I've Been Short Changed

There are 3 things in life that everyone has experienced except for me!
  1. Mono(nucleosis)
  2. Poison Ivy
  3. Bee stings
I had a doctor tell me that I am immune to mono. I have played man-hunt in fields full of poison ivy and come out of the game as the only one who wasn't covered and itching. And, though I have been irritated to no end by their damned buzzing, no bee has actually stung me! ... It's just... It's just frustrating. I mean- I'm so useless when these things happen to the people around me. I can't empathize. I can't say "I know how you feel". I can't say "this is what I did to help"... I just sit there thinking "I wonder what that feels like"...

Hey being stung by a bee sucks. And I, too, am not allergic to poison ivy... sad day... oh well i guess we can use it as a weapon or something. What?

You are so funny! :)

I have never had poison ivy, either, and I have been told I'm just not allergic to it. The same could probably be said about you. :)

I also have never had mono, but used to wish I had so I could lose weight and sleep all day! Haha.

And bee stings! UGH, they are the worst. I got stung this summer and it still hurt like crazy. You don't grow out of that pain!
