been away for awhile. what's OP stand for--obnoxious person; one time
poster; on point quard; ???
also, seriously mr. terhune.......your deal is all things computer; mine,
all things medical. specifically,
pa in a major trauma center. unless you were exaggerating for affect.....i
really didn't think your symptoms
of "passing out/fainting every few minutes, drenched in sweat" to be those
meriting a quick sweep under
rug/over threshold.
at your age, i guessed given college daughter, unless it's hot, many stairs
and heavy boxes, smoker,
and same but more of that..........you really shouldn't have such symptoms
remain without investigation.

of a more serious variety of fainting and drenching sweats.........heart
problems and lymphomas come
to mind. get thee to a healer sir.
flogging over, julie---but, only over for a bit because you've assisted me
in the past. just trying to return
the education. no joke, get it checked out. make notes before you forget.

And you are right about the rest. Physician is in attendance. I make light here,
because it's just as well I do so.

I also make light because there really isn't anything else to do about it. Yes,
I smoke. That and coffee are the last of a long list of addictions that I've
whittled down over the last few years (besides obsessive computer use, which is
a newer one,<s>.)

I also have other known disorders and serious health concerns that make those I
described minor additional annoyances. Irrelevant, you might say, <s>.

Thank you for your concern, Julie. Sincerely.

We return you now to your irregularly scheduled Windows 98 General Discussion.

No problemo Bill, It is and has always been an interest that's all. Physics
of course, is a tool (there are many disciplines in that field) by which the
subtle and the far-reaching can be studied. To me ultimately, the interest
lies at the extremes of Cosmology and Cosmogony. Why, it is almost (but not
quite), as captivating as this particular NG and the characters who inhabit
it! Anyway, leave the identity changes up to me, this group is already
confused enough as it is. <VBG>
