Good things about being sick?
 
Are there even any?
Loubie has been seek this whole week but keeps going to school anyway. I didn't go to school today because not only did I like disgusting but everything hurt and I couldn't breathe the only good thing I remembered was that I had a math test today. :V Sure, I was a bit prepaired for it but I guess that gives me a few more hours to study. I really hope my principal doesn't come to visit me again. - __ -; I am feeling a bit better but school is already out, 2 hours ago actually. Plus the office closes in a few minutes so there's not point to rush down there and get my work.

So, GD~

I want you to discuss:
Being sick
Bad things about being sick rather than the part of being sick
Good things about being sick
Nosy principals who go to your house at random just to "check up" on you.


Edit: He called me a few minutes ago. T_T;;

I'd have to disagree with you there, m'dear.

:V
I try to skip school as much as I can but unfortunately my momma will yell @ me if I do.

I just like to call it taking a holiday, when I'm sick I usually get fed and I don't have to worry about being punched in the head for missing school and my mothere lovesss me. -twirls- Besides the fact that I look like something I'd rather not look like I still get to relax and just focus on getting better.

I don't think there is anything good in it.. except if you get to use that as an excuse not to do something you really don't feel like doing x) like cleaning up.

a_shy_girl_1999 05-07-2008 05:12 PM

Well the good thing; you get to stay home ... but in the end is that really good? eh ... you get to stay home and feel like crap ... thats not exactly good is it? ... um ... Well you can play on the computer all day ;) thats a good thing. ...

but there are those who call in just because they want to stay home, so they just do what they want to during the day .. :angel:

The bottom part is me. Meh, I don't really get the worse grades in the world since I remember useless information so I can at least take a few days off. Not all bunched together, I spread them out. :]
Luckily for my mom my sister doesn't do this at all. She'll go to school even if she's dying, she just likes getting the little pin every day at the last day of school. She's usually the only one who gets it in her grade. e we;

Being sick is absolutely horrible. I hate it, and when I was a teacher cadet, and around kids all the time, I got sick almost ever week. It was awful. More than anything I hate sore throats. They drive me crazy. I can handle coughs, headaches, and stuffy noses but I cannot stand a sore throat.

What's good about colds? Well I'll usually get to stay home if I'm sick enough and then I get to watch my favorite movies. I usually plug in a Miyazaki film since I never have time to watch them all the way through. Sleep is great to, I never get as much sleep as I'm supposed to, or want to.

You know what else to good about colds. Making money. Yeah, I know, it's weird, but my anatomy teacher keeps talking about doing cold studies to get some extra cash and it really doesn't sound that bad. Sure you get a cold, but you also ge to hang out in a hotel for a week, order whatever you want, and make seven hundred dollars at the end of it.

That's nothing to sneeze at. (pun intended XD)

I was sick a couple weeks ago. I was THRILLED...because it was happening three weeks before the first concert I'm going to (ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, HELL YES!).

It was most definitely not anything that would last three weeks, and it cut the odds that I would be sick DURING the concerts down to next to nothing...because I have NEVER before gotten sick within three weeks of getting over something else.

That, and I got to stay home from work. Yay for that. ;p They hardly pay me at all, so I wasn't exactly losing much money. >.<; *minimum wage*

Victimless Crime 05-08-2008 12:13 AM

To me the only good thing about being sick is getting taken care of XD <3

fl3ur de lis 05-08-2008 04:15 AM

Hmm...
One good thing about being sick
is missing school?
XD

Oh, and sleeping.
But other than that, it's not very fun D:

Last Monday I think I had a stomach flu >.<
So I was up all night puking...
Which wasn't all that great D:

`Riddle 05-08-2008 09:42 AM

I'm sick right now, as well.
I missed out on my school camp! D=
I'm kind of upset about it.

Erm.
Good things... you get hugs from everyone when you get back to school?

