Chicken soup is for the weak! THE WEAK!!pygmalion_May 4 2004, 06:55:36 UTC
You require chilli. I recommend about a pint of really fucking hot tom yum goong, always sorts me right out. Endorphins and nourishing soup and general yum.
Heh, General Yum! *Salutes*
Sounds like you're feeling better which is always a good thing. Did you make with the fever though? In a slightly perverse way I've always looked forward to that part of being sick. Gentle little hallucinations floating around though my head. I do remember one time getting quite a bad fever, I'd just bought Mezzanine (by Massive Attack, though I'm sure you know that) and my last rational thought before crawling into bed was to put it in my stereo - on repeat and random. So I ended up tossing and sweating, drifting in and out of conciousness and reality, with random snatches of tripped out beats. To this day that album still makes me feel a little like the whole world is spinning a little strangely.

MmMmm chili. My momma makes the best chili. We usually don't make it too hot becuase we like to be able ot actually taste the food. But yes, hot would be good, I like hot things :)
I was better, but now I'm worse. I think I'm going to the doctor on Thursday, that'll be one week since I got sick. I was slightly feverish today and yesterday, but sunday I had a bad fever. I never get hallucinations. Peter got really sick once (105 temperature) and he had hallucinations about bugs on his pillow...I'd die man....I hate bugs. But anyway, yeah I've made with the tossing and turning, sweating and coughing. Blech :( I did take some more of that wonder cough syrup though. I wish they made that in pill form. mMmMm...I'm sure they do..but it's probably not legal ;) Anywhooooooo...yeah :) Thanks for caring :)

One of my little brothers once got pneumonia, and Mum made with the "you're not really sick! In my day we'd bleed from every oriface and STILL go to school." Any way she just sent him off to bed, but he came screaming into the familly room an hour or two later waving his hands in the air to chase away the flying things that were chasing him, then started moaning and tried to dig a hole through our slate floor...with his HEAD. 'Twas particularly unpleasant for him.
Anyway, cheer up sweetums...it'll all be ok. And before you know it, it'll be summer!

27 ? as in degrees ? Eww :( I don't like the cold. Unless you guys are celsius over there, I can never remember where is what. Even so, too chilly for me dude. :(

Oh, I thought it was close to 50°. 80° is more my temperature :) I'm such a nerd, I'll never learn the fahrenheit celsius conversion. Is the US the only place that even uses fahrenheit ? I swear. Anywhoooooooooo ~surprise hug!!!~ :)

It's because the guy who invented it wanted to base it on the great "constant" of the world, humans. 100 degrees was supposed to be the temperature of the human body, however he didn't have anyone else to use as his basis of comparison so he used himself (very scientific). Unfortunately he had syphillis, which raises the human body temperature. So that whole scale is based around the body temperature of just one guy, with a fatal STD!
Heh, General Yum! *Salutes*

That makes what I have seem like nothing, I guess I should be grateful.
Your poor brother, how old was he when this happened ?

Every time I get sick it feels like the end of the world and I bitch and moan, it's nice to remember that things can be much worse.
Oh well, I'm NOT sick. In fact I'm very healthy and it's a lovely day (sunny and 27) so :P
Take care now!

Today's trivia: do you know why 100 degrees fahrenheit means you're sick?
*STEALTH HUG!*

Nope, I have no idea why you're sick at 100 degrees fahrenheit
Hmm, I like the stealth hug better than a surprise hug, it's like being super sneaky :)
