- Excellent food and service.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014The food degree was excellent. It was a great choice of both fish and land issues. The servent was great with recommendations and additional successes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GreatRickyVIPDined on 11/21/2014Again my wife and I had dinner at the Chart House. Always a great place! We had an outstanding view and our food was a 10! Had a bottle of wine with dinner and loved every slip. We love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!SantaRosaGareVIPDined on 11/16/2014We have dined here previously and we have always had good food, and good service. Husband had the salad bar, filet and a bake potato. I started with the crab cake and then had the crab stack. Yes, I had my fill of seafood. Everything was very fresh. The views are amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic, Scenic, and Divine Seafood!SeafoodLover86Dined on 11/15/2014Amazing ambiance with a beautiful view of Monterey. Brandon provided wonderful service for my birthday! Everything my boyfriend and I had was very flavorful including the lobster bisque and best of shrimp. The crab cakes were divine, they were basically all crab and fell apart the moment you forked into it. I debated between here and Sardine Factory and glad I picked this spot with many more seafood options. Would definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SandySandyDined on 11/13/2014Excellent dinner! Friendly server, beautiful view of Monterey bay at night. A very nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the viewDebbieDined on 11/11/2014Good location if you are visiting the canary row area. Nice menu and beautiful view of the ocean.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good SeafoodRoboZoomDined on 11/7/2014The restaurant sits scenically right on Monterey Bay, and most of the seats have an ocean side view. As an appetizer we had the Crab/Avocado/Shrimp/Mango stack. It was well balanced and very tasty. For the main, I had blackened snapper which was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My date had the parmesan crusted snapper over a bed of pasta, and my choice was definitely the better of the two. The wine list is also nice, though I wouldn't expect anything exceptional from the bar cocktails. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again for a special occasion.Special Features:
- Dinner on the BaydrshortroundDined on 11/6/2014This is THE place for fine dining in Monterey! Make a reservation and show up early for a glass of wine at the bar and request a window seat! Fabulous seafood combined with a stupendous view is what to expectSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, good foodFeedMeSeymourDined on 11/5/2014The avocado mango crab appetizer was a really good start, huge so perfect to share. Caesar salad was a little limp, but the dressing was spot on. Very nice Prime Rib, roasted veggies were the sour note in the food. Dessert was good, lava cake with toffee. Only really off thing was out waitress - overloaded or forgetful or both. Disappeared a lot.Special Features:
- Engagement dinnerKipperDined on 11/3/2014I'll keep it short and sweet. The staff made out engagement dinner even more special for my fiancé and I. The food, service and ambiance was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fit for a QueenMaggieDined on 11/3/2014My King took his Queen for a romantic foodie experience that we try to do every couple of years on our fixed income. I love the food presentation and the great tastes and the spectacular view. Thank you.Special Features:
- SUNDAY DININGGolfguyDined on 11/2/2014My wife & I had a great experience dining at the Chart House in Monterey. From the time you enter the door, until you are ready to leave, the service and friendly staff were amazing!! Would highly recommend the Lobster Bisque. Filet & Lobster tail were fabulous!!Special Features:
- Wonderful spotFoodluvrDined on 11/2/2014We had a wonderful meal...I thoroughly enjoyed the scallops and my husband loved the chowder and tilapia. Our servers gave us the perfect amount of attention.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not What I RememberTopGuy101Dined on 11/1/2014Several years ago, our concierge made reservations for us here and our dinner experience was excellent. We returned this year with expectations of another great year. Unfortunately, this visit failed badly. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail. Previously, it was five prawns atop of a glass chalice. In the chalice was a traditional shrim cocktail sauce with rock shrimp. It was almost a meal in itself. This order consisted of five prawns atop a slotted silver grate hiding dry ice. Management stated it was a corporate decision to change to this for presentation purposes. Bad move. Unfortuanatley, there are not enough characters available to provide my displeasure. But all of our plates had either changed or just lacked flavor.Special Features:
- Best night ever!1stInLineDined on 11/1/2014This was the best dining experience my wife and I have ever had on our anniversary. We will dine here again for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best view of Monterey BayBingLDined on 10/31/2014Fantastic food, best salad bar anywhere, simply a satisfying but unpretentious fine food restaurant.Special Features:
