What might be making you a tad apprehensive, but might not, as it's too soon to tell - Page 31

Good deal.

Looks like Son of Glatt was more contagious than we thought: Minifobette just puked in her sleep. Not to worry though, it mostly just got on her face, her body, her hair, her pillow, all the sheets and blankets, the nightstand, and the carpet. No biggie.

orthodoc · 12-22-2013, 01:18 AM

Not at all, until minifob does the same.

Sorry, Clod ... hope the pain is short-lived.

glatt · 12-22-2013, 06:19 AM

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

The boy has a slight headache but is otherwise ok. Just needs some fluids.

Griff · 12-22-2013, 07:47 AM

Where will the cellar contagion land next?

Griff · 12-23-2013, 07:36 AM

... right here at home. Lil' Pete has my version.

glatt · 12-23-2013, 07:53 AM

I'm sorry.

I hope it stops with her.

Facebook is starting to be peppered with similar stories across the country.

And as I type this, I realize I was just rubbing my face without knowing it. It's no wonder these viruses are so successful. Did I wash my hands since I got off the Metro? Can't remember. Don't think so.

orthodoc · 12-24-2013, 12:17 AM

I'm sorry, griff. I hope Lil' Pete bounces back quickly.

It's difficult to train yourself not to touch your face, but it can be done (at least for defined high-risk times). Probably a good practice when in public areas.

Griff · 12-24-2013, 08:37 AM

Yeah, we should be conscious of our hands. This entered my classroom maybe 2 1/2 weeks ago. We wash hands rigorously but I messed up somewhere.

Some Alaska Airlines flights won't fly today due to their pilots' flu

Not necessarily. Some are airbourne. Short of living in a germ-free bubble, there isn't much you can do.

I read last year that a humidifier is good because the moisture in the air makes the airborn viruses get soggy and fall to the floor. Dry indoor air is the perfect environment for viruses to just float around where you can breathe them in. And it's the main reason illnesses peak in winter months.

That ... and the little mobile Petri dishes are not outside playing.

...aaaand now Minifob is puking. Took the gold in both distance as well as number of items sullied--it was nothing less than over and past the nightstand for this champ. Tomorrow at 9 am, we head out for seven hours in the car followed by three days with the in-laws. Merry Christmas everyone, you'll never guess what we brought you!

orthodoc · 12-25-2013, 11:32 PM

Don't do it to yourselves ... stay home. You have the best of reasons.
