The barricaded road in front of the White House! Sadness. I guess that was the reaction for security letting those people get past them.

I think so, a couple bad eggs ruins it for the rest of us.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.

Looks legit to me! But I live in an area where grass is visible and not covered with frozen water.

24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa - the home of the Prime Minister:
And from the Ottawa River, in behind:
You can actually get right up to the shoreline from the river.
Unlike in the U.S., this is 100% his home. There is no Oval Office equivalent, no tours that I know of. And a whole lot less security.
Our previous PM Jean Chretien's wife confronted an armed (knife) intruder at their bedroom door one night, while the PM slept. Smart lady - slammed the door, locked it, and then woke up Hubby.
Security certainly increased following that incident. A bit.

Yep, watching the race I was.Hi! I'm here!I took a break for a while from the NASCAR race on t.v. Probably @MOXOMUMD is watching, too, so that's why she's not on now.
Bummer about your allergies. Allergies are a big mystery to me, in that I always wonder why some people get them and others don't. The other odd thing about allergies is that some people never have them, but out of the blue in their older years, they get them.
On another subject, this past week, with the exception of the zero weather days, there has been some intermittent warmer temperatures (up to 35 today). So there has been "some" melting of the huge snowbanks everywhere. My back yard has gone from 5 feet of snow, almost down to 4 feet now. I think we'll have at least 1 foot of snow back there into early April at this rate!

I hope you feel better. In terms of the neb you probably didn't need it. The medicine in it works at the smooth muscle in the bronchioles and pneumonia is in alveoli. Long story short nebs works for asthmatics but doctors like to prescribe them for everyone who coughs. I don't mind it keeps me employed. The one thing that will help you in addition to the antibiotics and fluids is a pep flutter valve. The popular one used nowadays is called an acapella. You blow into it and it creates a vibration into the brunchus allowing your cough to be more productive. Use this in conjunction with muvinex and you should bring up lots of secretions. That is why you couldn't stop coughing because your body (particularly the mucocilliary escalator) wanted to get rid of the secretions but couldn't.
This is an acapella flutter valve you can get it online if your doctor office doesn't have it. They probably don't carry it. You don't need nebs.
Yep, as I posted, she said the neb helped a little, but, not nearly as much as she had hoped when she listened to my lungs afterwards.
And, yes, that's EXACTLY the problem. When this happens, I can cough myself silly, and the stuff just doesn't come up the way it needs to so I can stop coughing.
I've got this written down for next time. Thank you so very much!!! You're an angel...!!!

This kind of reminds me of a Minnie Mouse dress.
Gotta stop going to my Moms and taking her shopping.

Before we used to go hiking in the mountains, we used to take vitamin B12 to help increase the red blood cells for more oxygen supply at altitude.

Thank you for what you do, and thank you for caring. It is much appreciated, and I'm feeling much better.
Again, I'm usually very good about following up with any health issues that I have, or encounter. This time, I was just movin' along and not paying close enough attention. Things have been really busy lately and it just got away from me. I'll be much more attentive in the future.
Again, thank you so much for your input and concern. It is appreciated more than you know.

Oh gosh, my nieces would love those. They'd fight over them, but they'd love them.

My doctor tells me that nebs tend to help break up congestion in your lungs, but you probably would have been better off with decongestants and an inhaler. However, it probably didn't hurt, but didn't help as much as it helps asthmatics. An inhaler probably would have been fine.Yep, as I posted, she said the neb helped a little, but, not nearly as much as she had hoped when she listened to my lungs afterwards.

Next time, mucinex, sudafed, and rest will help, just pay attention! And then if you don't feel better, call a doctor
