Mine showed up and I haven't even used it, the husband leered at it so it's going under the tree... LOL. Everyone needs a box mod in order to succeed :) It's been hard not even unshrinwrapping it.....

The husband and I have determined we both don't feel well, so I'm hoping this passes quickly, kiddo will have to come tomorrow which he was already planning on doing... I had a fever, but it seems to be going away so I guess I must forgive the husband for this morning. I still think the food might've started it, at least for me....

No shinyitis happened, LOL, that's the important thing. I am so glad I went back to bed though... :)

If you want a fast adult cold remedy, you going to love this recipe.

1 large mug, tea/coffee.
Fill it with 1/2 with your favorite black tea.
1/2 with red wine.
Make sure it’s still hot , microwave it if you have to bring the temp back up.
2 tea spoons of honey.
Drink it while it’s hot, don’t let it cool down.
Make another one and drink it up.
Go straight to bed, wrap your self like a pig in a blanket and sleep for 6-8 hours.

The tea will cleanse and flush your system, while hot alcohol, will kill the germs.
Don’t take ANY pils or medication.

You welcome. ;)

That's a good remedy and I bet it tastes way better than Nyquil. I wrote it down though I think a cup of red wine overall would be pushing it for me... maybe like a 1/4 cup or something....

But I feel better :) From today and yesterday.... The husband and I hashed some things out.

So, I am going to focus on enjoying waiting (FT...so it will be a LONG wait) that Steamturner mod which was really the only dna mod I liked the look of that much. LOL. Since my husband is getting the Punk, I think it's gonna be like not that big a deal, and I will have a *DNA* mod.

Yoga fixes everything, and off to pick up the kid, shortly! :) Happy Christmas Eve shinyitis sufferers :) May your Christmas wishes come true :)

Ugh. Shinyitis happened. This was pure irritation on my part, as I "awoke" the husband again, and he was super unpleasant for a long time! It was 6 a.m. when I woke him up and I don't quite see how that is "late" except the idiot has had problems sleeping forever... And will he do something about it? No, no he won't.

When I merely pointed out that since expecting me to be as silent as the grave is stressful (I knocked over a mod) and that he might try earplugs, well that kind of went over like a lead balloon... I wish the guy would like, do something about it (even if it's ONLY wearing earplugs) that wouldn't require silent perfection on MY part. I mean, *I* wear them since he grinds his teeth and "doesn't like" a mouth guard, it's not the most difficult thing in the world to do. I try really hard to stay quiet until 7:30 a.m. but it SUCKS and it's practically impossible to do consistently especially as I am WAKING UP... hence, clumsy. He thinks it's "lack of effort" but I don't.

So, I (knowingly and with full awareness) got that Steamtuner's DNA mod that I've been coveting for ages (found out yesterday that it was a two battery mod which made me covet it more) from FT.

I suppose it's not too late to cancel, but man, it's HARD sometimes all those hours I am awake in darkness and that's actually my best time to get stuff DONE. (Once I wake up) and it's just frustrating.... Especially when being asked to be scary quiet... Maybe I need to go hide out in the spare bedroom? I mean, we don't have great insulation but it might help. I just don't know what to do on this one. :( I can't buy a mod every day until this is resolved... I am going to have to think of something, though.

I think I'm keeping the mod, LOL, I got it for a great price and I DESERVE it (or so I feel) after this morning's... I suppose it falls under a conversation. Emotional shinyitis though... That's not a good habit for me to engage in.

Maybe I could insert the earplugs once he's asleep? Pillow over his head (gently) as I wake up? IDK. He won't LISTEN though, to any of my suggestions. I'm kind of wishing HE had a fine motor tremor, but that's just mean. Maybe for a day, so he could see what it's like. LOL.

Anna
The only reasonable solution (assuming he will do nothing to help) is to have separate bedrooms and make sure his bedroom is insulated from the rest of the house as much as possible.

If he doesn't like sleeping alone, he might be willing to be more helpful. If not? Oh well, at least you can finally relax and live your life.

Congrats on your new shiny!

If you go with 1/4 , then you’ll have to drink more of it. Try 1/3 wine mix.

Here is a safe for most ages remedy.

First, you will need a good quality home made raspberry jam;
no preservatives or additives if possible, the good stuff.
A large mug of black tea. 4-5 tea spoons of the good stuff raspberry jam.
Drink two cups while it’s hot.
Wear pajamas, wool socks, a winter hat.
Wrap your self in a blanket.
At this point you will feel hot, very hot, it’s a good thing.
Keep a large bottle of water +35oz by your bed or couch, wherever you decide to Hybernate for 8 hours.
Do not unwrap your self unless you have to pee or poop.
Sweat it out!
Hydrate as you need to.
After 8 hours, shower, hydrate and eat a big breakfast or lunch.
Same goes for above ‘Adult’ remedy.

Sweating it out is the key, plus hydration and small 5 nutritious meals in a day; liquid soup diet.

Change your close as often as possible and shower every 12 hours.
Change your bed sheets every 12-24 hours. Don’t let the germs get absorbed by your pillow or the mattress.

When I’m sick, I drag a lawn chair in to a shower and sit for 20-30min under hot water.
I drink 40 oz of water when I’m not sick and almost double when I am sick.

Being sick sucks. But I feel better x10 fold, when I have a solid and proven plan that works.
And only medication I take is; aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, as needed.

Honestly! LMAO
Beautiful mod to start the new year with. Treat yourself.
I really do like the look but have never owned anything from them. The lack of information online is one of the main reasons I'm hesitant. Found some pics on Google but it has a board, this says straight mech. Anyone seen anything at all?

Investigate Tuglyfe, not the mod in particular. I'm not familiar with mechs, so no help.
