Did you take the baths in that pepto-bismol colored additive? I remember that. I just remember my best friend had the chicken pox. I was like, "Mom, what if I get the chicken pox" "No honey, you won't get it." In 3 days I had it at age 4 or 5. I don't remember it being that bad.

Ah yes! Calamine lotion (I think). I can still recall the smell.

Ewww...I got the chicken pox when I was 14 and they were really bad! I started with just a couple pox on the first day, a lot more on the second, and then an explosion on the third day. I remember my mom coming into my room on the morning of the third day, before I had a chance to look in the mirror, and I'll never forget her reaction..."Oh my gosh!" as if she's seen the devil. I ran to the bathroom to see for myself and just freaked out and cried hysterically. Not a good thing to get as a teenager! And yes...I recall the Calamine lotion as well as taking baths in baking soda water. It was so gross and it left scars to remind me of it every day.

Pics???
Ok Ok only kidding here. Please do not post pics. haha

I think someone could put a picture of a white wall and rickeydog would like it.

Rickeydog sure likes his pictures...

Like Dan, I was very young when I had the chicen pox. Much harder on a young, teen aged lady. You must've had a very serious outbreak. I don't thing I have any scars. At least none caused by chicken pox.

Merry Christmas, Mary.

I apologize for my comments, Sonicfox. My initial statement was off the cuff and I didn't realize what I had said until I read it again. I meant no ill will towards you. My bad.

Awww gosh...no offense taken! The scars are like white circles, some raised and some flat. I've got one right on my left ****! Want a pic?! HA!HA! See...I can fit right in with the rest of you guys!

Merry Christmas to you too, Jack! You're such a sweetie!

Thank you, Ma'am. You fit in just fine, around here. However, after your response to Michael, now I want pictures. WOOF!

Yes, I know you could be referencing your left arm, but you know men. What is it? Every 18 seconds, or something like that. Now I'm an old guy, so I've probably slowed down a lot. For me, maybe it's only every 30 seconds or so. You women will never know what it's like to be a slave to testosterone.
