Need some sympathy...down with bad cold..

So my eyes are leaking cheeks are burning..I know I have cold because my throat feels sore and my otherwise rat like voice sounds so masculine. I hate headaches.. But here is the worst part...I expect to be pampered. Seriously. At 56 I like it if dad shows excessive concern. Sometimes he gets angry that I got sick but usually he checks on me twice or thrice in the night and that makes me feel like under teens. Do you like others fussing over you? I sure love it. And honestly tend to overact too.

I would bring you a tea with honey if I was not far. I am also 56 until tomorrow, and an orphan since a few years. I have nobody to pamper me when I am sick, except my old cat. Thinking about it, I was liking to be pampered when I was a child, but the kid was hating this, and I was telling to my mother that I was not needing a mother hen. I hope she has forgiven me now.

I don't know if you watched Australian open tennis matches. There was a small game in which Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Henri Leconte played against Kim Clijsters and Todd Woodbridge. It was so entertaining and I thought Top must be like this. lol. Leconte was still playing quite well though he was acting..

@vandana7 I like tennis, but not enough to wake up to watch a match at 5 am. Double matches, mixed or not, are the best for the players to have fun. You need to have enough humor for two to play a double with Arantxa Sanchez.

@topffer ..It was real entertainer..I will check if there is a YouTube version. Wait.. But that is just five minutes ...it was in afternoon out here ...we enjoyed it thoroughly..lol
The fans loved every second of the legends exhibition match with Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario and Henri Leconte on court facing Kim Clijsters and Todd Woodbridge....

I'm sorry you are sick and I hope you feel better soon. I would throw cans of soup at you, but you are too far away. I like people who are close to me to care about my well being, but then I want to be sick by myself. LOL

I like it when someone checks up on me too when I'm not feeling well. I feel fine now just still getting dizzy because of no sleep. Hoping I will catch up on sleep soon though. Feel better

@kevin1877uk ..No...actually it strengthens the immune system if we don't take these medications. lol. Only ginger tea, and had milk with turmeric in it.

Cold? Awesome. Here is my idea (you can call it insane... you wish). just as a Diamond cuts another diamond, iron cuts another iron, a cold can cut cold. Have a cold coffee if you like or even some ice cream. Share some with papa too. (He might fuss more... but then... we all tend to love it sometime)

Problem is, I don't like cold coffee. Ice cream I have stopped eating. :( Nor can I eat pastries. I can, however, drink cold water and cold juices. Milk shake? Tomorrow...bakery is close by. Human bomb...spreading cold all around.

@vandana7 Coming from your city, hyderabad, I realized that they make some of the best coffee. Sad that you do not like it cold. Milk shake sounds all good. Go for sapeta (sorry, I dont know what it is called in English) milk shake

That is so sweet that your Father is so concerned Vandy..you are blessed to have him there with you. I am so very sorry you are not well. If I were there, I would make you niceties such as hot tea if you like. I pray you are recovered soon. Vandy, if you think your throat has white spots, please get some antibiotic. You do not want the strep throat so deadly. I do have my son sometimes who fuss but not too much, not enough for my liking lolz

I am so sorry, do not feel down, your cold will be over in no time. I do not like too much that people come to check on me when I do not feel well. I always try to show that I am fine.

I hope you get the pampering you deserve. I think we all like to be cosseted when we are ill.

Every rule has some exceptions, and there are a few who strangely do not like being cosseted. You and me apparently do not belong to that group.

Ahwee I hope you feel better soon! I have a cold as well but can't act sick because my friend has a cold too. He has a "men cold" maybe you know it. He feel like he would die (or he just act like it)
