[Castle Cake Apologist]

Hey guys... I finally drug myself outta bed. Lol, I got a 5-day weekend... but it sucks for me 'cuz I have the flu. My fever has not dropped below 102.1 unless I OD on aspirin.

I'm willing to try anything at this point! Luv ya guys...

Stay off the computer, drink LOTS of drinks...maybe have your parents put on light music. You need a restful setting that will allow your body to fight the illness.

Feel better!!!

100 press-up's, a 5 mile run and then a good puke.

Not sure about your first question, but for number two, I'd try eating lots of bananas, then you're bound to get constipated









J/K, Feel better soon!

This happened to me twice. I got sick right before anything funfilled. I got strup throat right before a nice 3 day weekend, and got the stomach flu right before dad and I were going to see The Lord of the Rings 2 again. You're not alone. Feel Better! :wave:

i'm the same way without the fever. I had a little fever yesterday..99..and today I had 97.4 :lol: dead and then normal. I felt good to shovel and I got worse. Stupid me. Now I feel like crapola.

For now just take it easy and drink lots of fluids. Chicken noodle soup is good. Next October make sure you get a flu shot. The flu is no joke. It can kill even a healthy person. I get a flu shot every year. Take good care of yourself.

oh man!! i'd be highly upset if that happened to me! wait patiently for a year to see probably the most highly anticipated movies of the year only to get sick prior to seeing it (of course, you said again, so you had already seen it, but still...with me, i'm so passionate about that trilogy that i want every viewing to be perfect! unfortunately for me, only 1 out of 3 TT viewings even came close...but that's beyond the point)

as far as i can remember, i've only been really sick twice right before or during a funfilled event...both Disney trips, actually. first one was years ago (1993, i believe)...was really sick a week before a Disney trip. i was pretty much better by the time we left, but had to stand in the cold, pouring rain the night we were traveling down there....long story...it was when we used to stop at a hotel in Georgia for the night then go on to FL the next morning.
and then of course our most recent Disney trip this past Thanksgiving break and my bought with food poisoning our last day.
any other time has just been minor colds and headaches and such...except that one Disney trip when i had a killer headache (one of my worst ever) and i laid on a bench in the MK train station with mom while my dad and sister watched SpectroMagic.
:lookaroun oops...post turned out longer than i meant it to be...sorry for the slight thread drift!
