Cough

Well, I’m still sick. I’ve broken down and made a doctor’s appointment for today.
I was reading loren’s site earlier today, and I have found a new purpose in life: Geocaching. As soon as I get some time and some scratch, I’m totally getting a cheap GPS, and taking the kids to do this. It looks awesome.
Thought for Today:

“If you sacrifice others for yourself, you will suffer the consequences.”

  2. I disagree with your thought for today. If you sacrifice others for yourself they will also feel the consequences. But I know you were talking in a less immediate, more karmatic (if that is a word) way. Plus if you sarifice yourself for others you will most definitely feel the consequences. This is the truth I am faced with as I am dealing with one of the hardest decisions in my life.

  6. *inhaled gasp*
    you made your own doctor’s appointment!? after just a day of feeling ill?
    your wife is _SO_ lucky.
    feel better soon, babe!

  7. Well, the only real reason I’m going right away, instead of taking mega-doses of vitamins and herbs is so I can get right back to work. I’ve been out 2 days already, and that’s just not cool.

  8. Hi Wil:
    Speaking of geocaching, it’s really REALLY popular up here in the Pacific Northwest amidst some of the most damned gorgeous wonders of the natural world (if you ask me *grin*), but hey, who’s listening anyways, I’m biased, I confess.
    Anywho, your thought for today perked my interest and naturally I like the previous poster thought of “karma” and the role it plays in our lives. The simplest rule of science I ever learned as a kid was succinctly: for every action, there is a reaction. Having said that, I can’t help but think that “karma” is the interconnectedness of us all.
    We may be either too close in time or too near in space to observe with any accuracy the lawfulness of the order of the universe. We are never, however, beyond its reach.
    Hope you get to feeling well, I battled the flu about three/four weeks ago and would you believe it, I’m still not feeling “perky” yet?
    Peace, out.

  10. Hope you feel better soon, you know those anti-biotics will take a couple days to take effect also! (that sucks)

  11. Again, I say orange juice!!!! It works!! And also, pictures of a sports team named after you that are in an email sent to you this weekend could always make you feel better too! *hint hint* 🙂

  12. I would recommend the etrek Vista.. It has 24meg downloadable memory for maps, routes, waypoints. And its about size of cell-phone. Very small, great screen, waterproof durable. (gosh, I sound like an advertisement). honestly though I am simple a very happy customer.. I have 3 caches under my belt. My wife and I are planning our own cache and bugs. It quite fun!

  15. Hi! I am new to this site and I am quite immpressed. Very sorry to hear of you ill health, Wil. I do hope The doctor was helpfull and that you get well soon.
    PS: I am really looking forward to the release of Star Trek 10 – Nemisis, here in England. But I’ve got to wait until some time Next year until it is. I’ll be particualy interested to see how Wesley’s character has developed too. Anyway enough bable, get well soon, and keep up the good work on the site. Greg.

  16. You make me chuckle, Mr. Wheaton. Well, not the illness part- that, I hope you shake soon.
    I guess I’ve been sacrificin’ all wrong, thanks for the thought.

  18. Disney films – they cure everything! Or is that just for kids…
    GET WELL!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Allright, welcome to the Geocache addiction Wil. My suggestion, buy Garmin Etrex. $200 Canadian, 129 US I think. They’re great.

  23. wish I was sick and didn’t have to goto work 🙁
    We don’t have the G4 tv station in AZ yet 🙁
    Think I’ll rent some porn tonight to deal with this depressin development.

  26. Hey Wil. You sleep up, get well, and look after the funny. I’ll be asking the Goddess to send you some nice healing energies 🙂 Energy for sick to better as well as the mojo 🙂

  29. Hey all. I just checked out the geocaching website. It looks like much fun! Turns out there is a cache hidden in a park near my house. I was just hiking (AKA lost) there a couple of weeks ago with my son and step-son! Looks like I need to invest in a GPS!

  30. Geocaching is really good time, and an excellent family activity. My girlfriend and I have been looking for caches for over a year now. It’s total hoot. Heh, I just said hoot.

  31. my grandpa always said a fifth of jack would cure just about any illness. i dont know if its true, but it sounds like fun finding out!

