Who's got the crud?

Re: Who's got the crud?

Me and everyone that went down are all feeling the flu. I was blamming one of the guys that went with us.

It's the Defcon curse! Maybe NBC put it on everyone? :P

Re: Who's got the crud?

i must've drunk just enough alcohol to sterilize all the bugs while not nuking my immune system because i didn't catch a thing...which probably means that next year i'll catch martian death-flu or something.

Re: Who's got the crud?

I don't have it. They say it is better to give than receive, but I don't think this counts.

No. All sales are final. Best (or worst, depending on your point of view) you can do is to give it to someone else and share in the misery.

First off, don't know what they've done with the forum software, but replying to anything really munges the other visible replies until you're through editing. Of course, that might have been clearer, but I'm one of the lucky ones. I had a scratchy throat when I left Monday morning, and woke up on Tuesday barely able to swallow.

Whoever was the carrier had to really work to get me. Didn't fly, antisocial, don't go to parties. It's unusual for me to be sick, but I am considering my options on whether I know people that are deserving. So far, I've been leaning towards the don't share side, but that may change...

Re: Who's got the crud?

Seems like every year a good chunk of the con ends up sick. Never been able to figure out if its that stale casino air, too much partying, or hanging around germ infested hackers. Probably some combination of all three. I seem to be doing well so far, but Evil is very sick

So, out of curiousity, how many people who are sick also ate at Kady's on Sunday?

What happened to "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"?

At DC10 we changed that to "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except the diseases." Sorry must have forgot to send the memo :)

Other than hurting my back, I'm feelin fine. Shared my wine and flask with half a dozen people at least. Though I've got an immune system like... uhm.. something with a good immune system. :) Last time I got sick (8 years ago) it was food poisoning. I had a scratchy throat on Monday but that seems to be due to chain smoking all weekend.

I at at Kady's Sunday, but ate no meat, and am not sick.
I ate at the Riv buffet on Monday for breakfast, but ate no meat, and am not sick.

Re: Who's got the crud?

I at at Kady's Sunday, but only had French Toast.

If the sore throat and cough would stop, I think I would want to function more.

I have to say being sick after 3 days of fun is worth it... Work can live with me being a bitch and the clients will survive.

Had Kady's Sunday night, didn't down much of the food .. mt dew .. I murdered the toilet with syrupy laxative goodness when I made it back to the room and then called it good.

Boombox suggested to me:
"Maybe the crud comes from the person you slept with." heh-heh.

Re: Who's got the crud?

I am crudded, and seem to have passed it along to the loved one upon my return here.

She is none too pleased...

Remember the year we found out that the AP had turned off their filtration system?

Wait a moment, the AP actually HAS a filtration system?

Re: Who's got the crud?

[21:56] <IsraelT> ugh I just emailed my first sick day evar... luckily they saw me coughing up a lung and blowing out pounds of mucus the last couple of days.

[22:02] <IsraelT> yeah, massive sore throat, headaches, sweating like a bull on steriods....

Re: Who's got the crud?

I voted as perfectly healthy, but I may have spoken too soon. I seem to have some sort of throat thing that is developing very slowly. I did eat at Kady's about 3:30p on Sunday, but since I did not start developing this until Thursday, I'd rather blame the DMV (tuesday), though it was the day after I visited the dentist. I still prefer to lay the blame on the DMV, just because the dentist was nice to me. ;)

Re: Who's got the crud?

I'm hurtin' but it is likely my plane flights that did it to me.
