I also had airbrush problems. I sprayed acrylic for the first time and it clogged up my airbrush so bad it took me a half hour to clean it out. I just put in a new needle and tip so I hope I didn't do it any permanent damage. I think I'll be sticking with enamels.
 
Kiddo's got 103 temperature, strep throat, possible mono. Her throat hurts, so she won't take any medicine, and because it hurts, she starts cryin...which makes it hurt worse, which makes her cry more...just breaks a daddy's heart, ya know? Finally got her to fall asleep in my bed (hey, sleepin on the sofa's like camping, right?), but her breathing is so scratchy, and she still whimpers in her sleep. Had strep myself several times as a kid, so I know how she feels, which just makes me feel worse. She turns 3 tomorrow (Jan 3rd), what a crappy birthday.
 
Well, there is one thing, I've found....taking her to the ER because her temp climbed up and she was struggling to breathe, then having to help the ER nurses hold her down while they stuck an IV into her. She squirmed, they got it in on the third try. Then the little turd pulled the frikking thing out (after they'd taped it down). So they used an Ace bandage, wrapped up her free hand, then put it in a fourth time and used everythign except cement to hold it in place. All the while she's screaming about wanting to go home, and it hurts, and yeah, lemme tell you, that's pretty painful for a Dad, knowing how she feels but unable to spare her the pain and discomfort. We left the ER and got home around 4:15. Alarm goes off to get up for work around 6. Its gonna be a loooong day.

Sorry to hear this RA. I hope your daughter gets better soon

Damn RA, that sucks.
I sure hope your girl gets well ASAP, and that her next bday becomes totally wonderful for her.

My sucky thing today:
Stress related stomach issues all day, napping when I got home from work, because I was so dog-gone tired because of my stomach - and now I can't sleep. :p
 
Yeah, I'm a typical guy, emotional equivalent to a sea cucumber...but when you're holding on to your daughter, forcing her down to keep her from wiggling and she's screaming "it hurts!", holy crap, I nearly bawled. She's doing a little bit better this afternoon, asked for some OJ (one would think that would be sorta painful as it goes down, but she loves her OJ, so...), which was conveniently mixed with her antibiotics, and she's been sipping on that. Not out of the woods yet, but she's making some progress. Thanks for all the thoughts/prayers, guys!
 
Glad to hear your little one is doing better today. I'm sure she will be getting into mischief in no time;)

What annoyed me today, sudden and massive headache. Handfull of Ibuprofen should take care of that in no time.
