Most of the ppl that are closest to me know the deal.. I hope you can figure out a way of getting them on board w/ this situation so there won't be any hard feelings in the future.. Joni

ugh, yes. it is soooooooo annoying!!!!
a family friend of ours (who has known me FOREVER and knows about CF) let his young offspring into my house when they coughing, sneezing and wiping their noses....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I didn't do anything and I was sick for a week after they left!!!
And these kids are annoying to begin with so.......but anyway. I can't to tell you what to do cuz I wimped out and didn't say anything either.
I was dating a guy and some friends of his came to town. He wanted me to meet them, but my boyfriend was sick at the time. I refused to go anywhere with them or to even see him cuz he was sick. (& he knew all about me CF & how I couldn't afford to get sick). He was annoyed but he understood.
Just try to explain to your friends (yet again, I'm sure) what your situation is.
Hopefully, they get it this time.
Good luck <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

some people may think it's rude for you to go into their house and request things be a certain way (i.e. no germy kids, no smoking) even though ideally they should understand. the best way for you to have control of the situation is to invite people to your house and gently remind them, "none of the kids are sick right now, are they?" sure, you still sound like a doofus, but at least you are not over-stepping your boundaries.
alternatively, some people may be totally cool with you coming into their house with certain requests. play it by ear. don't be uptight but you're right to consider your health first. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
