Hot whiskey and lemon then.

As much as I like whiskey, I prefer rum for a hot toddy and as others have said, don't forget the honey!

Please excuse my long absence - I've just had a coronary bypass operation.  I expect I'll feel more like posting soon. 
Hot whisky and lemon cures almost everything, but the buggers won't give you any in hospital.  I had a couple of blood transfusions, but do you thing they'd put any in the bag?

I know an old farmer who had a bourbon IV put in for heart surgery and recovery. Had to to keep him from shaking.

Welcome back! It makes my hip replacement sound pretty trivial. Get back to your old self soon.

So long as it's flammable it'll work.

Very glad to see you back, and your safe exit from the hospital is splendid news. :party:

My computer has a 480GB SD, and 8TB & a 3TB HD
The operating system partion gets 60GB, and there's a 60GB MY Docs/installed programs partition.
That's plenty, music, movies, TV and bulky stuff goes elsewhere.
A program called SandBlastBackup created a 30GB folder on the My Docs partition and I was getting out of space warnings, it wanted more.
Of course I can't just delete the folder, I'm a passenger not the driver of my computer.
Apparently this is done in case my computer gets kidnapped but I never asked them to do it.
If something like this happened what is the good of this precaution?  There's no user interface, if there was I would of uninstalled it, how would I invoke a recovery via a mystery program? Google searches provided nothing.  I use Zone Alarm as a fire wall, it's related to that I assume.
Disabling services, starting in safe mode and deleting the folder seems to have tamed it but, WTF.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

So what does hot petrol with lemon and honey taste like?
