Amazing coincidence! I also came down with pneumonia after two bouts of upper respiratory disease during Basic Training. I came about as close to being recycled as someone can come without actually being recycled. After getting out of the hospital the second time for upper respiratory infection, I had to to the track qualification and couldn't make it 1/4 the way around the track. The next day I was feeling better, and for punishment, the drill sergeant made me run up and down the platoon as they ran the 7 miles to the rifle range. The following day I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I suppose the only reason I wasn't recycled was because spinal meningitis was going around Fort Jackson at the time and people were literally falling out every day. Another recycled recruit would probably have been a political embarrassment.


Did you have to take any cold water showers to reduce the fever? Weren't they fun?
I had really bad bronchitis and kept going on sick call. they only gave me robitussin which is NOT effective against that! when I passed out in the mess hall and cut my leg wide open and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance they said "oh gee! she's really sick!" at the hospital they discovered it had moved into pnuemonia. I was in the hospital for 10 days, coincidentally enough during a measles outbreak and that's the ward I ended up on. fun times were NOT had by all!
they would make me sit in the corridor dinking ice water until my temp came down. all I wanted to do was sleep and I fell asleep in the chair a lot. I guess that was around the time that the kinder gentler Army was coming into being.

NEW YORK (AP) - Authorities say a Staten Island ferry with a history of accidents lost power and crashed into a pier as it approached its terminal, leaving as many as 37 people with minor and moderate injuries.....
we have ferries bumping the dock quite often here and it never makes the news. then again rarely are people injured.

Been reading the Jules Verne Book Club selection. The sailor (Pencroft) keeps droning on about the lack of tobacco on the island. I broke down and fired up my first cigarette since buying the Nook. Now it's back on the wagon for me, but damn, that cigarette tasted good!

dont even talk about temptation. Its been 3 years 5 months and 17 days since my last confession(ahem durry) - Oh and about 10 kilos. 5 of those I didn't need to gain.

Its a pity it was so good. That would stuff it for me. The last one I smelled made me a bit ill. So I hold onto that. and have a nice glass of Shiraz instead.

if you want to see a movie with a ferret in a leading role, check out Furry Vengeance. this is not cinematic magic by a long shot... cute, funny, ridiculous even, but fun!

I quit smoking 3 weeks before I blew my knee out. there was a pack of smokes on the console of the vehicle I was picked up from the emergency room in... sooooo tempting!!! and I know about the added fluffiness! plus idleness due to the injury

When Wife was pregnant of SmallDaughter she cut it down to 4-5 per day. We had the cars steam cleaned (for a mere 150 euro each), whole house interior repainted (in excess of 5000). It sure is an expensive habit.

Now we smoke only outside. Luckily in the Bel Paese they are not so bigot about the whole thing. I do miss that one after a meal at the restaurant, sipping a pousse-cafè ...