- Fit for a wedding nightBubwatersDined on 10/27/2014My wife and I chose the Chart House for our wedding night meal. As our wedding was informal, we also wanted something quiet, romantic, somewhat informal yet still a fine dining experience. I was a bit worried at first since I'm strictly turf but let me tell you, the Fillet Mignon was as good (if not a tad better) than any high end steakhouse I've visited in the past. We really hit it out of the park with the Chart House! My wife wanted a table at a restaurant with a water view and wow, what a view it was! Everyone in my party left happy and inspired by the view and service. Only complaints were that of painfully full stomachs. The Chart House will now be my secret excuse to get out of San Jose and visit Monterey more often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chart House-Superb!BigMikeDined on 10/26/2014This is a mainstay for us when we visit Monterey Bay. It is always consistently good with food and usually the service is equal. A window seat adds further to the dining experience. Exotic light fixtures and rich, full wood ceilings throughout make The Chart House a lovely visual experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celebrating 24 years of marriage!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/26/2014Love the Chart House! Beautiful view, great food, and awesome music! This is me and my wife's favorite! Always come here for our anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing view!ManhattanVIPDined on 10/25/2014Such a beautiful spot to dine! A bit pricey for what you get but the view makes it worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceMVBillDined on 10/25/2014We have been going to Chart Houses for thirty years. The one in Monterey is one of our favorites. It is great that it is still in business and still providing a solid dining experience. We were given a great table with a scenic view of the Monterey Bay. Even saw a few otters frolicking in the water. Great service and the food was very good. Price was very reasonable.Special Features:
- Wonderful experienceCharthouseDined on 10/25/2014We do not get to the Chart house often. Only when we are visiting Monterey, so it's always special when we do dine there. The view, food and service was as always, the best.Special Features:
- Excellent Dining ExperienceluvgoodfoodDined on 10/21/2014great food but at a price. expect to spend some dollars if you go here. excellent food and the service was very attentive and never had to look for anyone to bring us things.Special Features:
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/20/2014Restaurant was fantastic. Food and service were very good. We celebrated 3 birthdays and will be going back in DecemberSpecial Features:
- Anniversary DinnerOldstersluv2dineDined on 10/19/2014We have been to the Chart House before, for our Anniversary dinner, so we were not new to this restaurant. We received our special menus with the Anniversary greeting at the top..always makes you feel extra special, that they took the time out to make and print out these special menus for your occasion. The food is always excellent, and we always get the window table, when we make our reservations in advance. Excellent service and wonderful food. We will be back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a viewTheRegularDined on 10/19/2014We've been here on several occasions, but this time we lucked out with the best view in the house. Watched wild dolphin play while we ate - so wonderful! My elderly parents were thrilled. Thanks, CH.Special Features:
- Service was not what we expectedFoodEnthusiastDined on 10/18/2014We've been to Chart House before and had an outstanding experience from the food to the service to the ambiance. The food is delicious! The salad bar, clam chowder, seafood dishes and desserts are very tasty and well prepared. This visit wasn't as great as past ones solely because of our server. She either hovered or was nowhere to be found. We also brought wine from home and our server offered to decant them but she didn't pour for us. We were left to do that on our own which we felt was unacceptable for the caliber of this restaurant and price you pay here. We spoke to a manager and will definitely go back but it was unfortunate that this visit wasn't as great as previous ones just because of our server.Special Features:
- A bit over pricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/17/2014The price was a bit high for two. The priced didn't mstch the food quality or quantity.
- Poor EperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/17/2014Long wait. Food poorly cooked. Vegetables cold. Food tasted dry. Entree tasted like it sat under a heat lamp. Will never come back. Not worth the cost.Special Features:
- Excellent salad bar and dessertbirthdaytimeDined on 10/17/2014I was my husband's birthday. We enjoyed an excellent salad bar and complimentary dessert. We enjoy the atmosphere and the food is always top notch. Our waitress was a little slow this time around. She appeared to be pre-occupied and repeated herself when returning to our table. Overall it was a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view and food from Monterey.BruceTexasVIPDined on 10/16/2014What an excellent selection of seafood. The salad bar is fantastic. I wish my wife could have enjoyed it with me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We have never eaten there before, we will definitely eat there again. We both had a seafood dish. I couldn't decide what to get but Jordan, our waiter, helped me make a delicious decision...grilled white sea bass topped with lump crab. Amazing... My husbands crab stuffed shrimp was equally as delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I"m divorced with one teenager at home so normally if my son is at his dad's I'll make no effort at all--either a frozen Healthy Choice dinner (which probably isn't all that healthy or satisfying) or make a sandwich. But this week he is gone from last Sat. to this Friday and I thought that I can't go 4 weeknights in a row not eating well. So last night I went to the gourmet market on the way home. Last night for dinner I made myself a spinach salad with chicken, dried cranberries, apples, and walnuts with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. It was really good.

