Kids have a real fear of missing out. I maybe stayed home from school sick a handful of times. Parents always called my bluff so I kinda gave up trying. In high school I'd just play hookie periodically.
Now that I'm older and working age, I have a hard time calling in sick. I don't want to waste a sick day on days I'm actually sick. I can't stand sitting around. So I tell myself I'll call in on a day I can go golf. Well, when those days come around, I don't call in sick because I'm afraid someone from work will also be on the course on their actual day off.

College football or FIFA video games all day long.

Crazy shite always happened when I stayed home sick. I was home sick watching TV both when the Oklahoma City bombing happened and the WACO siege. There was a break in programming for special report both times.
The world is better off when I'm healthy.
Same. I was mad AF when they cut from Press Your Luck to show the Challenger take off. I remember as a kid wanting CBS to switch back to PYL once the boosters exploded.

I may be in the minority here, but I hated it. It sucked only having the Price is Right, Days of our Lives, and the different court shows to watch. I do miss the Pastina my mom used to make though.

Challenger take off
Same! I was in seventh grade and home sick that day as well and was pissed that the coverage and aftermath interrupted my game show and soap opera watching. I was in DC two weeks ago and saw the Challenger memorial at Arlington which reminded me of that day. I definitely feel differently about it as an adult.

There were a ton of soap operas on back then. The Days of our Lives opening always reminded me of being home sick.

I would stay home, watch Turner classic movies or saved by the bell episodes until I fell back asleep. Got up around noon for lunch and video games

Moms didn't play that game. She she was a nurse, so she got out the thermometer and you had to have a legit fever or see/hear you barfing.
When I was that sick, I just wanted to get better.

I played Bases Loaded on the NES all day. I won a few games which was rare because I was terrible. I wasn't even that sick. First true homesick memory.

I was home sick when the Challenger Shuttle exploded. Remember it like it was yesterday.

I would kill to just spend a day in bed
I don't spend the day in bed, but I love a cold, rainy weekend day. Feel like I can do nothing productive and not feel too guilty about it.

Agreed!
Every year around Christmas time I hope for a cold rainy day so I can brew a pot of coffee and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended editions. That's about 9 hours of Tolkien/Jackson magic.

Never remember staying home and actually being sick. Played sick a couple times to watch UNC in early rounds of March madness around 8th/9th grade though.

With Bert Convey. Very underrated game show.

F Troop, Gilligans Island, and something else came on in the morning. Then Price is Right. It was torture the next few hours until afternoon cartoons came on.

I ice down a 30 pack, get in my old hunting truck and ride fields all day looking for deer. I can do this by myself or with a buddy, I have a ball either way.
