Things you learn when you have the flu..

- Showers are refreshing. Getting the strength to take them, is a different story.

- Maury & Judge Judy are addicting.

- The main ingredient in Chicken Noodle Soup is chicken stock. What is that? It doesn't sound too tasty.

- Being home with the flu doesn't mean your boss won't call you about work.

- And the flu does not mean that your best friend will not call you and badger because you're not eating enough.

- I drunk 7 gallons of Cranberry/Grape, Grapefruit, Apple & Orange juice in 4 days. Can't tell me I'm not staying hydrated.

- I cannot sleep with my mouth open.

- When you miss American Idol, you really don't miss much.

- There is a difference between "Theraflu" and "Tamaflu".

- Oh, and when you're a male stripper - you can be on American Idol. If your a big girl and pose naked - that's another story.

- They will interrupt "Search for the Garden of Eden" on History:International at 3:30am to broadcast an Amber Alert, but they won't start back over where they left off. And I was really into that too, bastages.

- The flu makes you feel like you have ran the NY marathon, three times. In a row. With no bathroom break.

- Sci-fi channel has a habit of running marathons throughout the day. Yesterday, it was GhostHunters. Today it was X-Files. Too bad it was "post-Mulder" later episodes.

- This guy is denying that he's the father of this child because he only has one testicle. Did these people not see Sex & The City?

- Independence Day was actually a pretty good flick. Self-important. But, good flick regardless.

- Eating golden grahams isn't a good idea.

- When you have lap-band, you get nauseous because your pouch isn't big enough to hold the drainage. Knowing doesn't make it feel any better though.

- Patrick Swayze has cancer. Dude. That sucks.