If DH were out of town something with onions. He hates onions and cannot even stand the smell so I never cook with them.
If he was just out for the evening probably something with chicken. I like it a lot more than he does so I usually limit it to only two dinners a week.
|Tue, 06-18-2013 - 9:54pm
I'm often alone at home for dinner n Friday nights, and I usually just raid the fridge for leftovers and make myself something with them. Often it's a frittata.
Ooooh, I haven't made a frittata in a long time. I need to put that on the meal plan soon.

I am a widowed empty nester. I am all alone for dinner seven days a week.
(Well, during the school year I pick up my grandson from school two days a week and take them dinner.)
My health and well-being depend on my eating well. I cook stuff. Fresh stuff. Heavy on the vegetables and light on the meat. I try new recipes, not having to worry if other family members will like it.

Arky is 3-4 for the season. I don't see them winning 3 of their remaining 5 games to become bowl eligible. This is their bowl game for the season, so I'm looking for them to play us closer than I would normally expect. Prediction: 27-3 Bama.

Seems like Arkansas always plays us tough at home, but I really think this year could be different. Our guys seem to be hitting their stride, improving week to week, and this Arkansas team is horrible:

I'll go with 41-6. Enjoy your lesson in big-boy football Mr. Bielema.

Can't see it being close, Arky has no passing game to speak of, 42-3.
38 to 7.

I Have Dengue Fever
Sayulita, Mexico
The virus started with a fever, chills, and headaches. Suddenly my hands & feet erupted with red dots and began to hurt. I was infected with Dengue Fever & didn't know it.
Dengue Fever is a tropical virus spread by mosquitos. There is no cure or real treatment, and it kills over 25,000 people a year. It's a serious disease that can leave you bed-ridden for weeks.
I first knew something was wrong when I woke up Sunday morning with one of my worst hangovers ever. The previous night I'd been out chowing down on
delicious brain tacos and drinking with my friends Dave and Morgan.
A hangover would seem normal, right?
But I'd only had one beer and two margaritas. While the margaritas were strong, they weren't THAT strong. This felt like I'd drunk a whole bottle of tequila and was hit by a truck on the way home. There were pounding headaches that lasted all day, cold chills in 90 degree weather, and muscle pain all over my body. I was a mess.
Dengue Fever Symptoms
My day was spent hiding under blankets in my bedroom in a fever-induced haze. I was sure the women behind the bar had spiked my drink with something. But why didn't they follow through and take advantage of me?? At least then the hangover would've been worth it…
Something didn't make sense.
The next day my fever was gone. The headaches were gone. I felt better. In fact I felt so good I decided to go surfing.
The waves were the best I'd seen them! But walking down to the beach barefoot with my surfboard is when I first noticed the pain. My feet were really sore…
My fingertips hurt too. Trying to attach my GoPro to the surfboard was difficult, it felt like I was grabbing thumbtacks. After an hour of riding the waves I gave up. My hands and feet were in a lot of pain.
Facebook to the Rescue
I knew something was wrong when I couldn't tie my shoes because the pain was so bad. Red dots started appearing all over my hands and feet. I described my symptoms on Facebook asking for advice. A few people mentioned the possibility of Dengue.
So I borrowed a friend's car and drove myself to the closest hospital the next town over. The staff sent me to the emergency room where I proceeded to wait for 4 hours in freezing cold AC while people puked up their lunch around me.
Compared to everyone else waiting for treatment, my ailment wasn't an emergency. Locals streamed in with broken arms, legs, kids puking up yellow goo, and women in labor. Other than painful hands and feet due to capillaries bursting under my skin, I felt fine. So I gave up and left.
Testing for Dengue
The following day I drove 25 minutes to the town of Bucerias on the recommendation of fellow blogger Christine, whose husband had been infected with the disease. But the doctor didn't have voicemail, or a website, and it turned out he was closed from 2pm-6pm.
When I returned later that evening, he was still closed even though his sign said he should be open. Another wasted afternoon. But when you travel in foreign countries, simple tasks aren't always that easy.
I returned yet again, this time in the morning, and described my symptoms to Dr. Mauro. He was a very pleasant man who spoke excellent English. He seemed doubtful it was Dengue, because most people suffer a lot more than I had. But he sent me across the street to have bloodwork done just in case.
An hour later I returned with the results. Dengue Fever.
My platelet count was low, but not so low that hospitalization was required. Severe cases of Dengue are called "hemorrhagic fever" and can result in internal bleeding, low blood pressure, and death.
Feeling Much Better!
The doctor told me I must have a very strong immune system to only suffer one day of fever — normally people are out for a week, or require hospitalization. There's no real medical treatment for Dengue Fever other than rest, hydration, and lots of bug spray to prevent mosquitos from spreading the disease to others.
So over the last week I've been sleeping a lot while making sure to drink plenty of water and fresh-fruit smoothies. Papaya fruit in particular is rumored to increase blood platelets faster than normal.
I've been very tired over the last week, but other than that I'm fine. My fingers and toes have healed up. No more signs of fever or headaches either. No rashes. My dengue experience was a mild one, and I feel pretty damn lucky.
Tonight I fly to Costa Rica to explore for a week, taking it easy for the first few days with nature walks & dolphin watching.

