A FEVER IS AN IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE TO A PATHOGEN (VIRUS, BACTERIA ETC..) IT MEANS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY....DONT USE DRUGS TO LOWER YOUR TEMP. |

A sgt. in motion outranks a lt. at rest. Forgive those who trespass against you, but remember the bastards name. Negotiating from a position of strength is best, but always have a clear line to the exits. Tracer rounds work both ways. You cannot conquer a free man. The most you can do, is kill him. |

User ID: 80638230 United States 11/22/2021 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am developing a little book of maxims for my son. Please help me to aggregate the best ones from our GLP family. :) Quoting: Mr Z Here are a few that have made it into the first draft: • Anything that keeps your attention is your master. • Never complain about what you permit. • Anything permitted increases. • Struggle is the proof that you have not been conquered. • A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. • Don’t be perfect, be creative. • Conversation with a like-minded individual will heal the soul. • A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. • Actions speak louder than words. • A watched pot never boils. • An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure. • Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. • Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom. • United we stand, divided we fall. • Necessity is the mother of invention. Above ALL else to thine own self be true The 14th Amendment was never ratified. Almost every breathing naturally born American is a slave. |

The best: Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in horto? Which translates as "Why should a man die when he has sage growing in his garden?" Sage increases the amount of bile released by the liver so you absorb more nutrients. |
