This cold has made me just about ready to buy this shirt

[LDS Jock]

I hate being sick. Someone come take care of me.

[skygazer]

1. Not me

I'm looking for someone to do the same for me. I've been sick for over 2 weeks now - close to 3 I think but they're all starting to blur together. I think I've forgotten what it's like not to have a head full of congestion and a sore throat. As well as being unable to breathe properly. :grr:

[demnan]

2. Drink lots of green tea

and take a laxative. You need purging.

[LDS Jock]

4. I know the feeling!

:pals: Whenever I lay down I feel like I'm going to smother to death. I have to sleep on the couch half up, half down, in order to get any sleep. I take so much medicine I feel buzzed just trying to manage symptoms enough to function. I feel like crap but at the same time I'm worn down enough ready to fight anyone who gives me crap. I'm just waiting for the inevitable mess up of grammar or spelling on DU for someone to rip me apart. Then I'm gonna attack!!

5. I have the same cold as you

What's the deal? I've never had a cold last more than a week. My chest muscles are actually sore this morning from coughing. :(

I'd go to the doctor, but I can't afford insurance that covers doctor visits. I can only afford catastrophic insurance. Thanks Bush!

6. You might have a sinus infection after all this time

That's an awfully long time to just have a "cold." Have you seen your doctor? Hope you feel better ... SOON! :hi:

[skygazer]

12. Thanks - saw the doc on Tuesday

She tells me there's no infection and gave me some stuff to clear the sinuses but so far it hasn't done much. :shrug:

[flamingyouth]

18. That sucks

I have asthma and allergies so I can sympathize. I have hay fever in the spring and summer and allergies to mold in the winter. x(

I buy a lot of Kleenex.:)

[LDS Jock]

8. why is stargazer getting more pity than me?

I started this thread dammit!

[skygazer]

11. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread

Here's a hug - :hug: and a hot toddy - :beer:

[LDS Jock]

13. oh I'm just messing with ya sweetie

:loveya:

[jonnyblitz]

3. wow you must get horrendous colds!

either that or you have a low "discomfort" threshhold! I hope you feel better soon! :hi:

[LDS Jock]

7. well, maybe I am a *tad* dramatic

but I do feel like crap, and it seems to never end. I feel better bitching about it on here though.

[jonnyblitz]

14. that's what the lounge is for!!!

and colds do suck. I get like you when my lower back fucks up. I just want to die...

[zbdent]

9. You know what's really sad?

reverse the situation with the shirt.

Put a phrase on the shirt in the "native language" and put the $$ amount written in "English" (or whatever passes for it in the US).

I would bet that more people would be able to understand the original image (in the originating country in English) than would understand the "native language" here in the US.

10. i'LL take care of you

and pLease.. don't die. you'd be missed. :D

[LDS Jock]

16. good.. come over.. i need something to eat

[LDS Jock]

22. make me something hot.. like soup

[Book Lover]

15. Aw, I'm so sorry to hear

that you've been unwell for so long. I have been very lightly sick for a week or so now, but it's been under control mostly, so I can function. Hope this :hug: helps!

[LDS Jock]

17. a hug always helps... thanks

:hug:

[flamingyouth]

19. Drink lots of fluids

Get lots of rest.

Shall I read you a story? :D

[LDS Jock]

21. yes please

I hope egg nog counts for fluids. I'm drinking it now. It feels good on my sore throat. Can you read me "My Pet Goat"?