Your post is dated but I've been online looking for food stuffs because I was diagnosed with Dengue this week in Bangkok. Found your post and decided to share my story. Mild case (comparatively) but following a timeline and symptoms not unlike yours. Out with friends…, drank a few too many but not so many…, well, like you told it. The next day felt like Armageddon then day 2 felt so badly I knew it was time to go to the hospital. Personal diagnosis confirmed by a medical professional.
Have lived here 4 years and been lucky. Guess it caught up with me. The joints feel like they've been glued into immobility mode. Stomach has recovered but the first 2-3 days was not good. Have a few broken capillaries on feet but none on hands. The itching is bad and the headache directly behind my eyes feels like someone is trying to push my eyeballs out of their sockets!
On the mend but can relate to your post and those who have posted after. My local fruit vendor on wheels should be by any time now and I'll be buying a few pieces of Papaya. Blender positioned on counter in kitchen.
Funny, I quip with friends back in US that the local mosquito is one of the most aggressive, elusive, able to cloak themselves into invisible mode like a Klingon Bird of Prey and they just laugh. The Tiger Mosquito is an insect to be reckoned with and care must be taken in the tropics!

Hi Matthew,
Why isn't there dates on the posts?
MarieJune 10, 2014
I got dengue twice in two consecutive years! My first time hit me really badly. I was losing hair and I felt very lethargic! Considering that I'm 15 this year, my immune system did a great job in my recovery. And I live in Singapore, a tropical country where mosquitoes are found everywhere.
However,I heard that kiwi juice, papaya leaves and Chinese medicine are cures of this nasty infection!
In Chinese, the fever is translated into inflammed bones, that we are very Heaty at that point of time.
Everyday I live in fear or getting bitten again. Perks of living in a tropical country!

