I think that actually all I'm doing is increasing my body temperature to the point where I kill 99% of whatever's making me sick, and then the remaining 1% has to take several hours to get back to making me sick.storm wrote:Ice works better. The problem with the bath is that while it may momentarily increase surface epithelial temperature and reduce core temperature as a means to equalize core with surface temp, you can't put that much of a dent in core temp by going higher unless you try taking a bath in dangerously hot water...then instead of a fever, you have a partial thickness burn.Emotional Leper wrote:Whenever it goes up I just go lay in a really hot bathtub for a few hours, and when I get out I feel better for a while, and then my temperature starts to climb again. Right now it's just over 100.

There may be just as many in the US as the UK, but the UK is only the size of Florida, maybe a little smaller. We have more accents per square mile than anywhere else.thefirst wrote:I think there are just as many here, most people just fail to notice the differencesLoremaster wrote:Highest density of accent types in the UK.thefirst wrote:I have to agree with your statement about accents

I feel good. . . I'm getting trade credit at my bro's game shop for hanging out and posting at the watch. I think I'm going to take home an expansion for Carcassonne.

I have a North American Accent.
Also a Canadian Accent
Any Canadian listening to me, would be able to tell I am from Nova Scotia.
Any Nova Scotian would place me as a Haligonian...and anyone from the Halifax area would know that I'm from the Eastern Shore.
Actually, Nova Scotia being a very small provence, is a hotbed of Accents.
The South Shore has a drawl like that of New Enlganders.
Having a strong Acadian history, there are french Accents similar to that of the French Quarter in New Orleans...only not so laid back..more snooty sounding.
There are still lots of people on Cape Bretton Islasnd who speak Gaelic, and have the accent to-boot..and the rest of the people on Cape Bretton, speak as though they were from Newfoundland.
And of course, the Native Americans have their own accent too.

Ooooh! I love Carcassonne. CMJ and I have all the expansions. What I've been trying to do, though, is combine the tiles and rules for Big Box Carcassonne and Hunters and Gatherers but nobody seems eager to play it. I realize it's a little overboard but it may be fun to try if only once.Wyldewode wrote:I I think I'm going to take home an expansion for Carcassonne.

Pfft. Until you've spoken to a Brummy, a Scouser, a Geordie, a Glaswegian, a Welshman, a Cockney, and someone from the West Country (do they have a name?) you don't know what different accents even are.drew wrote:Accents are subjective.CovenantJr wrote:There may be just as many in the US as the UK, but the UK is only the size of Florida, maybe a little smaller.

I'd play, as long as you'd do the scoring! Actually, I have the following: Carcassonne, Inns and Cathedrals, King & Scout, The Princess and the Dragon, The Castle, and two different special expansions for it that I don't know the name. One of them was a German one which was included in a gaming magazine. It's good to have a brother that owns a game store.bloodguard bob wrote: Ooooh! I love Carcassonne.

When I do visit (and I can clearly see I will have to!) we can all play Carcassonne!

In The Mother Tongue, Bill Bryson describes Cockney and Boontling as separate dialects. Personally, I think the entire concept is genius.Emotional Leper wrote:I have it on good authority that Cockney is a separate language.
