Is that health condition a little bit of everything ?? lol

The only thing that you really want to get twice is chicken pox. Well you don't actually get it twice. Once you have Chicken Pox the "virus" stays in your body and only becomes active later in life and then they call it Scabbies. And the name fits, it is a rash that is extremely painful. I have never had it, but I know my sister was actually hospitalized when she got it.


Anyway, I don't do the flu shot. I have kids, so I am going to get colds every other day at my house. So why waste the money. lol

Ms .... me thinks you have Scabbies and Shingles mixed up as you might have the flu and the common cold considered the same. ..... and then there is the question of mumps, measles and chicken pox ,,,,, and why do they called them chicken pox when you dont catch them from chickens?? LOL

I don't doubt that I have them mixed up. This past cold has left me feeling run down and as grumpy has said "out of it". It is getting better. Sorry.