You are so so lucky not to have suffered too badly with it, I was diagnosed on the 8th of April 2014, after a returning home from Bali the week before. I suffered really badly, to the point of 40 degree fevers for almost a week, excruciating bone stabbing pain, especially in my orbital bones, I could only sleep for the first week, barely able to walk the 5 steps to my bathroom.. Vomiting anything I did try to eat or drink, losing 6.5 kgs in the first week. The second week was almost as bad, my hands & feet swelled up, a rash completely covered my hands feet, arms & legs, so bad that I couldn't walk or open or hold anything & was bright red.. That was 4 weeks ago now & the skin has just finished peeling off my hands & is is now peeling off my feet. I have never felt so terrible in my life ever.. GP said it was the worst case that he had ever seen.. Six weeks after onset and I still don't feel right, I have good & bad days, get tired really easily & struggle to walk any distance at all, I get really short of breath… I wouldn't wish this illness on anyone, it's been a terrible experience & has effected my whole family, my husband couldn't work, he had to care for our kids & for me. My kids thought their Mummy was going to die & were so scared to wake me or cuddle me, because I was so sick & sore.. Good luck for the rest of your travels… One bite can cause so many issues…
Escape HunterJanuary 5, 2014
Terrible to read about your experience. At now I know so many details about how it really is (from someone who's been through it).
Take care, mate!
Mike | EarthdrifterDecember 24, 2013
I always worry about Dengue but maybe I'm not typically in an infected area long enough to really increase my chances. *Knock on wood* It appears as if it's on the rise worldwide, sadly.
Eating raw garlic (which has many other benefits) can keep mosquitoes away, along with rubbing citronella oil on the skin. Keep the spray with you though as some of the nastier mosquitoes are immune to these otherwise wonderful natural substances.
CarmenDecember 21, 2013
You poor thing!
A friend I was talking to last night had dengue fever twice. The second time her liver nearly shutdown and she was in a coma! Scary stuff. Glad you're ok.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Oh wow. That's hardcore. I'll have to make sure I don't get it again…
RobbyDecember 20, 2013
hi !
nice post ! i heard somewhere in India that papaya fruit is good for blood count and papaya leafs juice is another faster tip for in-cress plate late count rather then any thing else. Try it.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Yup, my papaya fruit smoothies were just what the doctor ordered. Literally. :D
Rand @WellTraveledMileDecember 19, 2013
Wow that does not look good, get well soon man!
BarbaraDecember 17, 2013
Wow, glad to hear that it was not a severe case you had, that can be really serious. Sounds like it made you feel bad enough as it was!! Keep the bug spray on from now on just to be sure.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Bug spray is now part of my morning ritual Barbara. With special attention to the feet/ankles. They love that area for some reason…
Alana - Paper PlanesDecember 14, 2013
Ah – you're the fifth person I know who has gotten dengue in the past three months. The rest were all in Chiang Mai – it's bad here this year :/ Feel better!
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Damn! Sounds like a global outbreak. Stay safe over there Alana.
TripmarkDecember 11, 2013
Very funny blog post (not the part about you having Dengue!) I have heard people have died from this so when I read you were surfing and going about your day, I was very surprised, how IS your immune system so strong?
Regardless glad you are getting better.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
My theory is that because I expose myself to all kinds of germs/bugs on a regular basis, it gets stronger. But who knows. Maybe cheesecake & cookies have immune system health benefits?
FraukjeDecember 11, 2013
Yes, that's bad. many of my friends had dengue. Never really knew it came with red dots, though. But luckily no first hand experience :)
lucyDecember 11, 2013
That's so terrifying man but i am glad you are okay. I never knew that mosquitos' spread any other disease apart from malaria.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Those things are dangerous! More dangerous than most animals. Don't be scared of crocodiles & bears, fear the lowly mosquito…
TammyOnTheMoveDecember 11, 2013
You poor thing! Many of my friends in Cambodia had Dengue fever and they all felt awful too. It is called the bone-breaker flu here, because your bones ache so badly. Glad you are on the mend again!
JonathanDecember 10, 2013
Dengue sure isn't something to play around with! Here in Matagalpa Nicaragua where I live there has been a major outbreak of it and there have already been quite a few deaths reported. Most of the deaths were older people and children but it is very sad and the sickness is not fun to have at all!
The good thing is that the city officials here in Matagalpa are taking this dengue thing seriously and are constantly spraying and doing everything possible to try and kill as many mosquitoes as possible.
I got sick one time here and I went to the doctor and they said it was dengue but I am not sure. All I had was fever aching and dizziness for about a week.
It looks like what you had was pretty bad!
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
This is why we should all love bats. Nature's mosquito control system. More bats!
Don MowerDecember 9, 2013
Glad to here you are on the mend. Take care, be safe and enjoy you adventures. Merry Christmas.
Don and Lynda
Rashad PharaonDecember 9, 2013
Wow! Really glad you were able to overcome it so quickly. I'm prepping for a trip to SE Asia (Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam) and the vaccination doc scared the crap out of me with horror stories about malaria. Looks like you're living proof that "deadly" diseases are always necessarily as bad as we're led to believe.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Yeah, something similar happened to me when I first left on my trip. Doctors at home seem to over-hype the dangers of foreign diseases. Sure they can be deadly sometimes, but most people who get them recover. It's not the end of the world.
PabloDecember 5, 2013
Crazy, good to hear your immune system handled it like a champ!
I ran into a couple of backpackers last year who had it. They were both out for about a week. Wild
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
It seems I might have given it to a friend here in town too (via mosquito sharing). Maybe when I borrowed her car to drive to the hospital. Her case was a bit worse than mine…
MichaelDecember 5, 2013
Being (really) sick on the road is one of our biggest concerns. Lucky to date we haven't had anything more than a cold or a hangover (that's a sickness right?).
Glad you only got a mild dose. Nothing worse than being stuck in bed for weeks!
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Sure it is! Yeah, I think this makes 3 times I've been really sick in 3 years of travel. So that's not too bad. I was overdue.
AyngelinaDecember 5, 2013
Rotten luck, I hope you get better soon!
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Feeling much better now. The smoothies helped. :)
The CurmudgeonDecember 4, 2013
Glad you're getting better. Red dots on your extremities. Hmm. Smoothies are nice, but you really need a Moxie or two. There is nothing like a Moxie to cure everything. Lets not forget the poor mosquito, too. Probably writhing in pain from attacking a gringo. Everyone forgets the poor bug.
