I got a lousy cold. My head hurts, my ears are ringing, I'm sneezing, coughing and my temps 99.9!!! Almost a hundred!!!. Nobody cares...*sniff*...My Dad calls me and tells me not to come over till I'm over it. My MOTHER tells me it's a shame and how she wishes I was 6 months old so she could cuddle me...but to forget it now that I'm in my 40's with a cold...*sniff*...
My roommate is held up in his room with a barricade of Lysol, pictures of the Virgin Mary and a list of things for me NOT to touch posted on his door....in English and Spanish...

1: No toque la televisión!

2: No toque el refrigerador!

3: No beba del cartón de la leche!


My sister tells me that at least I caught it now, before the really cold weather starts and could she have my Lap Top when I've gone...*sniff*...
The clerk at 7 Eleven THREW my change at me after ringing up my cup of Coffee....My Boss tells me to stay at home… she doesn't want anything from me...accept reliability and accuracy…. I’ll remember ALL of this after I win the Lotto....

I think you need to go to a small tropical island where the sun is shining EVERY DAY, there are no snowstorms, and when you win the lotto, perhaps you will remember who gave you this great idea..

Dere, Dere, dabth ogkay, dibth too will patbh....

[Pajamajan]

LOL! I also have a cold..... AAaaaaaaCHOOOOOOOOO!!! (Wonder what AAAAaaaaaCHOOOOOOOOO is in Spanish?) Cough, Cough!!! Sniffle sniffle..... feel sorry for me.... great idea for a thread.

I made the mistake of taking cold capsules with the warning of "may cause excitability in young children" for some reason any time "I" take a cold/flu product with this on the label I end up staying awake for hours and hours-even stuff that is supposed to make you sleep.

I should have known better, but I was feeling so miserable earlier. Hope you feel better.

Achooooooooo ... Ping!

FWIW, try Zycam within 48 hours of noticing symptoms- it thoroughly nuked a head cold I was developing this week.

[Zacs Mom]

Maybe we should get together ~ we could have the pity party of the year!!

After a week or so of not quite feeling up to snuff, mine mega-cold hit me lat night like a load of bricks! It literally knocked me off my feet!! My head is stuffed up, yet my nose is running and is now a bright shade of crimson from being blown about a million times in the past 12 hours.

Last night I was so miserable I actually rubbed Vicks Vapor Rum on chest before I went to sleep! I guess It work too 'cause I did manage to get about 4 hours of sleep.......

Coldeze losenges, works like a charm, but suffer if you want.

I'm flying to Dallas in a couple of hours, don't sneeze on me.

Well, since this is the official thread, I guess you'll be needing this...

Ode to Lung-Butter

(-Cough-) Lung-butter, my lament,
I must hope not Heaven-sent.
Hackers all, when this we find,
As evidence of daily grind.

That’s where germs exist, you know,
Not out in the pristine snow,
Or on the beaches, in the Sun,
But where we go to get work done.

Work is a word phlegmatic spat,
But clearly where the germs are at.
We start out healthy, when we rise,
To greet the world with shining eyes,

And then to work we make our way,
To find our “Buddy” there that day,
Who doesn’t wish to waste sick leave,
Not while his nose can find his sleeve.


Bio-weapons may be rare,
But one can find them in the air.
One finds in his proximity,
A walking weapons factory.

So thus it is on our way home,
We find our lungs may seek to roam,
Our head stuffed up like ripened plum,
And where is all that pudding from?

Just put a sign up where you work,
“If you get sick, don’t be a Jerk!
Please keep your butt home in your bed,
You won’t get paid if you end up dead!”

This stuff always seems to get me thru



and coincidentally, I'm going thru it right now with ya. I HATE colds, too.

[SweetCaroline]

When I read you post last night before I went to bed, I felt bad for you, but I wake up this morning and guess what?

NOW I GOT YOUR &&^$#$ COLD.

Thanks for sneezing on the monitor!

....i'm going back to bed...sniff sniff

[El Cid]

Sounds like Avian Flu to me.
You'll be over this in 24 hours because you'll be dead.
Cheer up.

I've been suffering the cold, throat thing since Friday night. Last night I broke down and tried the Ny-Quil. Worked like a charm. First nights sleep in days. And I didn't cough once in the night.

Started taking mega doses of zinc, trying to short circuit the cold. The sore throat stopped soon after starting the zinc.

[Hoodlum91]

Poor baby.

I had it last week. It's not fun.

[Happygal]

I fully empathise.

I'm in the same boat. The only difference is, I'm in Ireland and no spanish roommate.

Now, gimme a Kleenex, willye?

[baker_girl]

Here's a bowl of soup, I hope you feel better!
