They won't even listen to the I-told-you-so's? That ain't fair.

Today, I learned that I need to be careful about buying tennis shoes at Hot Topic.

Yeah, Rockette went thru a Hot Topic phase. Now, she's 16 and too old for that. For clothes, we go to Bebe and Rampage now. As for shoes, the hippest girls wear the retro Chuck Taylors in black (Foot Locker, etc.)

Hot Topic? Isn't their primary clientele 13-year-old girls?

13 year old goth girls, IIRC. They also do some retro punk.

Maybe, but the 16 yo girls are into "Classic Metal". Ozzfest meets Bebe.

tut, tut. So quick to judge! Just because I found a pair of fierce tennis shoes there and bought them and just because I am no longer 13 does not mean that there isn't a 13 year-old girl inside me somewhere wanting these shoes!

does that sound right?

I wasn't judging. I was just asking for my own information. You know I just can't keep up with all this stuff.

Learned this on Tues, but just got back to work today...had infuenza AND strep throat for the last 5 days...

875 mg of amoxicillin, even when taken with food, can cause one the immense displeaseure of vomiting. Break those pills in half folks, and take 'em an hour apart.

Oh, and "immediate care" doctors are idiots.

This sounds like the plague that Mrs. Elspode is currently battling...fifth day into the sickness, and third day off of work. Nasty red sore throat, with everything having begun in her chest like a thunderbolt from the blue, segueing into body aches, fever, chills and generally feeling like shit.

Iowa isn't that far removed from KC, so perhaps you two are sharing a common affliction.

Husband of a co-worker is in the middle of the same. How likely is it that you'd get strep and flu concurrently?

I missed work yesterday flat on my back with aches sinus/chest congestion and sore throat. I gotta get to bed.

How do you know you have/had strep and flu concurrently?
If a little birdie told you, it could be H5N1.

Fever (102+), massive aches --like I got hit by a bus, extreme exhaustion = influenza + throat so sore/swollen I literally couldn't swallow for 2 days, with positive strep test at Dr. office = flu and strep.

I ate a total of 3 bowls of oatmeal and maybe 4 glasses of tea in 4 days b/c I couldn't swallow and was to tired to fix anything but hot water. No, hubby didn't help because he literally stayed 10 feet away from me the whole time. With a can of Lysol lest I breathe in his direction.