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Best prescription medicine I've ever used.
Chris - Part Time VagabondDecember 4, 2013
Well, that's only slightly scary! Glad you're ok and healing up. I wonder if there's anything more you can do to prevent Dengue other than bug spray.
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Not that I know of unfortunately.
LaryssaDecember 4, 2013
That sounds terrifying, I honestly didn't know Dengue was a possibility in Mexico. Glad you're on the mend.
Did you even remember getting bitten by the mosquito?
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
I've been bitten by quite a few mosquitos here, not sure which one was the culprit.
Derek CullenDecember 4, 2013
Seriously, unless you're hiding something you handled that LIKE A BOSS!! Fair play, luckily I've never had anything like it although I'm about to cycle into Malaria zone now in Africa eeek
What were the possibilities had you not gone to the doc?
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Really, not much different if I hadn't gone to a doctor, but at least I knew for sure what it was. And knew that I wouldn't need hospitalization.
YvonneDecember 4, 2013
Oh wow. So glad you feel better! I've read about Dengue some more after I saw your status on FB … Guess what: one symptom is hair loss! Just imagine! :D <3
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
So THAT is what happened! I must have been infected for years!
RafaelDecember 4, 2013
Glad to hear your feeling better. I have been following along. Stay away from the mosquitos in Costa Rica. Just hang out inside bars with A/C and you should be fine.
Matthew KarstenDecember 11, 2013
Ha! Now why would I go to Costa Rica to hang out in bars Rafael? :D
AmandaDecember 4, 2013
Yikes! I've actually heard of quite a few people getting hit with Dengue recently. Scary stuff.
But lucky you – it sounds like you didn't have it bad at all! Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Mike(NomadicTexan)December 4, 2013
Glad to hear you are up and around, but take it easy. You don't want a relapse senor! Be safe!
LauraDecember 4, 2013
Oh no! Well at least you seemed to have a very minor case of it. I think I caught dengue a few years back after returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic. I had gotten mosquito bites, developed the rash and was just ridiculously sick with flu-like symptoms, but the doctor thought dengue was unlikely and didn't test for it. I wonder if he just didn't want to have to report it to the CDC if the test came back positive. It actually took me almost a month to feel well again. Now I practically bathe in DEET to avoid mosquito bites. Have fun in Costa Rica and glad you're feeling better!
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Crazy. I keep hearing stories like yours that remind me how lucky I was to have a minor case of it.
MichaelDecember 3, 2013
Glad to hear you're on the mend, my man. I'll tell you what, when you decide to experience a country, you REALLY experience a country, LOL! Keep on keepin' on, my favorite fellow vagabond!
Casey @ A Cruising CoupleDecember 3, 2013
Oh man!! Sorry to hear about that. We've been avidly applying bug spray the past two months in Costa Rica to avoid it, but given the number of mosquito bites I have I'm just waiting for it to happen. We've actually met quite a few people here who have gotten Dengue, so if it's any consolation, you're not alone. Enjoy Costa Rica- we just got to spend a few days with Green Global Travel and enjoyed hearing more about EcoAdventure!
Tara@Gypsy ShutterbugDecember 3, 2013
I just got over Dengue in Mexico a few weeks ago…and like you I had no idea that that's what it was until my hands and feet started itching like craaazy and had red dots all over them. I was pretty lucky too that mine was not the scary internal bleeding kind…yikes. Hope you are feeling all rested up!
JackieDecember 3, 2013
Glad you are feeling better, and glad for the update! Stay well!
LinzDecember 3, 2013
I see they didn't put gloves on while taking your blood. How do they know you don't have the HIV? Just sayin'…….they really trusted you!
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Eh, it's Mexico. There are no rules & regulations for small stuff. People are expected to be responsible for their own actions. I guess he's confident he'll be ok.
NoraDecember 3, 2013
Good on you for having such a strong immune system!
The first time I got Dengue I was unable to move for a week (and simultaneously had my heart broken – wow that was fun)!
The 2nd time I too had a much stronger immune system and although it all but killed the first two stops of my recent European tour, I was right as rain after about five days.
Apparently of the four strains you can get, two are worse than the others – often requiring hoapitalization. We got lucky! Ha ha.
Matthew KarstenDecember 21, 2013
Ah, that sucks Nora. But it's good to know that you have 2 down, only 2 more to complete the set and be Dengue-free for life. :D
BillageDecember 3, 2013
Crazy story, bro. Getting sick in a foreign land is my worst nightmare. Nicco, make sure you get shots for malaria, yellow fever, etc. before you go. It's definitely a confidence booster.
yvekesDecember 3, 2013
Shots for malaria???
Matthew KarstenDecember 3, 2013
No shots against Malaria yet, but it seems like they're working on one: http://nyr.kr/1cXfVnk
Just preventative medication at the moment. Or you can wait until you get it, then treat it.
Ashwin NairDecember 3, 2013
I had been following your Facebook posts quite regularly , Take care bro! Take it slow! :)
Matthew KarstenDecember 3, 2013
Thanks Ashwin. That's the plan. Nice and easy. :)
TurnerDecember 3, 2013
Not dengue, but I was laid up for a week in Peru after eating something suspect. Longest I've ever been sick.
Matthew KarstenDecember 3, 2013
A week of sickness on the road can't be fun. I'm glad mine wasn't that bad.
AbbiDecember 3, 2013
Glad your body is on the mends! Enjoy CR! Pura Vida!
Matthew KarstenDecember 3, 2013
Thanks Abbi! Excited to find some wildlife.
NiccoDecember 3, 2013
Thats horrible man, i'm glad you are feeling better! i'm travelling to South East Asia soon and am worried about picking up Dengue or Malaria. I've heard that after you get dengue once, its very dangerous, even fatal if you get it again. Do you know if there's any truth in that?
Matthew KarstenDecember 3, 2013
I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think most of the deaths are children (which sucks of course, but you should be ok).
Yes I've read that the 2nd infection can be a lot worse. But now I know what to look for! :)
Erin De SantiagoDecember 4, 2013
There is def a higher risk second time around and no, not necessarily kids are highly at risk. If you have pre-existing health problems like I do, I was being tested every day for signs of internal bleeding.
There are something like 4 strains (at least here in Belize) and if you catch the same one, you are immune. If you get the others, that is the time to start worrying.
You definitely got lucky with a mild case. Mine was considered mild and I was sick for over a month…I had it in August and still have residual issues, along with all my friends and neighbors who had it. At one point, the health dept had 19 active cases in my block alone.
My fever was never high like everyone else here, but the pain in your bones and behind the eyes is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I lost 20 lbs in less than 2 weeks and was in bed for weeks. The strain I had is winding down when your hands and feet start peeling…literally the palms of my hands were flaking off and that was 1.5 months after contracting it. LOL
Matthew KarstenDecember 4, 2013
Wow! Thanks for sharing Erin. I didn't realize it could be so bad…

