What arcade skills? I don't recall having them in the first place. What kind of computer were you thinking about getting Felipe? Also how much would you be looking to spend? I would seriously entertain the idea of helping you find a pc here if I felt like I could ship it to you without anything happening to it.

Introduction Malexander

Weren't there on or two Arcade games that you used to lay claim to? In fact here you were claiming victory in this post - oh how quickly we forget , check the last few Arcade Rants within that thread, you will see that I still remain soundly undefeated even though I do not even play.

With regards to Felipe's computer it would have to be something around 800-900 mhz. The last time I was able to get something like that shipped down was a few years ago, it cost about US$100 and the computer itself (everything) was not much more than that. That probably may be hard to find? I can build a new one here for around US$350, but cannot put out the funds at the moment. Something else that could probably work is just getting the motherboard / CPU with memory on board since that is where the big cost lies. However, really I am just being a little impatient here. I think it is best to try an accumulate the funds and get it here. Thanks.

Male,

If you decide to ship a PC to Felipe, do not use regular mail. I have done allot of ebay shipping through the USPS, and something happens very often. If its fragile and important and you must send it USPS and not UPS or FEDEX, then don't forget the insurance on it.

No, no, that is not an option worth pursuing. I have arranged via another computer specialist to have an older computer secured through a company that is conducting an upgrade of its' network locally. If the head honchos agree then everything should come up to about US$130.

Introduction Malexander

Anyone have any good remedies for pneumonia, other than rest? My wife was diagnosed yesterday with it, and while she is on medication, she is very sore and run down. I am home today with my son because she can't even get out of bed. Luckily I can work from home, somewhat.

Malexander Introduction

Malexander, I am sorry to hear about your wife. Just be very careful because some types of pneumonia are contagious. I found the following home remedies for it. I hope it helps.

Home Remedies for Pneumonia
Pneumonia treatment using Fenugreek
During the early acute stage of pneumonia, a tea made from fenugreek seeds will help the body to produce perspiration, dispel toxicity, and shorten the period of fever. Upto four cups of the tea can be taken daily. The quantity can be reduced as the condition improves. To improve the flavour of the tea, a few drops of lemon juice may be added. During this treatment, no other food or nourishment should be taken, as fasting and fenugreek will allow the body to correct these respiratory problems in a few days.

Pneumonia treatment using Garlic
Garlic is a marvellous remedy for pneumonia, if given in sufficient quantities. It brings down the temperature, as well as the pulse and respiration within forty-eight hours. A paste of garlic can also be applied externally on the chest with beneficial results as it is an irritant and rubefacient

Pneumonia treatment using Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are valuable in pneumonia. An infusion of the seeds can be made by steeping 15 gm of seeds in 250 ml of water. This infusion, mixed with a tablespoon of linseed, a pinch of common salt, and a dessertspoon of honey, should be given in the treatment of this disease. This will help remove catarrhal matter and phlegm from the bronchial tubes.

Pneumonia treatment using Parsnip Juice
The juice of parsnip, a root vegetable botanically known as Pastinaca sativa, has been found beneficial in the treatment of pneumonia. The juice of the leaves and root of this plant possess high therapeutic value. The phosphorus and chlorine elements contained therein are of particular benefit to the lungs and the bronchial system, thus making the juice an excellent home remedy for pneumonia. The patient should take 250 ml of juice daily. It is however, essential that only the juice of the cultivated parsnip plant should be used for this purpose. The wild variety must not be used in juices as it contains some poisonous ingredients.

Pneumonia treatment using Other vegetable Juices
The juice of carrots, in combination either with spinach juice, or beet and cucumber juices, has also been found useful in pneumonia. In these combinations, 200 ml of spinach juice or 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juices should be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of combined juice.

Pneumonia treatment using Turpentine Oil
The pain of pneumonia can be relieved by rubbing oil of turpentine over the rib cage and wrapping warmed cotton wool over it.

Pneumonia diet

Raw fruit and vegetable juices diet
At the beginning of the treatment the patient should be kept on a diet of raw juices for five to ten days, depending on the severity of the disease. He should take a glass of fruit or vegetable juice diluted with warm water, every two or three hours. After a diet of raw juices, when the fever subsides, the patient should spent three or four days on an exclusive fresh fruit diet, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits.
Well-balanced diet of natural foods
Thereafter, he may gradually adopt a well-balanced diet of natural foods, with emphasis on fresh fruits and raw vegetables.

Other Pneumonia treatment
Warm-water enema
The patient should be given a warn-water enema daily to cleanse the bowels during the period of raw juice therapy and the all-fruit diet, and thereafter when necessary.

Thanks for the info, LDS. She just woke up and is already feeling better. I think the extra sleep really helped her. I was just wondering if there were any remedies that members have used which seemed to work well, since I was beginning to worry a bit about her.

I'm so sorry to hear that your wife has pneumonia! Sure hope she gets to feeling better. It's a horrible disease, and quite dangerous. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,
Roz