Bad things... you have to catch up on work you missed out on. >>;

Rainy 05-08-2008 03:06 PM

Good things? You don't have to go to school.
Bad things- You still have to make up work and such D=

Javert 05-08-2008 04:10 PM

There is nothing good about being sick. >_<;. Right now, I don't feel PHYSICALLY sick, but I've had an infection for two weeks straight now(I've been taking antibiotics that don't seem to be doing anything except keep the fever down, and my doctor is out of town so I can't get new ones), and it's awful. The whole right side of my body hurts thanks to it. >_<;. And last week, I was so tired that I couldn't even watch TV without falling asleep. the only thing I could possibly find good about being sick is missing school- but even then, you have to do make up work. :(.

Erathene 05-08-2008 04:18 PM

The good things about being sick are you get to relax at home and take time out from the frantic worries of everyday life to try and recover ^.^
The bad thing for me about being sick is actually being sick, throwing up. I hate it >.<; I hate the feeling of my throat tightening and my stomach churning.. it's not nice :(

clock 05-08-2008 04:47 PM


I never really stayed home from school even when I was sick. xD I'd miss like two days of school for the whole year. I don't like missing school and being behind. >__<
But the good thing was the fact that I could just stay at home and rest. Or I could catch up on homework/play video games. :3

LittleSkyLark 05-08-2008 05:18 PM

Well some good things about being sick

You get to stay home
You don't have to work
You'll have sympathy
Hopefully someone will pamper/take care of you.
Gives you an excuse to have lots of chicken noodle soups/warm baths!

Bad things
You're sick.
Sometimes you're so sick that you don't want to eat which sucks. Or worse, you want to eat but can't!
You miss work/school work


So I guess if you can find good things from being sick it depends how sick you are.
For example if you have a cold/the flu you can still enjoy a lot of your day and may still be able to eat/hang out on Menewsha.
I guess the bad time comes when you're bed ridden, spewing, or uninterested in anything because you feel so bad.

There are no benefits of being sick unless you're drop-dead tired and you're in like extreme trouble at school the next day. For me, being such an Asian kid, I go to school even if I am sick. Unless I get extreme typhoid fever or something, I have to keep trudging on.

Being sick only grants you temporary relief from school or work. In the long run, it just adds more workload. =\

FAGGY CHAN 05-08-2008 09:22 PM

Only good things about being sick:
Lose weight.
Get to skip school/work.
People worry about you and shower you with affection.
Get to sleep 24-7. <3
Get people to cater to your needs. x3

Lassi 05-08-2008 09:46 PM

I'm miserable when I'm ill! There's nothing good about it oh my God!
And, getting out of school does not make it worthwhile, because you still feel bad, geez. I hardly catch ill, and when I do it's almost always because of someone else. People these days :o hehe.

Pasithea 05-08-2008 10:55 PM

The only good thing about being sick is that when it's over your immune system gets stronger because it now knows how to fight what you were just sick with. xD

That's why I think that getting sick is actually ok sometimes just because it teaches your body how to fight off certain illnesses.

I don't know why people think other people will pamper you though. :/ Whenever I am sick people run as far from me as possible. -.-;

Shloobi 05-08-2008 11:20 PM

A day off school/work isn't a bad thing in my opinion =3 plus people look after you and are really nice to you because you can't be mean to people who are ill... but on the other hand you know that they're only being nice to you while you're ill lol, and sometimes missing school can be worse because you feel like you missed so much when you come back!

I agree love that is the best part...<3

I don't think there's anything good about being sick. You would miss school, which people need an education. You would miss work, which you need to get paid, so you can get what you need with money.

XDDDD I just clicked here to see what was going on and I find you lol <3

But yeah. When I'm all yucky I like to be taken care of...-_-; Spoiled of us no?

Merrow 05-09-2008 01:12 AM

I hate being sick. I used to love it, because it got me out of work, but now I hate it because it gets me behind in my classes.

On another note, Loubie, are you okay? That sounds like a pretty bad illness. Bronchitis, maybe?
