things to do when you're sick

(Since a google search turned up nothing on this, I thought I'd do my part to make the Internet as comprehensive as possible. Here goes).

-- watch "The Last Starfighter" and laugh at the special effects
-- teach your cat to play fetch with a featherduster
-- listen to your friends plan their weddings
-- read Stephen King novellas
-- find the latest updates on the Tongan royal family
-- call in sick to work, only to discover that you have called the wrong secretary and your whole class is sitting there, waiting for you to show up
-- drink apple juice by the gallon
-- marvel at the difference in temperature between your two ears
-- watch your muscles atrophy
-- blog

At last check, the temperature was 99.6. Blah.

Another idea for sickies (not sickos):go to www.comics.com and www.ucomics.com and read all of the strips from the last month or so. If you don't get a daily newspaper, it's nice to see how themes carry across the daily strips. If you do, you can find new favorites not in your local paper. My current favorite on comics.com: Pearls Before Swine. It's about Rat and Pig. They're great.

Posted by: alissa on July 27, 2003 10:03 PM

aaah! nothing to do... nothing to do... are we allowed to add to this list? 'cos nothing on that list actually applied to me... except for the last four. They're universal.

i think u should not have things that r supposed to bring laughter to ppl reading them but actully put some thought into it and think of something to do when ppl r sick because ims ick right now and im all alone and i cant talk on the internet because all my friends are at school and i cant call them either so what am i supposed to do?????????

i think you need more silly things on "things to do when your sick" not as much common things like read stephen king books

Posted by: Jenna on May 20, 2004 05:35 PM

Thank you for a fantastic web page! It's just what i need. :-) Something totally silly and abstract....cos what else can you do when you're sick? And everyone who doesn't like it shouldn't waste their precious time posting stupid comments. Hehehe. Anyway, congrats on a great page! Cheers :-)

Posted by: Anna on May 21, 2004 06:35 PM

The things you wrote would be good for a person with kids and stuff but not for a 13 year old kid! I think you should put things for kids. thanks = )

im sick right now and i watched a few movies on the IFC and BRavo. great stories to watch. its pretty boring, for the most part, because you can't go out, and if you do, its too hot, or too cold. and when you're in bed, it's too hot, or too cold, all the time...all time time, ALL THE TIME!!!! ive taken a few tylenols, however, and they seem to work. just a few more days to go. im praying.

Posted by: victor on June 11, 2004 05:41 PM

Wow you would think that this was a list of the only things you are allowed to do when you are sick by these comments. I have been stuck at home and in bed for over two months, if you are really sick and bored you will find things to do, you can even use this list as a suggestion.

Posted by: Amy on September 1, 2004 11:27 PM

Well I agree with practically everyones comments-you need sum for kids!! I've been sick all this week and im sitting on my butt at home and i've watched every single episode of the simpsons coz i have them all on DVD and now i have nuthn to do. And my friends are all at school.

The last starfighter special effects were funny when they were in the theatre. Theraflu sucks. temperature 101. Need more interesting things to do.

Posted by: Robert on October 11, 2004 08:24 AM

well i'm sick too. i guess everyone is as pathetic as me and looked up "things to do when you're sick" or something like that anyway. your ideas are more just trying to be funny...or what you did when you were sick, so i dont know why people are thinking that these are the only possible things to do when they are sick and that EVERYONE MUST DO ALL OF THESE THINGS!!...im bored so i thought i would come and complain about something and i picked YOUR site to do it on :D HAHA i don't particularly want to do anything on this list of yours so i think i will try somewhere else...

Posted by: Alyce on October 28, 2004 06:36 PM

um hello you should post stuff for kids cause i am at home sick and i want something to do i cant instant message my BFF's cause they are all at school!!!!!1

Posted by: Janie on November 4, 2004 04:48 AM

This website was totally boring first of all there are no colors other than black and white and there are not any pictures ZZZzzzzZZzzz ZZzzz... You don't need to put things that r supposed to bring laughter to people, I mean my stomach is killing me and if I laugh I'm going to blow chuncks!!