?Local police investigating recent armed robberies
Written by Marty Randall
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00
? Investigations of two recent robberies at Austin and Scottsburg businesses are still under way.
D&M Grocery, a small neighborhood store located on Rural Street on Austin's north side, was robbed on Tuesday, December 16.
The initial investigation was started by Patrolman Shawn Hurt, who was dispatched to the grocery just before 9:30 p.m. that Tuesday. According to the store cashier, a white male came into the building and approached her at the counter. The woman told the officer that the man demanded money and pulled out a handgun. She handed over some money, and the man left.
The suspect was wearing dark sunglasses as well as a black toboggan on his head and a black coat with a hood. He had dark jeans and dark shoes.
A video of the suspect was taken by the store's surveillance system.
The armed robbery of the Family Dollar Store on West McClain Avenue in Scottsburg took place on Monday, December 22.

?Thirsty man now facing B felony for break-in and court order violation
Written by Marty Randall
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00
? A man who allegedly broke into a woman's Scottsburg home has been incarcerated in lieu of $75,000 cash bond after being charged in that break-in in Scott Circuit Court.
On December 19, Thomas J. Snow, 29, Scottsburg, purportedly broke into the home of a woman who had a protective order issued against him through the local court system. He then apparently made himself at home, drinking a cold beer while supposedly waiting for the woman to return. When she did, she was told by a neighbor that he'd seen Snow in her back yard. The woman called Scottsburg police, and Patrolmen Travis Rutherford and Troy Ford were dispatched to the home.
Officer Ford found where glass had been broken out of a back door to gain entry. A sack with five beers in it was found in the livingroom.

?Yes, police agree: Priscilla is an odd name for a man
Written by Marty Randall
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00
? A young man with red hair is being sought by the Scott County Sheriff's Department as the main suspect in a forgery/receiving stolen property case after he allegedly cashed stolen checks at a Scottsburg gas station.
In talking to the station clerk who had accepted the checks from the suspect, Reserve Deputy Sheriff Bobby Thompson said the clerk noted that the red-haired man offered two checks in the amount of $200 and $375. Both were drawn on another man's bank account and were reportedly signed by that party. Both were made out to what appeared to be a woman with the first name of Priscilla.
However, the young man cashing the checks offered identification listing him as Priscilla. The driver license the young man had, the clerk recalled, had the young man's photo on it. The clerk remembered the incident because, as he told his customer, "Priscilla was an unusual name for a male."
The investigation of the two checks occurred in September by the Sheriff's Department and revealed that a woman whose first name was Priscilla had had her purse stolen from her car around the end of August. The purse contained her driver license and credit cards.
On November 13, a local bank called, reporting that a teller had been approached by a young man with red hair who wanted to cash a check from a couple's account. Becoming suspicious, the teller called the woman listed on the check, and learned it was a stolen check. She returned to the young man and asked for identification. Instead, the young man fled the bank, leaving the check behind.
A warrant for a suspect has been issued based on three counts of Class C forgery and three counts of Class D receiving stolen property, all filed in Scott Circuit Court on December 23.

