Chicken Pox
-
Last night my Wife and I were talked about chicken pox. We started talking about when we each got them, I was 7 and she was 10. Most people we know got them when they were younger(Well, the people we have known for a long time). That usually isn't a question you ask a new friend, unless you are weird. So, we are curious, how old were most people when they got them? Has anyone never had them, or were you older when you got them? Does anyone know anyone that got them after the age of, say, 18?

I had it when I was 10. I was a full week at home, and that's when I really got into programming. I remember trying to make a lottery game in GW-BASIC that I never finished (I had used QBasic before). Around that date I also started reading K&R C book.

every generation says the same thing about the one coming after it. :rolleyes:

I got them in the 5th or 6th grade which makes it 9 or 10 years old as I started first grade when I was 4.

They do but this time there is real cause for concern.

Nope, never had them. Do not plan to either ;)

We'll see I guess but I the coddling I see going on is so widespread and so harmful to the adult that those children are going to grow up to be some day that I can only make comparisons with children I knew growing up that were treated that way which was rare and without exception they've grown up to be some very fucked up adults.

Had it when I was 22, not much fun. I was out of action for nearly month at a time when I was meant to be finishing off the project element of my degree. This resulted in a month or so without any booze. First day back in circulation there was a promotional event - "Owd Rodger" (strong British beer) at some giveawy price. I remember saying to a friend, I've had quite a few of these and I can't feel the effect at all. A moment later it felt like someone hit me over the head with a shovel and inserted some fuzzy logic between my head and my legs. The rest is unpleasant history. Rich

I had them as a kid. My Ex actually has several skin defects because of chicken pox and no treatment at all (the biggest one, though, is a scar from some vaccination). I also had measles as a child, but I only got mumps when I was 16. When I was 18, I had scarlet fever, and had to wear a longtime ECG monitor/alarm because my heart had skipped some beats when I was at the doctors. Luckily, the heart muscle infection healed well.

I've never had chicken pox, but was exposed to it......at work!!!! It was 1 week before my wedding and some idiot that sat 6 feet away from me came into work with chicken pox!!!! I immediately called HR, and told them that if I develop chicken pox, I was going to have a lawsuit against them for every single penny I would lose on my wedding/honeymoon if I developed them. Within 5 minutes, they had security escort him out of the building. But it was an overly stressful time because of the fear of developing chicken pox before the wedding.
