I Hate The FLU!

[BlackAdam]

Saturday, went into the DMV... that night, wake up at 2:30 AM and am in the bathroom puking up every 45 minutes until 7:00. Couldn't go to Bob's Big Boy for Father's Day Lunch or to the movies to see Batman Begins. Easily the worst day I've had in a long time... Monday morning, I wake up and feel fine. I go out, eat sushi, hang with friends, and watch Team America at a friend's house. Who, BTW... has a 16:9 Sony television, with a Widescreen version of the movie being shown in 4:3, but stretched... so there are black bars on the top and bottom, of a 16:9 display! Freakin' idiot as I called him. I wake up this morning, and it's back to Sunday. I feel like total crap... puked like 3 or 4 times... could see the seaweed in the toilet. Sleep from like 9 to 2 like there was nothing to it. I feel better now, but I don't think I'll be doing anything tomorrow or the next day. I hate the DMV! The diseased people there make me never want to step foot in that place again.

Sounds more like food poisoning than the flu.

Who gets the flu in june?

 

[BlackAdam]

No, I don't think it's food poisoning... because, everything I ate on Friday and Saturday, other family members had as well, and none of them became sick. Yesterday, however... I didn't eat anything any of my family members had, and my brother came down with the flu this morning. I don't know...

I caught a cold in either The Netherlands or Germany. Who would have thought that the place would be freezing in June?

The 24 hour flu, as most refer to it, is generally caused by a microbiological agent tied to food poisoning. It is an odd time of the year for one to come down with the flu. Just because others ate the same does not mean they will get sick. Immune systems, food handling, etc play a major role in the overall outcome.

I don't think it's the flu... at least I don't puke when I have the flu.

Well, looks like I have the 24 hour flu, twice.
