| Forum: The Classroom Topic: Chicken Pox started by: Wiley  Posted by Wiley on May 25 2002,08:04My new wife just got the chicken pox  She thought she got bit by a few mesquitos is Fiji (which was odd because I have no bites) but when I came home from work today and took one look at her I was like "um ...hon ...you got the chicken pox". She now has about 50 bumps on each arm and leg ..and they are moving up her back. poor poor Mrs.Wiley  If you haven't had them then get a vaccine from your doctor now. Don't put it off and end up with a suprise one day. Now, I must go scratch her itches.  Posted by veistran on May 25 2002,08:36The Chickenpox, now there's a painful childhood memory there.  Posted by Bob_the_Cannibal on May 25 2002,18:29scratching makes it worse  calamine lotion, barring that, fill a bath tub with water, and mix in some baking soda.  Posted by BlackFlag on May 25 2002,18:32tub filled with warm water and regular unvlavored oatmeal works wonders (or watse money and buy Aveno to get the same thing.) chickenpox and measles are dangerous for adults. you can die from it.

Posted by Rhydant on May 25 2002,18:49chickenpox is a simple form of herpes. tell her that    Posted by Wiley on May 25 2002,20:50Gee  ...I feel much better now.  Posted by Rhydant on May 25 2002,22:28quit your whining. its not like you have them go get her some calamine lotion.  Posted by Wiley on May 25 2002,23:26I heard that Lanacaine is better  ...and they have better comercials. Lanacainturns off the itch ..like a switch (how can you not buy into that) I just worry that she'll get really sick ...and not be able to cook me dinner    Posted by compact3000 on May 26 2002,19:28hey at least you got someone to cook you dinner...    Posted by TheTaxMan on May 26 2002,20:14I keep mistaking compact3000 for nikita...  Posted by Nikita on May 26 2002,23:35yea, y'all pick another avatar, goddamnit!
