Borrowed some appropriate tools (vacuum with HEPA filter, long handle&hose) and vacuumed around my ceiling fans, the vertical blinds, behind the PC, etc. So much damn dust. Ugh.

Not finished either, need some of it to settle so I can swifter/wipe more sensitive surfaces, plus I still have more blinds and another room to do. :(

Wonder if this was aggravating my mild flu-like symptoms?

do you constantly smell bacon, ham, or pork chops, as if someone was cooking such food constantly? Lick yourself, do you taste it?

It was swine flu, never had a fever. Sore throat, moved to a stuffy nose and a head full of snot, to a cough, which has been improving the last few days. Not sure of the antibiotics from the doc's had anything to do with it at all though.

I have an original Meade ETX and am paranoid about dust getting on / it.

you hate yourself?

I know, its disturbing, isn't it?

You should set up a steel cylinder with a little bench in it where you can scrub your skin and hair until you bleed, weeping inside that you will never be as genetically perfect as your brother, forced to live in the shell of a life left behind by a crippled genius.

You could collect other people's dust and make paper out of it. Paper made from the skin of humans. :Q

Yo. It's reality. We're dirt. The only disturbing element is what you've constructed to believe in your mind.

You should've wear a dust mask while you were cleaning, to shield your nose and mouth from the dust.

keep the equip around for a week, and do it again a few times.

it'll be necessary. just once is not enough to clean up a truly filthy area.

that's the thing, on all the servers I play on dust NEVER comes up. Office is definitely overplayed though.

Why would the doctor give you antibiotics for a virus?
