UPDATE 1st Post: There will be no show this week due to the FLU.

[Hpyhiker]

Wash your hands frequently -and- stay out of the damn lakes! Be careful, the flu isn't something to be reckless with this year.

FYI, the NY Times referred to the DISboards in an article about H1N1 and WDW/DL. So it must be because you guys hang out at the park to much...

And it appears that the DISboards themselves are infected...there are a whole lot of "empty" threads in the Theme Parks board.

In all seriousness, take care and be well.

Been listening to the podcast for a few weeks now, thought I would jump in.

Why don't you use Skype to record the show?

I've wondered the same thing. I think that it just wouldn't be the same. A lot of the funny moments come from the team actually seeing each other and the quality wouldn't be as good. But, if push comes to shove, then it is an option. I doubt they'll do it though. I don't mind. Whatever makes them comfortable.

Some tech podcasts I listen to have done very well with Skype - but I think they generally use high end microphones as well. But it probably wouldn't be the same without there being some face to face interaction, even though we can't see it. Of course, a webcam could solve that...

Glad to hear your DW is on the mend
And it looks like the boards are too

The worst part of the flu in our house was the bronchitis that will try to follow it. My son was able to shake it off the day I took him back to the Dr, but I had to do a bunch of antibiotics. So pay close attention to how you are doing after the flu is gone.

Hope the team is well and recovered soon!

 

[DisneyDaddy-O]

Hope everyone is feeling better real soon.

We just had something go through our house, my older boy was home for 5 days with low grade fever and cough. He has gone back to school and says nearly half his class is sick, his bus was also pretty empty.

And to those who have lost anyone to H1N1, take care of yourselves and our prayers go out to you.

Just wanted to add my "get well soon" wishes. Take care of yourselves, team! Especially you, Julie!

I OF COURSE want everyone to be and remain healthy. Above all other things, it is what I want for all mankind. If you're sick, you're sick. Stay home and get better (and don't infect others.) That the best thing to do. So, there's that.

But you all are really forcing me to work here. I'm leaving on Saturday and my flight is about 2 hours, 20 minutes. They take off about 20 minutes at take-off and landing, leaving about one hour and 40 minutes of time to fill...which the podcast(s) fills nicely. I read a magazine on takeoff and landing and I listen in the air.

Now what the hell am I supposed to do? Music, I guess. But then I'll sit there starting to listen to a song and thinking, "No, I don't feel like this song...what else is there..." - and so it will go, on and on. I could rent a movie, but they're always too long to get through. TV shows? I just don't know.

I am lost without my podcast.

bumping this message up since people are asking if there's a show this week.

FWIW, I hope all who aren't feeling well get to feeling better, and that anyone who was feeling fine stays that way (or even better!)

See update in Post # 1

 

[kaligal]

I was teasing about you all leaving me in the lurch. It's true that I'm bummed about missing the podcast, but OF COURSE want everyone to get better soon and stay healthy.

Being sick sucks.

 

[Tarzan513]

Thanks for the update, I hope everyone feels better! One thing that I am doing right now is going through all of the old podcasts, which is great because I get to listen to the podcast everyday! I know this isn't helpful for everyone else who has already done this, but...if you have not yet done this, listen to some of the archived shows...they are soooo good and funny. Plus they will help you get through weeks when there is no show.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

Poor Pete. The flu is just getting everyone.

Drink plenty of liquids and feel better soon!

 

[Disney Khi]

Oh, please don't worry about us! Just focus on staying well. Get well soon, Pete! Get lots of rest and chicken soup. And at least you will have gained immunity to whatever flu you caught!

 

[Kimberle]

Hope you are feeling better, Pete!

 

[daneenm]

Feel better Pete! As DD's doctor told me, it is all about fever control and LOTS of fluids! Take care of yourself.

Feed a cold,

Starve a Troll.

I'm just sayin'....

Oh...

Now see, I always thought it was Feed a Troll, starve a cold... I'm forever getting those mixed up...

I'd better make some chicken soup and climb into my leopard-print Snuggie just to be on the safe side....
