Poll question: Are you sick?
I'm coming down with something, and it seems like a lot of my friends have been too... are you sick too?

3. I've had a cough for about two weeks
Don't know why or where it came from. I haven't had a cold.

Whiskey kills most of the bad stuff. Not that that's of much use to you...;-)

11. I am perpetually sick
If you work with kids, then you know what I'm talking about. I see kids from every school in Champaign-Urbana and the surrounding area, so I get a nice variety of ailments. Haven't had pinkeye yet, but I came close.

17. Deep chest congestion and joint aches
for about a week. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the time of year. Smoking, drinking or staying up late will reak havoc on my body since I've gotten older, leaving me succeptible to anything going around, so I try to pace myself.

21. Caught something nasty out in Hawaii
I was a full-blown mucus boy for about two weeks. Then on top of that, I got pink-eye, in BOTH eyes! So I went to a doc for the first times in years. He prescribed Zithromax and some goopy crap for my glozzies.

All better now, except I still got some crap in my throat in the mornings. Going back to TX tomorrow, bye-bye Hawaii, kind of glad to finally go home.

22. Never.
I am the healthiest person I've ever known. I have a kick-ass immune system.

I'm an elementary school teacher; that probably helped build up that immune system, but I was extraordinarily healthy before that.

As a 12 year old, I was terrified of standing up to give an oral report in front of my class. So, the night before, I took a cold shower, fully clothed, and went and stood outside in the middle of winter and screamed for an hour, trying to lose my voice and make myself sick. It didn't work. Not a sniffle or even slightly hoarse.

When the world is coming down with something, either I don't get it, or I get a very mild, quick (24 hours) version that doesn't slow me down in the least.

Whatever the world is coming down with today, I don't have it.
