I desperately needed the laughs today.

[sheshe2]

30. Big cheerios are better

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. I need a bigger bowl

[Docreed2003]

5. That is so perfect! Stealing that one!!

[VOX]

20. Ain't it the truth!

My brother and I were both down with measles in the mid-1950s, we were sick as dogs, and kept in a darkened room for days (although that practice was eventually found to be unnecessary). My brother’s fever was so high, he had to spend a couple of days in hospital.

No kid should have to suffer through that, especially when *it’s avoidable*!

[Chipper Chat]

22. I remember having mumps, measles

And chicken pox. It was a normal thing for a kid back in the 40s

[VOX]

23. True. Chicken pox was the ONE thing I didn't catch as a kid.

Even though my brother had it, along with the rest of the kids on the block.

As you say, it was a normal thing back in the 40s-50s.

[Chipper Chat]

36. Do you recall the large red signs that had to be posted in your window?

To ward off any visitors. They were 2 sided and flippable. Measles on top and mumps on bottom . The other side was chickenpox and I think scarlet fever. Most families went thru all 4. One card fits all was economical after all those signs cost a whole dime!

[VOX]

38. Yes! Wow, did you ever jog a memory!

We lived on a hilly cul-de-sac, and everybody knew everybody, unlike today, where we pretty much keep to ourselves.

I was about 5 when I had the measles, and was knocked out flat, but when the chicken pox made the rounds, I was a couple years older, and I now recall the cards in the neighbors’ front windows.

My mom threw the then-traditional “chicken pox party, where all the neighboring parents brought their sick and WELL kids to expose them! And damn it, even with that, I didn’t get sick! Imagine that today? There’d be liability suits to infinity!

[sheshe2]

37. Never mumps, yet measles and chicken pox. And Scarlet Fever.

I came home from kindergarten with a flushed face. Scarlet Fever. I was quarantined in my room for a month. My baby brother was sent to my aunts house to live. I slept in my parents curtained off bedroom. Dad read to me outside the door. High fevers and hallucinations. Scary for a little kid.

[VOX]

39. It is frightening for a kid. When I was 12, I kept losing weight...

And catching every flu and cold that came along, with no respite. Turns out I had mononucleosis, with a blood-count so deranged that I was quarantined for a month in hospital, and had to keep up with my schoolwork from home for an entire semester. And no phys-ed for a year (enlarged spleen). I was so thin that I could eat anything, in any quantity, and was encouraged to do so.

You’d think that all this would be like heaven for a kid, but, as you say, I was extremely scared and felt confined throughout. And I was just old enough to detect my parents’ worry, which was another source of concern.

To this day, I’ve battled and managed an anxiety disorder (and claustrophobia) that I’m certain cut neural pathways in that childhood-serious-illness phase.

[sheshe2]

40. I can't imagine Mono at 12.

Frightening what you went through and still go through, VOX.

I was in college and older so it was not so bad, yet missed most of my first semester. Worst part for me in my dorm the nurse lived at the far side of the building. Sick as a dog, I had to walk through the lobby to have her spray my throat. Finally called my parents to come get me.

Hugs~

[VOX]

41. So sorry you went through that, college years were the usual mono targets...

Mono isn’t something to take lightly. Nobody knows today how it spreads, as the responsible retrovirus is present in nearly 100% of human beings.

It can leave one in tatters, often with more than one strange autoimmune artifact as a reminder.

Sharing the hug (((( )))))

[sheshe2]

42. Remember?

They laughingly called it the 'kissing disease.'

Hugs back.

[VOX]

43. Yes! And at age 12, I was just beginning to figure that out!

Although I’m 99.99% certain I picked it up some other way

The damn thing is related to the herpes virus, so it resides in your body for life. Get stressed-out enough, and it can come back on you.

I speak from experience. My first semester of dorm life at college, with all its excesses (except for sleep, which was rare) earned me a return-ticket to the hospital at age 18, where I again tested positive for mono.

Fast forward to age 34, after a prolonged stressful passage at work, overlapping a 6-month hectic relationship with a sweet but overly energetic girlfriend, and *boom*— flat on my back again with swollen glands, fever, and the out-of-whack blood count.

I gained some wisdom (finally) from those experiences, and learned to pace things so there would be no more major overloads on the immune system.

Whew. I feel a nap coming on. Cheers.

[sheshe2]

45. Lol...

Take a nap.

No overloads. Pace yourself.

[monmouth4]

27. I had measels really bad also, mom used to put calamine lotion on me and I had to wear gloves

until the itching stopped. Good times, we won't even talk about the mumps and that black icthiol (sp?) all over my neck.

[lindysalsagal]

6. Funny, but I wish it were just a movie...So does John, I"m sure.

[sheshe2]

7. Pretty sure we all do, lindy.

[Marie Marie]

8. ...

[sheshe2]

10. Marie Marie!

[Different Drummer]

9. Don't see a problem.

I'm fairly sure he's right.

[JuJuYoshida]

14. this....

[rusty quoin]

18. Maybe she's just a fan of spaghetti westerns.

[Poiuyt]

21. Separated at birth?

?w=1000

[VOX]

25. Ahahahahah!

Good one!

[smirkymonkey]

26. Does she really think that look is attractive?

It's not.

Neither she nor Ivanka can move any part of their face except their lips. It's really creepy.

[nolabear]

15. Turns out he was mistaken. It was a fan page. He apologized.

Apparently his fans gave TCM hell but he mistook a fan page for the real thing. He said this on his show today. He sticks by the comment though. 😄

[JI7]

16. she pays a lot of money for that look

[CTAtheist]

24. That is so insulting

to our alien neighbors.

I apologize, alien friends. We don't think you're vapid, gold-digging bigots.

[Gothmog]

28. K&R

[guillaumeb]

29. Twins, Separated at birth,

The one on the right got the brains and integrity.

The one on the left got Trump.

[zentrum]

31. Love this guy!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Love it. Who gets kicked off an old movie channel? Bravo

[watoos]

33. Not funny guys

That tight skin is probably a side effect from her kidney operation.

[Blue Owl]

35. She looks well... like, Roswell...