  32. Oh puh-leeezz!!!
    I’ve had the burning hurts to swallow(shut UP Jun) throat, the major sinus feels like you’ve been punch in the head congestion and I have been coughing up what could be described as “lung butter”
    only took two sinutabs, two doses of triaminic and 1 cough drop….and I haven’t missed a day of work.
    Suck it up Wil!!
    jk

  33. Buckley’s people!! A girl at work tonite has a horrible cold and she was coughing all over everyone all night. She coughed on a bunch of menus and then handed them to me. So I will get sick…actually it’s all in your head so if I say I won’t get sick I won’t..I won’t get sick.

  34. Yo, Wil, it’s Jim Stevens. Just saying, “feel better, baby.”
    Never been to your site before. Man, have you got too much time on your hands.
    Cheers!
    Jim

  35. Man, everybody at G4 is sick. You’re the third person I know of to fall ill in the past week.
    I hope ya feel better man. Take care of yourself. There are people on the G4 forums that want you to start some Tribes 2 competitions. :>

  37. Wil
    I hope you get well soon.
    I have two words of advice for you.
    MEDICINAL ALCOHOL!
    Either that or positive thoughts that you stuck it to Vega$, even if it’s just a little bit 🙂

  39. I wanted to take a moment to point out that wil as a host is much less expensive that Bill Clinton. Wil: $500, Bill: $50,000,000.00
    I would say that Wil is definitely a better value especially since he has his funny back & his funny neck

  40. Hey, Wil is still sick. Hmmm, sounds like of a case of full blown AIDS! (Avoiding Intervention from a Doctor Syndrome). When you get sick, call for an appointment immediately. All you do is make it worse and make your poor family and friends worry. Get well soon! – God Bless!

  41. You’re thought of the day is a good one, and an old one…
    “give and ye shall receive”
    sort of sums it up

  42. how about, ” Do on to others as you would want done on to yourself” ?
    Wil, sorry to hear about your illness.
    it’s times like this that I wish we had someone
    like Dr. Crusher wave the little cure stick
    and make us well… and like most of Gene’s
    visions, man will get that device invented…
    someday, someday soon. man will go were no man has
    gone before.
    take care

  43. Holy hell, you get a lot of comments. 😉
    Um…I hope you feel better??

  44. Wow- I actaully heard about geocaching in an Iowa newspaper before reading it on Wil’s site. It does look like fun.
    Get better, Wil.

  45. Great, just great. Like I don’t have enough things to do with what little time I have already. And like I don’t have enough things to spend my dwindling supply of money on. Now you show me geocaching … which looks like a lot of fun. My family and I already Volksmarch (www.ava.com) just about every weekend, this looks like a more interesting version of Volksmarching to some degree. I suppose I’ll have to find a GPS and give it a go. *sigh*

  46. Wil – GET BETTER!
    And what is it with men and being SO reluctant to see the doctor? I admit I’m not a great fan of going to the doctor myself (yeah, suffered for THREE days with horrible fever and cough before I caved in, went to see my GP and found out I had pneumonia…)
    Anyway, get better uncle Willie – lots of HOT tea with freshly squeezed lemon juice and organic (preferably Australian) honey.
    It’s Friday!!!

  47. Hope you’re feeling better. I have found that Thera-Flu is a wonder drug in terms of killing sore throat and stuffy head symptoms.
    But, geez, imagine what could happen if you tried every drug that everyone’s suggested. Could be ugly…

  48. Will said: “Well, the only real reason I’m going right away, instead of taking mega-doses of vitamins and herbs is so I can get right back to work. I’ve been out 2 days already, and that’s just not cool.”
    *ignores quasi-MANLY-man justification by humming circus music*
    DOOT do dodo-do DOO DOOT DOO-do DO…
    Why Wil-
    if you say you screw the cap back on the toothpaste, don’t wipe your nose on the couch,
    remember to take the trash out without having to be told, stop for directions when you’re lost, and try to keep the trumpet-gas at sneak attack, at least when you’re in public with your fav. femme…
    why, why… I think i’d love you. 😉
    or better yet:
    You’re No. 1! You’re No. 1! In your FACE, Space Coyote!!

  50. Get well soon!
    Why not try relaxing with the original 1986 version of Tetris (which http://www.kottke.org linked to a few days ago). It has brought back many memories of the dread ’80s in the past few days, and has been distracting me from more useful stuff I ought to have been doing.