I am challenging myself for the next week to pump 8 x a day and at least once power pumping. trying to up my supply. today is day one....i'm pumping about .5-1oz now each session depending on if i feed rhythm before or after i pump. if he eats before I pump then sometimes its only .25oz
i'll let you girls now how the progress goes :)
no baby is on 98% formula right now. he cant physically latch right. i would like to raise my supply and am kaing a freezer stash so i can get a little ahead of him and hopefully give hm more breastmilk and less formula.
Quoting MusherMaggie:.5-2 ounces from both breasts combined is the average per pumping session. Are you pumping for work/school? Baby only needs 1-1.5 ounces for each hour you're apart.
he refuses to latch with it :-/
Quoting LucyHourglass:he refuses to latch with it :-/

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Large air tankers fighting wildfires along Colorado's Front Range will be based at the Fort Collins-Loveland Airport this year.
The tankers are usually based at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport in Broomfield but U.S. Forest Service announced Thursday that it's moving the base north because of construction work being done at the airport in Broomfield.
Spokeswoman Reghan Cloudman said Fort Collins-Loveland was picked because it has runways long enough to accommodate the tankers as well as available terminal space and is relatively close. Fort Collins-Loveland is about 10 minutes by plane from Broomfield.
The new station will open as soon as April 15.
There will also be full-time air tanker bases in Grand Junction and Rapid City, S.D. Another base can also be made available in Pueblo as needed.

County's election season now underway
Tunica County voters return to the polls Feb. 1 to help fill the unexpired term of the late Bill Minor of Holly Springs, Northern District Transportation Commissioner.
John Caldwell of Nesbit and Mike Tagert of Starkville were the top two finishers in the Jan. 11 special election, each garnering just over 20 percent of the vote. Warner McBride of Courtland ran third, but only the top two finishers advance to the run-off.

MIAMI (AP) - Two passengers on the bus that crashed into a concrete overpass at Miami International Airport remain hospitalized.
Hospital officials said Monday that nine of the 13 patients taken to Ryder Trauma Center and the Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Room have been discharged. Two are still being treated and are in good condition.
One person died at the hospital after the crash on Dec. 1 and another died at the scene.
Police have not charged or cited the driver of the bus that carried 32 members of a Jehovah's Witnesses group. Authorities said the driver got lost when the large bus hit the overpass. The bus was privately owned and typically used for tours.

Life as we know it; often looked upon with negative connotations.
Until the day we shed this mortal coil, we must live life to its fullest.
by Mike Snyder February 15, 2005
The Mortal Coil is the understanding that we have been given the greatest gift, the gift of life, and with this gift we have also been given the knowledge that it will be taken away from us one day due to our mortality.
We all ,as conscious beings on this Earth, must come to our own terms with "The Mortal Coil".

Produce, distribute and market chicken, beef, pork, prepared foods and related allied products. Also produces a wide range of fresh, value-added, frozen and refrigerated food products.
Look at Tyson. Just sitting there right now, all devalued because the market sucks today, and it recently settled a couple of relatively small lawsuits. As long as people gotta eat, Tyson will continue to grow at a decent rate - but today is a chance to jump in at a nice discount.

UVa has decided to expand access to its recreational sports facilities to the same-sex partners of employees, all because of the opinions of a state leader.
Called the Plus One Program, any current member can now sign up a gym membership for one extra person who lives with them.
This is just one legal way the university can give benefits to the gay and lesbian community.
"The Plus One Program is an opportunity for any of our members, current students or staff to be able to literally have, as it says, a plus one," said Mark Fletcher, Director of Intramural Recreational Sports.
Upon the request of the university, Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell issued an opinion. The statement reads, "The University of Virginia is authorized to provide a recreational gym membership to an adult who is not a spouse and who lives in the household of an employee or student."
"When I came to UVa and went to join the gym and have my partner join the gym and couldn't, I was actually surprised," said UVa Pride member Ellen Bass.
UVa Pride, an advocacy group for lesbian, gay and transgender students and faculty, said they have been fighting for more benefits for themselves and their partners and hopes this is just one small step toward larger benefits.
"The biggest one you probably know is health benefits for our domestic partners," said Bass. "The gym, you could argue, is a health benefit, or you could argue it's even a benefit from a health standpoint, but access to medical care is a very big issue."
She was quick to add that since she been on staff, she feels the university has been very understanding of the wants and needs of the gay, lesbian and transgender community, despite not making many changes to protect a number of their rights.
The General Assembly must approve health benefits for gay and lesbian couples. But one other suggested improvement on the university level includes guaranteed time off to care for a partner or a partner's child.
Other Virginia colleges that allow same-sex partners of employees to use gym memberships include Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University and the College of William and Mary.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Friends and family members gathered to bid their final goodbyes to 31-year-old Kelly Abrams, who was murdered in Cape Coral over the weekend.
Police say 43-year-old Ricardo Marrero shot and killed his girlfriend. Best friend Christine Borgersen described Abrams as a beautiful person — both inside and out — who will be missed immensely. Family and friends released white balloons in Abrams' memory.
Investigators believe that Marrero got upset when he heard that Abrams was planning to break up with him. Police say Marrero committed suicide shortly after shooting Abrams.
Family and friends honored Abrams' life at the Grace United Methodist Church in Cape Coral.
