Knock furiously on wood, but I’m specifically glad I’ve never had kidney stones, as they’ve plagued some in my family.

Migraines.

Tonsillitis.

Frequent vomiting (I hate to barf. I think I’ve done it about 3 times in the last 30 years. Seriously, the last time I did was in 1995.)

PMS. I simply don’t understand what people mean when they talk about it, because I’ve never experienced it.

Depression. Yeah, I get down sometimes, but I’m so grateful that I’ve never experienced true depression.

I dunno… I just got over the H1N1, and there were a couple of days filled with “I just wanna die” which was replaced with “I haven’t eaten anything in 30 hours. I probably should think about wanting to eat something.”
