I did and I remember it wasn't too much fun. Swelling, no exposure to sunlight (sun glasses), and not being able to go out and play. It pretty much sucked big gorilla ones. But that was back in the day when one kid in the neighborhood had something and you were sent to hang out with them. Anthrax, whooping cough, measles, diphtheria, the clap, or erectile dysfunction was no big deal. Go get it and get it over with.

Same here. Remember when your folks didn't want you to hang around little Johnny because he was a bad influence? Then, when they found out he had the measles, they wanted you to spend a week at his house? BastidsOriginally Posted by NA4BH

My parents sent me down the street to play with the kid who had bubonic plague.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
You had a street?

Got Mumps, Rubella (we called it German Measles) and chicken pox all in one spring. The school was shut down for a month. Never had to hang out with anyone. :vomit:

Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
We got our inoculations for that, damn socialist states...

Had all of them. Everyone in the neighborhood did.
In these parts, the death toll from substance (alcohol, drug) abuse was and is far higher than from all of those illnesses put together.

Nope. I had vaccinations for that stuff. You guys predate vaccinations? (I had chicken pox, though.)

Yes we predated them. I had them all as a kid. When I went to Iraq that allowed me to jump the Army vaccination line for most stuff, leaving all the young whipper snappers to complain about sore shoulders. But it catches up with ya! Now I see that stupid commercial for SHINGLES if your body has the chickenpox virus...Good Grief
