Been freaking down with a ferocious bitch of a cold since the weekend, and hence have mostly hacked, drooled and slept my way through not only Christmas, but my bloody birthday as well. I don't do sick well, and I'm getting really damn grouchy. You can only spend so much time in bed, and reading hurts my eyes (and head). Grrrrr... Ach pftttt!!! Read with great jealousy Brad's movie night thread - I love going to the movies at Christmas but there was no way. Sigh...

I'm there with you at least in spirit. I've been sick for over a week. Feels like I been swallowing razors.

I hate this. I just want to take a bite out of someone right now, and not in the fun way.

I've been outta power since sunday morning. The inside of my house is UP ten degrees to 42 right now, so I'm in my own little version of torment right now. Hope you get better soon.

Thanks, this was one of those days where I wish I drank, just to put me out of my misery. Feeling better now, was too miserable even to waste time on the computer.

Hoping you feel better quick. I'm just getting over a cold but luckily it only lasted a few days. I hate the ones that drag on forever. They just suck the energy out of you.

Is this 'the flu' that they're always preparing for every season?

Had a flu shot in Oct. and haven't even had the sniffles (bet I just put the kibosh on myself). Haven't heard any local reports of it either.

Get well soon.

My wife gets the "man flu" really badly. If I'm at work, she'll send at least three text messages an hour to let me know how miserable she feels.

When I get sick, I just want to be left alone.

A friend gave me Gregg Allman's autobiography which is hardly literature but is occasionally amusing. He says Duane was the whiniest SOB who ever lived. When Duane had a cold, nobody else could appreciate the misery he was enduring, etc. etc.

So, one day Duane had the flu and Gregg crept up to his house and left a bottle of Coricidin and a Taj Mahal record. Next day, Duane calls and says: "Quick, get over here." Gregg arrives to find Duane playing guitar with a slide FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE, "Statesboro Blues," using the Coricidin bottle.

I don't believe it either, but, what the hey, try Coricidin.

You know when I'm sick because that's when the grouchies kick OUT.

Ooooo - I gotta read that! I read Slash's bio a while ago - now that was amusing reading.

Can you get sick from internet contact? I feel like I've had the E36 M3 beat out of me with a Wiffle bat, mad chills, and nausea. Berk. This. E36 M3.
