I have had a headache for the past 3 days and nothing will take the pain away. I thought I was maybe getting a sinus infection (never had one) so I went and got some meds and they don't help. I have tried HeadOn and it just burned my forehead. Took a percocet last night and that didn't even take the pain away, I just didn't give a crap about the pain. LOL. Today I have taken 2400mg of ibprofen and one dose of sinus stuff. The pain is in the center of my forehead. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I could take??? I need help, I can't deal with this that much longer. I feel like I am going to rub a hole in my forehead from rubbing it so much to make the pain go away.

You mean you are supposed to sleep with your spouse
now someone tells me........
I have increased my fluid intake, so thats not it. My neck is also sore and my temp is up to about 99*, I usually am 97* (I am cold blooded). Other than that no other symptoms. I am at a loss and hate to go to the doctor.

Lisa I would suggest getting a 1990s to 2000s utility tractor. You are getting more tractor for the money compared to the sub-compact tractors. If you don't mind Lisa could you tell me what your ideal price range for the tractor is, what you are going to use the tractor for, what extras you want(ex: cab, 4-wd, mower, rototiller, ect.) how far are you willing to drive to pickup the tractor.
Lisa I may have found a nice tractor for you. Take a look 2001 John Deere 4100

I bought my truck for $13,000 and even that was painful. Jacob the tractor will just be used for hobby farm purposes, maybe for pushing a little snow around. I'll only be farming a few acres, nothing big. I'd like to use it to pull a mow deck too, or some type of lawn-cutting attachment. 4wd would be good, so would a tiller. Cab is not necessary.
I was thinking, more along the lines of a suitable "fix-up" tractor that I can buy for a few grand and put a little elbow grease into and have a nice machine I can use for work here and there and leave my ATV for fun purposes. I'd say $4,000 is probably max price range. I know, I want somethin for nothin. Its just my personality. I have plenty of time to find the perfect tractor.
lol. I'm from one of those places where 50 degrees is considered seasonably warm. 20 degrees? A good pair of gloves and a jacket will do. Snow and -10? A good snowsuit, a pair of Sorels, and a hat!

I'm thinking you might be all out of whack, and its causing muscle strain. You might try going to a chiropractor.

I hear you Jeremy on your NASCAR comments. Love the sport, very interesting to see the progression over the years. I used to go to the track in Riverside CA to watch the race back in the 80's as a kid, and the new Fontana track is built practically in my folks' backyard. Not too impressed with the new track though, cookie cutter track with no character. My family and I want to catch a Bristol race one of these days.
Love Drags also for the same reasons you said as well. Walking the pits are the best attraction still.

Most tractors from 1970 on up have glow plugs or a plugin block heater. The white smoke is the cylender wall scratched due to over use of ether. Ether basically de-lubricates the cylender making the engine easier to turn over, but over time scratches develop in the cylender wall and once the tractor gets the ether out of it's system the scratches allow oil to get into the combustion chamber causing white smoke. And as crazy as it might sound tractors get addicted to ether. Lisa I would suggest getting a 1990s to 2000s utility tractor.

I sorta like the old tractors. They are..I dunno cool, and old! Iowa would be great, but, that is farm land and tractors probably go for more there. IL, KS, NE or surrounding states would work too. Or if any of you find a good one you can haul it out to me and stay for a week and party with Randy and I and I can pay for your fuel. lol.
This one sure is the right price, but has the skinny front that Leo warned against. 1946 Case Tractor
I would imagine if I get moved and introduce myself to the farmers around there, one of them will find me one through the grapevine.

4 grand Canadian? Is that still about 3500 US? Yeah, but then ya gotta get it across the border. I sold one of my TB Super Coupes to a man from your neck of the woods Sheldon and he went through Hell getting it back into Canada.

I'm surprised at so many pages of tractor talk. Jacob must be enjoying himself.
Lisa, it sounds like you're looking for a Ford 8N or 9N tractor. You should be able to find one that is reliable (relatively for something that old), has the cool factor, and will probably be in the 1,500-3,000 range.

Ether is a HUGE sin to use on tractors in my uncles farm. And Lee that tractor that wouldn't start at 80* is severly addicted to ether.
Lisa thanks for the added info I will start searching for a tractor. Hows this http://www.fastline.com/v100/details...b-cd2f2e642d21
