GolfHos

started feeling it coming on Thursday morning. by Thursday night it was full blown. spent all of friday sleeping, literally. i wasn't up for more than an hour and a half all day. yesterday had to go out and clear away the 10" of fresh snow which actually made me feel a little better getting some fresh air. today i just feel like *feces*. [sm_disgust]

according to Sunday countdown you gave it to 1/2 of the Lions

It hasn't knocked me out like you but I've been battling a sinus issue for almost two weeks know. I just can't shake it. I'd like to go out and get some fresh air but it's -2 with 20 mph winds right now. 

Frozen snot FTW  ;D

 ;D

I suppose I would be pissing you guys off, by saying it is dam nice and hot here. [sm_devil] ;D ;D ;D

And how's the weather there, BTW?

The same. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

My wife got the same "cold".  It's really knocking her down.  I've been sleeping in the other room to avoid getting it -- I don't want to be sick for Christmas (again).

On a green note, I apparently gave Fuzzy some of that fine sinus "issue".  I've been battling mine for several weeks now; still not gone.

i was nowhere near the Carolinas whilst you were on the left coast. honest. :o

Well, she didn't get it from the Lions, either.  (But on a positive note, that does mean their receivers are able to catch something.)

So, you're the one. Thanks, Clive.  ::) Mine hit me several days after returning from Bandon and just yesterday I started feeling human again.

Yeah, thanks Clive.  I got it 2-3 days after returning from Bandon, and I am just now starting to feel better. 

She wasn't sick when I left or while I was in Bandon.

I'd blame the waitress at the ultra-lavish Pacific Grille Restaurant.  Or perhaps the men's room.

I've think you've nailed it. There was something funky going on with that whole place.

Plausible deniability.

I'm pretty certain that our Pacific Grill waitress's hygiene practices are beyond reproach. The Multnomah County Health Department would ensure of that, right?

What the hell did all you guys do? I'm fine. I must have missed some party.

...hot and boring... except for the Tropical Cyclone Billy heading your way...

apparently you aren't a member of the  :airquotes: old boys club  :airquotes:  [sm_hump]

Bastard!! I think I'm catching your freaking cold. [sm_disgust]

I'll see how hot tea, honey and Wild Turkey do tonight.

mines still hanging in there, but the end is near.  ;)

Since it looks like you're going to survive, happy belated HTFU. ;)

I guess it's my turn now. I became violently ill (we'll call it "flu like symptoms" and hope that's enough) upon returning home from Christmas dinner at my brother's place. With no sleep the night before last, I got out of bed yesterday with what felt like the worst hangover I'd ever had, and about 12" of snow in the driveway.

I take back, by the way, anything mean I might have ever said about my wife, she was an absolute angel yesterday. Even volunteering to clean the driveway if I showed her how to work the snowblower. (Note to self: she did a more than adequate job of it too.)

Today, I feel as crappy as I did yesterday, but the wife somehow thinks that people in the hospital are more worthy of her ministrations than I, go figure. I've eaten a roll and some chicken broth, both of which threw it into reverse within moments of hitting the bottom of my esophagus. I'm starving, I'm nauseous, I'm running a low grade fever, every muscle in my body aches, and there are things not fit for polite company accompanying all of this.

I hate being sick. In lieu of h(ing)tfu, I am currently praying for the sweet cold embrace of death. Join me in this prayer, won't you?

Dude.

Okay I will rub it in, I have just got home from playing golf.  It was overcast but it didn't rain. (well it is the wet season.)

It is really nice and warm here, and I might even put the air conditioner on tonight when I go to bed. :P ;D ;D ;D

Just returned home from a stay at the in-laws, joined by my sister-in-law and family.  Four of them, all four sick.  Respiratory-virus-sick, with fever, hacking coughs, and disrupted sleep.  Thanks for being troupers and showing up for the holiday.  I'm sick now, and so is my child.

I've been sick in the head for years.

I once saw a woman walking around Berkeley wearing a surgical mask like people with colds do in Japan.  I was tempted to start wearing one all the time so that people wouldn't sit next to me on the subway.

LOL
