Just pm me your address and I will breath into a envelope and have Ali send it off tomorrow. You too can be feeling as crappie as me in a few short days!

4. The first signs are mild sinus and upper chest discomfort.

It goes down hill from there. The worst thing about this one is that it is resilient. The whole household has been sick for over two weeks. The smaller puerco's got it first almost three weeks ago and none of us can get rid of it.

5. Then I will surely pass
But for the record, I strongly doubt there is any strain of flu out there I would be willing to contract.

2. How generous of you!
It seems however there are many on the FR forum who could benefit from a good bout of the flu.

6. The first time I caught the flu
A friend of mine popped her head into my apartment and told me that she was sick and wasn't coming in. Two days later my ex and I were violently sick with the flu. We must have caught it off the doorknob or something because she was only in for a few seconds to say hi.

I was down for the count for five days. I didn't feel 100% again until a week and a half later. What sucks about the flu is when you wake up in the morning,you think you are getting better. But as the day wears on, you go back to being very weak and sick again.

Now I get a flu shot every year. I even caught the flu after being immunized a couple of months earlier and I was sick for one day. That was it. I was 100% the next day.
