<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 30174, member: 44"]I'm sorry not having replied back to this thread yesterday. DH hasn't been feeling good since Thanksgiving. Yesterday finally put my foot down and insisted on him going to the doctor. The diagnoses was bronchitis bordering on pneumonia. The doctor ordered complete bed rest, antibiotics, fluids and scolded him for not using his oxygen. He does have COPD. Gee, dealing with a sick member of the male gender of our species isn't easy. They either deny anything is wrong or they moan and groan over every ache and pain. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>>Simple rule of thumb is if it's later than 1800, for interesting subjects, or 1700 for boring ones, the likely market is as decor.<</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, Af.
