...who caught a crud this weekend?  I came down with a sore throat on Sunday night that continued into Monday, and now I've got a full-blown sinus cold thing going on.  I don't think I shared a mug or anything with anybody on Monday, but just in case...watch out.  I know I definitely did on Saturday, so...still watch out.  Apologies in advance if I'm the spreader of this year's ren crud.   :-[

There was some talk of this over on FB - a few others have come down with something as well.  Given that most of us spent three days running full tilt with little sleep, in association with about 20,000 strangers or so, it's not unexpected.

You know, we had a thread last year called the Sickie Roll Call. I think we determined that MOLDEN was Patient Zero. And you know, with all the kissing and hugging and drinking after random rennies, it's a wonder that we're not all seriously infected with ebola!!!

Here's to the RenDezFLU!!!!

No doubt.  Add that to the people who were traveling on planes (like myself) before they even got there, and it's no wonder.

Hope your feeling better and get well fast!    my allergies were bothering me a little this weekend, but nothing out of the ordinary.   With the start of fall allergy season,and the dust and wet summer, I wolder what the mold count was around the faire grounds?

I had a minor sore throat on Monday night.  I attributed it to long days, lots of activity, not enough sleep, singing with intent to out-loud Molden,  and passing flasks around like a lab centrifuge.

I had a tot of rum and 9 hours of sleep.    I feel great.    8)

Yep, caught it, too.  Hit me Tuesday.  Still got a wee bit of a sniffle going.

Same here for me... I just got a little bit of my voice back today, but still not 5 by 5.  Still... this would never deter me from wishing my friends well *HUGS & KISSES*!!!

Umm, hate to tell you folks, but I just got called back into medical from my Tuesday visit.  Confirmed strep.  So if you're still feeling out of sorts, might wanna go to your doc and see if you need some mold pills.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Easy way to kill strep, if it is, indeed a non-threatening case of strep- gargle with a mouthfull of apple cider vinegar, then swallow. Repeat twice daily...

I have been peeing Smithwicks for 3 days now ... is this the same thing??

I also cut my arm and Guinness sprayed all over the place!

I hope this is cure-able!
