> The worst thing about chicken pox is that they have immunizations against them NOW but not ten years ago when I could have used them. Suck. I think I'll expose my kids, when I have them, to the chicken pox just in case the vaccine doesn't work. This is after they're properly immunized, of course.

I've always heard that ifyou have chicken pox as a kid, you're prone to shingles when you get older, which is basically a case of the chickenpox. I wouldn't trust my knowledge, though :-)

Augh, when I had the chickenpox, I bathed in oatmeal.. I was six and enjoyed staying underwater for small amounts of time. I'd dunk my head under the oatmeal bath, and eventually got an ear infection because of it ;-)

I also now have this little hole/indent/thing right between my eyes because I picked at a pox while I had it. It's really weird.
