It is important for a man to have his own space, preferably in a separate building or floor.

Do not worry about insulation. You need to discourage others from using it by keeping it cold/untidy/funny smelling.

Because of virus sharing from family members I now expect to get chickenpox in a few days....

My wife and myself are very near the same. She is around loads of people all day long while I keep a relatively low profile and she is always bringing home her colds and flu every year. I try and keep her at arms length when she is sick but just can not always do that.

She and I both snore badly sometimes due to allergy suffering and I really would like to have a separate bedroom sometimes.

Chickenpox- awesome! I got chickenpox (or was it measles?) when I was 25 or so. They say it's more serious when you get them as an adult, but I think it's just because people listen to adults complain more than when children complain!

If you're over 15 years of age, you better hope you don't get chicken pox. That can be an EXTREMELY serious illness in adults. If you haven't had it before, AND you don't get it now, go get vaccinated.

Man, for your sake, I hope you don't get it.

That part cracked me up.

Oddly enough, I work inside and underground (no windows) and I rarely get sick, even though I have been surrounded by sick people lately.

Could have been either, but usually there's a big public announcement when measles are making local rounds. Were they itchy or just painful? Itchy Chicken pox, just painful big and red, measles.

Mr Whippy, I will have to wait a couple of weeks to see what happens, then see about vaccination.

I am glad I appear to be a teenager

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #10 on:** January 31, 2012, 08:45:43 PM

If I recall properly it was itchy as all get out, so I guess it was Chickenpox. That was back in the days when I worked with the public and I used to get all kinds of different things.

As far as I can tell (been over a dozen years now) I haven't had any lasting effects from it. Same with the H1N1 I had a few years ago- no dangerous after effects from that "dangerous" disease either.

As for sleeping, well I was having such violent instances last night that I was terrified to fall asleep. I've been watching Stargate SG-1 on Netflix since about 2:30am.

Love that show, went through the entire series a year or two back in almost a marathon. Probably a joke among the writing crew, almost everybody sees Carter wants to bang her, cops, Mongols, guys from future, guys million years old, aliens, although can't really blame them.

Although I went through the atlantis spin off too and it's kinda weird to see her aging 12 years in a month or two.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #12 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:39:43 PM

I actually never got into it until now. It's on Netflix and it's one of those shows I wanted to watch from the beginning, so now I'm getting my chance.

Sorry to hear about your travails there Def...

Get better soon.

As for kids, I wouldn't not have mine for the world! Yeah, I get sick once in a while from something my son brings home from school, or my daughter from her daycare, but I have never, ever, had any experience in my life that has been as wonderful and rewarding as being with my kids... Working with my son on his pinewood derby cars for scouts; teaching him about science, astronomy, biology; teaching him how to ride a bike; building Legos with him; and with my daughter, taking her to the park; walking the dog; putting a band-aid on when she gets a scratch; teaching her letters and numbers; I wouldn't trade any of that for anything in the world... a few bugs here and there are nothing in comparison. There's nothing I wouldn't do for my kids, and they have been the single greatest joy of my entire life.

Besides, all those diseases the kids bring home when they're little help make your immunity system stronger.

Easy for you guys to say- both of you encounter people by the hundred at work so you have the ability to fight the bugs the kids bring home with the bugs you are bringing home!

It's certainly earned it's stripes over the last couple of days, that's for sure! Kim's back to work today, and I feel ok- a bit tired, but then after two days of little sleep that is understandable. I'm just glad it hasn't manifested itself in the dogs- as bad as it is for Kim & I it's much worse when the dogs have issues.

It's a such a drag getting infected by someone else all the damn time... I feel your pain.

We have a teenager/disease vector who provides the germ reassignment service round here. Joy.
I have to say, it was worse when he was smaller as the tiny ones are especially good at sharing viral loads... he would say he felt a little unwell for a day or two, then we would end up REALLY sick for three weeks.

I seem to be back to my usual self now. It really only lasted a day or so, then a bit of recovery the next day, but I'm good to go now- or at least as much as I ever was!

As I said, I was sick a lot as a kid so things don't seem to affect (infect?) me as badly these days, which I'm grateful for, even though the result is that I suck at sports since I was too sick to play any half the time!
