This pisses me off, I try to get sick and all you complain that yall are feeling bad?

My grand kids tested positive for the flu, so I played with them. But dang it, I did not get sick.

I felt a little bad for a day, thought I had the flu, but it was a false alarm.

Why do you fucking assholes joke about HIV/AIDS? I hope someone you love dies from it so maybe you'll grow up a little bit.

I've been sick for months and I pretty much never get sick, so who knows what is going on.

Yeah, I was about to post this. I'm in the middle of a period of relief, but I had flu symptoms for 2 weeks in the past month, a cold for the rest, and just for the hell of it, odd pain in my calves on random nights. I think the last one is from walking too much in hard soled shoes, but the rest sucks.

I was feeling a little iffy towards the beginning of this week and now it's turned into a full-blown cold. Could be worse.

Oh please. :rolleyes:

Why don't you hope the OP loses a loved one to the Bubonic Plague AKA the Black Death?

We can even sing about it:
"...ashes, ashes, we all fall down."

o_O So being grown up is wishing pain suffering and death on someone else? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Says the guy who jokes about terms like retarded. I suppose "that's fucking retarded" is ok in your books?

How about defending someone's right to use terms like "lovely human" jokingly? You'd never do that, right?

Ya I did about 5 minutes of searching - I see that your brother apparently died of AIDS. That's terrible and I can see where you are coming from. But go fuck yourself on wishing ill on others simply because you have personally endured hardship. Maybe you should shut your own fucking mouth in joking about anything potentially offensive. What a fucking retard (and I apologize to those who that term may accurately apply to for unfairly associating you with them).

I'm offended by the OP joking about the flu. It kills tons of old people every year :colbert:

What I said was fucking ignorant, and I am sorry. I honestly don't wish what happened to my brother to happen to even my worst of enemies.

The nice thing with winter is I never get sick. It's spring/summer I find bad. Especially spring. Too much hot/cold/hot/cold and it screws with my body. I seem to be better than before though. I get sick maybe every couple years only and it's usually nothing too bad.

I had the stomach flu for 24 hours. Puke free since '93 is no longer my mantra.

I've had an unproductive cough for about 3 wks. No other symptoms but this damn cough. Now my wife feels like she's getting a cold & my daughter woke up really congested this morning. I'm tempted to go to the dr but don't want to fork over a copay for a cough. Its getting really annoying though.
