I put on a wife-beater, drink half a bottle of Nyquil and play Xbox.
That, my friend, is America.

I think he's poking fun at the nickname you've devised for your grandma. Don't feel bad, we all have one. And if it helps at all, that movie wasn't very good.soren7550 said:

OT: I punch the disease right in the face and keep on going!
Either that or lay at home and read/game/internet >.>
When I'm Ill I'll just play some Video Games or maybe contemplate things. More or less a normal day. Except with more hours because no obligations need to be fulfilled.
Depends what I have to do when I had pneumonia I felt deathly ill for a day then forced myself to continue running and practicing for soccer since we had a tournament coming up. Of course pneumonia isn't half bad with the right medication.
But last time I was sick probably the flu, I took two days off college slept about 12 hours a day and studied while I was awake. I got sick literally three days before the final for my hardest class that semester, I couldn't relax half as much I wanted to.
My body likes giving out on me when I have something important to do otherwise I never get sick.

Depends on if I have to work that day or not (or If I am sick enough to warrant calling off in the first place).
If I have to work, I take some mild meds(A lot of cold/allergy medicine knocks me out, even the "non-Drowsy" kind) and push through, using being whiny and talking in my Batman voice. I tend to lose my voice when I get sick.
If I don't have to work, or feel bad enough to call in, I'll take some strong meds to knock my ass out and I sleep it off. Once I get to the point where I can't force myself to sleep I'll usually make some soup and start gaming, and carry on like a normal day off, minus going out of course.

No matter the illness (even if it is a serious stomach problem) I eat 2X my weight in food, drink my weight in gatorade and grape juice, curl up in my bed or on a couch and either fall asleep to some classic history channel programming or play Animal Crossing.
Seriously, Animal Crossing is the best game to play when sick.

Lay down on the living room couch and watch anime on Netflix that I haven't finished.
It's gotten me through FLCL, Baccano!, and Gurren Lagann.
The next ones will probably be Soul Eater and Gunslinger Girl.

A whole glass of water every hour and lots of sleep. Maybe some video games or internet, but that's about it. Oh, and comfort food! Gotta have comfort food. P:
I make myself Adrak chai, the meanest tea ever designed by mankind and chug it down, repeating this process for few times.
It tears through most sicknesses like fire through wooden houses.
It's also spicy delicious, as added bonus.

Pretty much this. It hasn't been quite that long for me, but I usually wind up going to work/school and wishing I was actually sick enough to justify staying home.JoJo said:
As for what I do on sick days, when I have them: lay in bed, alternately napping and doing sedentary activities (reading, surfing the web, watching TV, maybe some gaming...)
Sleep, Cup of Noodles, and video games/TV.
Thinking about adding sky diving into the mix, since everyone already does Sleep, Cup of Noodles, and video games/TV.

Depends on the severity.
Annoying cold: parked in the couch watching movies/current show of choice with a cup of tea or cocoa.
Annoying cold w/ eye irritation (clogged tear ducts): Same as above, with sunglasses and/or a wet handkerchief over my eye, cursing like a pirate and looking like one too.
Fever/nausea/real nasty stuff: Keep myself hydrated and sleep like a bear.
Occasionally when I have the sniffles, sweetheart gets me sushi to cheer me up. The wasabi really clears up the sinuses, and also, sushi is awesome.

I either sleep, play games or read stuff on the internet. So basically nothing changes unless its the type of sickness where hot soup helps. I love being sick with that.
If I'm so sick that I have to take the day off, I'd usually spend it napping, playing games, playing with LEGO, watching movies/shows.
Come to think of it, aside from the napping that's pretty much what I do when I'm healthy as well.

Vegatate completely, not moving at all and just focus on getting better. I've never gotten really sick, and the rare occasions I did, it was cleared up in less than a day.
Hasn't stopped me from taking some sick days at work every now and then, being sick of going to work counts dammit!
