My thoughts on Slackware, life and everything

I got the flu, no new software or posts while I get better

I caught a bad case of it, I have been slowly deteriorating during the week and not accepting it, and I was finally felled on thursday evening.

If you wondered, why no new calibre packages, why no talk about the upcoming libreoffice or KDE, well that is why. I am unable to work on computers right now.

See you soon. Eric

    Eric, I wish you a speedy recovery.

    Don’t worry about up{dates,grades}, that can wait a few days.

    Take care of yourself,
    Didier

    Hi Eric, Liposoma Vit c and Olive Leaf will help your immune system fight off that flu. Get better and forget the computer for a few days.

    Get well soon.
    Recently a colleague catch flu on the way from Chicago to Belgrade. I heard a joke from him:

    A man walks into the pharmacy and asks the pharmacist, ”Do you have any acetylsalicylic acid?”
    “Do you mean aspirin?” says the pharmacist.
    “That’s it, I can never remember that word.”

    Get some rest and get well soon
    Vit C is the easiest way to regain body immune system as Robby said

    Those builds can wait until next month 🙂

    Ugh, get well soon! It’s nasty as hell. My in-laws had it over Christmas.

  9. Brian Lawrence

    Look after yourself, Eric, and get well soon. Forget about the builds until you’re fully recovered.

    I hope it doesn’t last too long for you. The flu is rampant here in Kentucky, but does seem to be slowing down. I’ve been lucky so far, but l’m still hoping to escape this time. Just take care of yourself.

    Same here, got a disease twice in a row :/
    Eat fruits !

    Gute Besserung!

    Hi Eric,

    take your time to recover fully, and don’t make the mistake trying to accelerate things. The current flu virus struck down lots of people here, and those who thought they could work again after only 8 days, had to stay in bed for another two weeks, in the end. So take care and don’t hurry.

    We have a saying: If you visit a doctor the flu will take 14 days, but if you don’t it will last for two weeks. 😉

    Hello Eric,

    I wish you a quick recovery.

    Take care of your self Eric, rest a lot, drink a lot of water, and as Willy said Vitamin C is the best way to repair your defenses.

    Hi Eric,

    Wish you get well soon!

    Stay in bed and keep warm for few days (even if you feel better). Drink a lot (not alcohol, of course). Get Vit C and rutin. Chicken soup is really good against flu.

    And be as tough as Slackware is 😉

  23. Slackwarrior

    Get well, drink green tea with rum, use Slackware! 😉

  24. ArTourter

    Get well soon Eric,

    and as other people have said take your time to fully recover and don’t rush it.

  34. Beelzebud

    Get well, Eric. Your health is the important thing.

  35. bocke

    Get well soon Eric. And take your time to fully recover. Chicken soups are not that bad. 🙂

  36. onebuck

    Eric, get well soon! Keep your fluid intake up so as not to have dehydration. Rest will help you and be sure to eat lightly. Chicken soup or broth helps. Unsalted soda crackers will help settle the stomach which can be a problem with all the coughing. Maybe; http://altmedicine.about.com/od/coldsandflu/a/fluremedy.htm “which is why you should talk with a qualified healthcare provider if you think you may have the flu.”

    Get well soon Eric! Packages can wait

    Flu – have your blood level of vit d3 tested – should be minimum 50. See http://www.VitaminDCouncil.com for research, test nomenclature and parameters. Test not expensive and supplements are relative cheap.

    Coincidentally, improving the level of Vti D3 will also help inpreventing several different cancers, MS and a host of other difficulties.

    Also note the essentials that go with it – magnesium and calcium with natural fat (during a meal, tight after, etc.

    thanks for your Slack work!
