Thread: Bowling While Sick As A Dog?

    Maybe I'lll go and wear a surgical mask while I bowl. I feel terrible right now, so it's not looking good. Don't even know if I can get the ball into may backswing without dropping it, I'm so weak. I hope the worst had passed, but I think the worst is here now.

    No way, man. Its just not worth it. Cut your losses, stay home and get better. As a matter a fact, i think you owe it to the other bowlers as a sign of respect. Its bowling, its fun. Skip it. Dont be miserable. Youll have no idea how you do anyway because youre not healthy.

    I can understand not wanting to miss something important at work. Work is your livelihood. I go to work sick when i have to, because i need my job. But this is a hobby. Id be pissed if someone got me sick while bowling just because they wanted to see how they would do.

    Stay home. Dont even think about going any more. Your last pist answered your question for you.

    Not being able to hold the ball into back swing is a good sign that your to sick to bowl,not to mention that you'll most likely get weaker as the night wears on,so why risk collaspsing from fatigue and ending up in hospitol. Stay home and get well to bowl another day!

    I wanted to go, but I am just not up to it. Today the vomiting returned, so I don't think bowling right now is a high priority. There will always be other torneys.

    Thanks everyone, I feel better after a nap. Not enough to bowl, but not miserable either. I started the Ginger Ale this morning ater losing my breafast. Made the wife go get some. I'll just lay here all day and watch the 30 Bowl games on TV today.

    Missed a good one. I pretty much repeated my Thanksgiving result. With handicap, Thanksgiving I went 798, today I went 799. My buddy went 801, because the book said he had a 110 average. If he used this years average, he wood have gone 720. Cutoff for the money was 820's, and stepladder was high 830's. I was much more consistent than Thanksgiving. That night I had one monster game that made my night. I had one good game, and two bad games, but that one game was a 313 w handicap. Tonight, I has one bad game, then 3 good games. I was making spares so well, only 5 opens in 4 games. For me that's good. 3 of those misses were splits. I had fun, and I can't wait to do it again.

    Good bowling. I was slepping while you were laying it down. Would have been fun being there, and trying to keep up with you. Next time for sure.
