http://www.cdc.gov/DiseasesConditions/ (http://www.cdc.gov/DiseasesConditions/)

Pick a couple out of the list and then you can contribute to the conversation with conditions that you or a close friend have been 'diagnosed' with.

If you can combine horrific, disgusting and potentially contagious then you are on to a winner. eveilgrin:

Well, only the other day I was thinking to myself how lucky I was that I hadn't put me back out, well after I had touched wood like I bent over and blow me I couldn't stand up straight, I had put my back out something bad. It made me hobble I tell you, hobble and me with my gouty toe. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for my bunions playing up (does anyone get bunions these days?) red and throbbing as they were it fair made my insides drop out....
