I know 2 or 3 or us that were at canoecopia last weekend that now have come down with some cold or viral infection. I feel terrible.

Who else came home with the canoecopia crud?

I confess, it was ME! Sicker'n a dog till today. Stayed home Tuesday with a head ready to blow up. Slept on a pile of towles to absorb the drool and snot running freely.
My humble apologies to all so infected.

You butthead! :) I'm sure there were plenty of sicko's there, so you weren't the only one spreading it. I'd gotten over it just a week before copia myself. Hope you all are feeling better!

Well, I didn't even GO and I have been sick with sinus cold all week. I have been wondering if our early spring gave me a mega-allergy attack. Today is the first day that I have been able to breathe since Sunday night.

I suppose I should have said "breathe easily", right? :-)

My, my, you are a stickler for the details. We tend to get cranky when we are sick, don't we? I hope we all feel better soon.

Hand sanitizer gel in my bag fended off the germs for us. Not to mention obsessive proper hand washing. Probably the most valuable thing I learned in nursing school.

I'm fine too. However, I was getting a little paranoid when one of the people we were sharing the lunch tabke with kept coughing.

I'm OK, but I believe it has something to do with alcohol consumption during the Copia weekend. ;-)

I was just getting over it....still had a nagging cough. While sitting in a hot, sweaty seminar room, I could hear many people hacking. I hate crowds......
Lilcowdoc came down with something after she got home.

Well, I guess I'm the lucky one. After all the hand shakes, I'm still ok. Sorry you guys are down. Get well.

We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

All the hand shakes and you're the only one that's OK???
Sounds to me like we found the culprit that spread the disease! :)

I work in Madison and it has been going around. My wife has had it for 3 weeks and can't shake it. Many of her coworkers have or had it.

I hope not. These southern germs would make everyone start sayiing "y'all" and "bless your heart".

Nope, Can't be Jerry!! I don't think I've ever said "bless your heart", especially when I'm not feeling well. Can't be his germs. LOL

izzy, do you think your method would work with Rootbeer?

Wife had the crud and it took her two weeks to shake it.
I have had it for a week now. No friggin' energy.
