   If he can still drag himself to work, it’s nowhere near a 10.

   I use getting my thumb crushed as 10. The worst cold I’ve had was a 6 and that was with enough sinus pressure that my vision was distorted.

   No a 10 is passing a kidney stone…. Ahhh!

   Nope, they don’t make a scale high enough for passing a kidney stone!!

   Back to poor Joe there, I don’t think Crunchy realizes how nice it can be at home sick with a couple of active toddlers about.

   You and Jessica are both correct…kidney stones are off the chart!!!

   Calcium oxilate or uric acid…there is no pain quite like that.

   Passing a kidney stone = infinity. Nothing else like it, thank goodness.

    I’ve seen big football type guys on the ground crying because of a kidney stone. I’ve been there myself – no fun

    So are gout attacks.

    But, why do people work when they have a cold, or at least why don’t they take precautions by wearing breath masks and gloves.
    Every person who thinks it’s a show of strength to work with a communicable disease spreads the germs around, coughing sneezing and shaking hands with others.

    I was taught to go to school or work no matter how badly I felt unless it was the flu. At which time, I couldn’t even get out of bed.

    The last time I stayed home from work sick, I had pink eye, and the only reason I stayed home is because my parents warned me how contagious it was!!!

    @ellisaana

    Actually, those are kidney stones in the joints…been taking allopurinol for years. Stops stone formation by lowering the uric acid in your system. Haven’t had an attack in years!!!
