Cold or Flu?

TRB on Tue December 19, 2006 8:40 PM User is offlineView users profile

Anyone had a cold or the flu lately? Been fighting it since last Thursday. Think I may be on the back side of it now. Only puked for one day this time around.

Been on the news about that Olive Garden getting 360 people sick with some kind of food poisoning with experts coming on PBS radio talking about farming practices with green leaf vegetables. Never heard so much BS in my life as have been eating fresh green vegetables at home and never got sick. But man, do I get sick at some restaurants, being a connoisseur of fine foods and restaurants, if the establishment doesn't kill me when eating there, it's a fine place to eat.

Wife thinks like I do, when going on a all day trip, pack a lunch at home, we stopped at a restaurant last year and both got sick.

Another factor in illness is having a step daughter going to school, one of the most disease infected area known to mankind with more viruses than the web has. She missed 16 days so far this school year, I didn't catch everything she brought home, but did get some kind of weird 24 virus on two different occasions. Ha, tease about having a leather holster made to carry a can of Lysol, and spray anyone down first you meet before shaking their hand.

Wife seldom gets sick, starts off the morning by eating two fresh oranges, like that guy on TV says about starting the day drinking a glass of Florida orange juice or spending six months on a deserted island with a monkey.

Ha, often wonder if our clinic is spreading diseases, they do have a motive, good for business. If Macs and others had to depend upon our business to survive with their over worked minimum high school employees that really don't care, they wouldn't be in business.

With some odd 256 cold viruses going around, claim you never get the same one twice. With nine different kids living with me over the last 40 some years bringing home stuff, think I got them all so rarely get a cold. But always a new kind of virus.

Do to having to take a shot of insulin before I eat. I do not eat out much. Think I picked up this bug from the 2 year old next door. Next time I'll let her mom wipe her snotty nose!

Not fun have a chronic illness and pick up a bug as well, my son at 32 years old now has to be hospitalized when he gets the flu. Hopefully stem cell research and finding and correcting that nasty gene will give more mercy to those afflicted. Will keep you in my prayers, Tim.

I felt a cold coming on a couple of days ago, burning nose, sneezing, and drips, took 2,000 mg of Sunpack Vitamin C, another the next day, and again this morning, burned that sucker out before it got started. Feel pretty good now.

A lot of people think they've got the flu when they really have a cold... let's put it this way, when you get the flu, you're essentially non-functional. You can't work, you can't do anything, just lay around and feel absolutely miserable. You wished you'd just die and get it over with already. With a cold, you might feel really crappy, but at least you can function.

The thing about the flu is that you can almost pinpoint the EXACT time you catch it, because the symptoms come on hard and fast.

That being said, I sure as hell hope you don't have the flu... I wouldn't even wish that on Russell! Wouldn't wish a cold on him either for that matter. Diarrhea or crabs maybe.

Yep I am on day two with that crud and the worst is yet to come.

They used to make a cough medicine called HYCOMINE that worked well.
This was the only medicine that would stop me from coughing.
Just my luck they stopped making the stuff a few years ago.

Merry Christmas from Dixie.
