I haven't had a cold this bad in years

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Stop jerking off. When I jerk off a lot, I tend to get sick. Need the strength yo

And we all touched those basketballs....

I was probably the Ebola monkey for everyone who attended.

I hope you guys feel better soon. Please stay at home, rest up, and keep that nastiness away from the rest of us!

I would put that on the resume.

 

[theprunetang]

I would put that on the resume.

Oh, it is already on it. I need bosses to know that I will make everyone sick.

You're the reason why we can't have nice forum gatherings.

I thought that was because of @BLAZINGGIANTS

WTF man? I thought we was cool de la? I thought we was cool de la?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Being a former wastewater treatment guy and a former cigarette smoker, I got into the habit of washing my hands almost constantly.....and have continued to do so even after retiring from both the job and tobacco. I can say with utter certainty it goes a long way towards keeping colds and other illnesses at bay. Also, with grandkids of elementary school age, I religiously wipe down tables, counters and other hard surfaces with disinfectant wipes, especially during cold and flu season. And for what its worth, I've never, ever had a flu shot and I've only had the flu once in the past 43 years......

We keep trying...

We'll try harder.

 

[theprunetang]

WTF man? I thought we was cool de la? I thought we was cool de la?

Haha. We are still cool. Just fucking with you.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Motherfucker WTF?

 

[THE HCP]

I used to get real sick, flu-style maybe once a winter for years. Small colds here and there. Then started getting a big daddy flu shot every Halloween for the past 8 years or so. Haven't been sick since. Wonder how it works, but it does.

 

[MARIS61]

So this just happened.

Wake up from nap. Hot and achy.

Stumble out to the living room. Think, *I should eat.*

Stumble to kitchen. Look everywhere for soup. Find can of beef broth. WTF?!? Keep looking.

Realize I'm still hot and achy but now getting headache.

Think, *I should have some tylenol.*

Walk to where we keep the tylenol in bathroom medicine cabinet. But before I grab it I realize I need water to drink it down with.

So I leave.

Go to kitchen. Realize I don't have my favorite mug (not sure why I couldn't use a glass, wanted my mug.) or tylenol.

So I leave.

Go to my home office.

Ahhh... my mug.

Walk back to where Tylenol is. Look down, realize I have no water in cup.

I leave.

Get water in mug.

Go sit at desk.

Look down

No tylenol.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

My dog is the same way when he's got a cold.

 

[MickZagger]

I had a cold for 3 weeks that turned into bronchitis last month. I'm sure working 14 hour days in the snow didn't help.

Slow growing cancer, your immune system is fighting it so you don't get sick as often. I'd get looked at if I were you.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

the cia sprays everyone down with flu and cold bacteria after the election to keep the protesters at bay.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Haven't been sick for a long time, then I read this thread. Today I wake up with a sore throat that feels like someone is stabbing me from inside my esophagus.

I blame you, @SlyPokerDog. Don't know how, but I blame you.

 

[Denny Crane]

Therefore, global warming.

I saw prune drool on one

 

[donkiez]

about 6 years ago when I just started dating my wife from long distance. I got strep throat and was texting her between fever bouts. I texted:

"Oh my god this fever is terrible."

it auto corrected to

"oh my god this feces is terrible"

I discovered my typo after waking up from a 4 hour fever sleep, with a reaction from her along the lines of "are you ok? I think you should call the doctor."

Everything Uncle Cliffy's Dad said is good EXCEPT the disinfectant wipes. According to CDC they do not prevent spread of colds and may do the opposite. The Environmental Working Group rates Lysol wipes D and some of the ingredients F. Because they contain pesticides and other bad smelling chemicals they are loaded with perfume to cover the smell, which is itself a respiratory irritant and suspected neurotoxin.

To disinfect surfaces, half white vinegar/half water in spray bottle does a good job. If you want to really disinfect, wait 5 minutes, then spray with hydrogen peroxide. (For raw chicken use 10% bleach, I am talking basic counters though.) Both are cheap and non-toxic. And you don't have tons of wipes going into landfill.

That being said, hope you feel better. I hear there is a really nasty flu going around this year. Sadly, sick leave may be repealed by the Congress. If you can, stay home. Eat chicken soup. Drink tea. Lie down with a cat on your chest for warmth.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I feel even worse today.

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

I feel even worse today.

That's because dogs should not be putting cats on their chest......

 

[donkiez]

I feel even worse today.

This is one of those social media moments I never can get. If I like your post does that mean I support you in how you feel, or that I like that you feel even worse today?

 

[Denny Crane]

I haven't had a cold, flu, or even a serious sniffle in 4 or 5 years.

That's one of the benefits of having an autoimmune disease (Lupus). My immune system is in overdrive.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I know someone who just died of pneumonia last week because he didn't bother going to the doctor until it was too late.

Get yourself checked.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Just got home from the dcotors. My flu turned into a bacterial infection. Antibiotics and Muscilin....the diet of the day.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Just woke up in a giant ball of sweat. Guessing my fever broke. But I feel a little better. Pounding juice and soup.
