It HAS to be.

Will have some free time to post a lot in the next week! :woot:

But thatLs because I was diagnosed with rubella, the contagious childrenLs disease yesterday. Despite the vaccination I got when I was 13 ... :sweat:

Maybe all that alcohol over the years nullified the effects of the vaccine. Hang in there!! :patpat:

Wow, that is so bizarre.

They had a big ad campaign for the vaccine when I was a kid.
They called it getting under the Rubella Umbrella.
Hope youre not feeling to evil with it. :fingerscrossed:

EstherM.

Is rubella the same as 'measles' ? If so I think you have to protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses if possible, even indoors. The light has a bad effect on vision at this time.
Not entirely sure... but take care anyway.,

Lol about the rubella umbrella. The doctor on Saturday told me that the vaccine is about 90% efffective. I was just in the unlucky 10%.
ItLs not too bad, I just have the urge to rub my scratching body against pretty much everything.

No thanks god itLs not the same disease. I am covered in small spiky red dots and my joints ache a little but thatLs about it. The problem with rubella is that itLs mild for children and adults but very dangerous for unborn babies. If a pregant woman gets sick the baby is often born with disabilities. This is why I will be "grounded" next week - my colleagueLs wife is pregant and so are a few women on my working floor. The risk is just too high despite vaccinations.

A few Stella Artois and some Moules Frites will take care of your problem. Doctor Triky's order.

:lol: Actually sounds like my life every winter.
My skin is sensitive to the cold, dryness. Like having poison ivy for months.
Hang in there, girl! :patpat:

Are there any health benefits with wasabi?

Actually it's supposed to be anti-bacterial...that's why they used it in the preparation of Edomae sushi...remember this was years before refrigeration was invented :)

It also has some anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits.
