van get?
