Are you capitalizing words randomly just to **** me off? It's working!

Whooping Cough
Went to my doctor last week for a checkup, and asked for a Tetanus booster since it had been a long time. I was informed that the Tetanus injection now also included the Whooping Cough serum in an all-in-one dose. The WC protection is expected to last me for life. I would not have gone out of my way for WC immunization. But if you are due for a Tet boost anyway you all might want to consider it. Ask your doctor.

Bordetella is not good for your dog, it is not good for you. It is slightly different in each species.

Both of you will survive, but you can spread it around if you have it, and an infant CAN die from the disease. So can the elderly.

That shot combination is a good idea, since you wouldn't go out of your way to get it otherwise.

It gave me a sore arm, which is normal, but I think it also inflamed my hip joint on the same side. I had a bit of pain walking for just the next day, then was normal after that.

I did not know Pertussis was related to Bordatella. One of our past dogs had Bordatella, and her throat never seemed the same after that.

Doin' great Gail. How's Jack?
Topeka?? You have got it bad.

Jack is good. He bounces around the house like the pup that he thinks he is.

That's news to me also. We just had a bout of bordatella with our pup Molly. She was coughing her poor little head off for nearly a week.

Anthony does that nonsense in every post he types, so not only does it p!ss you off, but others as well.

He hasn't learned...that only certain words are capitalized in sentences, proper names...for example

In some of his posts he types certain words using all capital letters for emphasis, instead of typing the words in italics.

I can just imagine what his grade in Englsh is. Prolly no better than a D.

I dunno, Bill, they pass kids out of university nowadays with that level of skill.

It's a different world, and one in which the nation is going to have an increasingly difficult time competing.

have a quick question for you guys. I have a broken bolt in my exhaust manifold and getting it fixed would be 150. and the guy said more bolts could break off in the process. Do you guys think i should just replace the manifold with headers or just keep it stock?

Kind of depends on whether you want headers or not. It's not that big a job to replace those studs. I assume you mean the studs where the exhaust pipe flange attaches. If they are removing the manifold to do it then they can drill out both (or 3 whichever it takes) about as fast as just one.

You could just go for a replacement manifold.

I don't know why he says more bolts could break in the process of drilling out the one. Kinda sounds like a crock to me, unless he's saying more might break off when he tries to remove the manifold from the head.

My opinion on headers is unless you're going to spring for a really nice set don't buy them. The cheapo's always seem to leak at the head because the mounting flanges are so thin.

he has to take the manifold off to replace the gasket and other bolts could break off in that process, he said he would sell me a pair of hooker headers for 250 if i wanted to switch them out. the manifold has a weld in it from where it looked like it had been cracked before.

Yeah, that's pretty tough to fix...cast isn't easy to weld in the first place, and once it's been done and cracked I think it's best to chuck it and get another one.

I'm sure you could find one for less than the 250 bucks the headers are going to cost

That is The way I Type, and How I Speak, I do it Because I Like The way Certain Letter's Look Capitalized. I am The Smartest Kid in My English Class, 'n Have alway's Been in advanced English Classes, I Know, it's a Bad Habit, I Need To Break it. I should learn to type like this, but, for some strange reason, it bothers me.

I'm sure your future employers will love this little quirk of yours.

It just makes your writing difficult for others to read. And I find you so interesting that I don't want to miss anything.
