This could well be my last post my friends...
I have had cold starting the last few days and being a BIG STRONG MAN, it is obviously worse than anything that a woman will have.
I have struggled through bravely these last few days... for the sole purpose of being able to tell everyone that I have struggled through bravely these last few days
So I will go home now and curl up in bed for the next few days...
I won't trouble the medical profession, because I am a man and we don't want to bother them.
So farewell my friends and as TV Stereotypical American Girls say - IT'S BEEN REAL

Colds really can spoil your life, for a week or two. Drink, Drink and then Drink some more, water, juice and soup. No booze. If you can't breath steam will help, also some of the smelly stuff you get at the pharmacy. Vicks or Bengay in the us.
But really what you need is a Mother, they do the best for big guys like you who don't feel well. So Hugs and kisses from, I guess I would be your Grandmother if I was.

I bet you my bottom dollar that I know Bj's thoughts! You are a typical man. When we women get these kind of things, we STILL get up and care for the kids and do our usual routine and most of us even go to work. If we are really feeling bad and if we don't have kids, we may pamper ourselves a bit more but what most of us dont do about it is WHINE. Men freaking whine and carry on as if they are daying over every little tiny illness. You are being the typical sterotypical Worldwide Male. It's been real.

They are all alike and ever so predictable aren't they? I hate to sterotype but seriously, they are so sterotypical. Notice when he sterotyped women that he sterotyped it to American women only and he isn't in America or he'd know that a good amount of us do NOT use that phrase. Men!!

Oh, you've got the sneezles? Don't worry as it may lead to the wheezles. But whatever happens you must not have the sneezles and the wheezles at the same time as it can lead to the teezles and getting the teezles could be fatal. So take care you do not pop your clogs

Well, for me it's always a huge sorrow when a user, even if it is not my direct friend, leave Mylot.
However, I believe that if you do that, you'll specific personal reasons, on which I do not even want to discuss for them.
However you say you have fought bravely like a real man.
I hope that by your determination, at least you've got something positive.
Best wishes!

either me, i have a cold too. my mother used to let me drink a medicine for cough. as i complain, she also said that it is just the same for its all for the mucus. so without complaining anything at all, i gulped a tablespoon of it. i guess , it was being effective, at least i can breath freely unlike the time when i did not take medicine at all yet. so i decided also to drink fruit juice and water. so i dropped in the store just few hours ago to buy what i need. i need to drink this in the morrow. :)

hi robspeakman oh my indeed its the worst cold you have ever had, you have never felt this bad before, you are a man and you are so sick you just know you will never make it , unhuh heard that song before so poor wife she now he ars " Honnnney" drawn ou long and sadly "bring me some hot tea pleaseeee? and so e chicken soup"' in as mournful a voice as he c an possibly make it.So she trots in with a tray of soup and tea. One hour later :
" h h o oneyh" again so mournful"please I need some cough syrup and some water, and I think my fever is worse take m temp
Please"" Okay she does all that then blows her nose and gargles.She is wo man , woman not supposed to get sick. Wait on heap big man.
then one day he gets up all full of cheer and asks the kids "Wheres your mom?" "oh daddy she went to her doctor and he called .She is in the hospital with pneumonia d addy . What is pm onia daddy?" end of story!
