Author Topic: Who else got sick (literally) after showest? Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-13-2003 09:00 PM                        I've been fighting the likes of something aweful for the last few days. has anyone else developed flu-like symptoms? Perhaps food is to blame Josh  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

YOU BUM! You beat me to it! I was going to say it was from all that RED meat! Josh: I sincerely hope you feel better. Paul told me the other day he had the same thing. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-13-2003 09:18 PM                        I had sushi for lunch today. Five different kinds of raw fish. There was tuna, salmon, some kind of whitefish I can't remember, and a couple other unidentified varieties. With seaweed wrap. MMmmm... Raw, slimy fish. (sorry) (that's twice today) I hate being sick. Get well.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-13-2003 09:22 PM                     You and me both Josh. I was sick for a few days after ShoWest too, but it's finally leaving (slowly). How much do you want to bet it was that waitress at your hotel who was sick that served us our food Thursday afternoon?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-13-2003 09:25 PM                        Waitpersons and other foodhandlers who are obviously sick on the job should be BANNED!! I HATE IT when someone handling my food is hacking up lung butter. A couple weeks ago I was at Wendys and the girl putting my order together was coughing all over it. I threw the whole thing in the trash and went somewhere else. It's not worth saving $3 to risk getting sick.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-13-2003 09:27 PM                  I agree about the waiters/waitresses. That has been a major source of illness for me too before. It REALLY annoys me when they sneeze on my food. I think the restaurants should not let them work when they are ill. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-13-2003 09:43 PM                        It has lessened to the point where I can run practice again, although very bundled up. I still wont go near the icing bath though. I heard Aaron got sick as well, hope you get better too, Brad. Thanks for the wishes guys. Josh  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

That's the only other place where everyone was together. Anyone know how Kat fared? WTF is an icing bath?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-13-2003 10:25 PM                     quote: I think the restaurants should not let them work when they are ill. Same goes for concessionaires at theaters! I don't know how many times I've walked up to a concession stand to be greeted by some sniffling, sneezing, coughing teenage kid rubbing their nose in their sleeve every thirty seconds. I had a friend that worked in a restaurant once who tried to call in sick, and they told him he HAD to come in NO MATTER WHAT since no one could cover for him. I wonder how many people got sick at THAT place that night. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-13-2003 10:43 PM                     Ky got sick too. He didn't eat anyplace you guys ate.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-13-2003 10:45 PM                     Its a version of "Legionaires Disease called "FilmTechers Disease'. Seriously though, get well and watch it out there.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

I think an "Icing Bath" is where track runners stand in a tub of ice-cold water to freeze their balls off after practice.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
