I have a cold and it seems entirely possible that I'll die. From sheer frustration, if nothing else.

I hate colds. Hate them. Haaaaaaaaate them. I spent the last two days sniffling and coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose and generally looking like Rudolph the rednosed reindeer.

I hate wimpy people who whine about silly little boo boos like colds. But boy do I ever hate colds. *whines* I would much rather have a broken wrist, or maybe even a nice quick case of gastroenteritis.

What is it about colds that makes them suck ever so very much? And are you a whiner or a bearer?


I'm actually a bearer, I only whine in my head.
And on NSG, apparently.

Don't say it.


*sneezes*

You know, swahili testicle bursting cannibalistic flesh-eating virus has the same onset symptoms as the common cold.

I bear it.


I have to...


I live alone. :(

I'm random. I build up moaning allowance with discretion elsewhere. This only applies to the cold. anything more severe, and you know.

I whine and bear it.:D

I whine about the fact that I have a cold due to the fact that my colds last FOREVER (like >3 months) so as soon as I get a cold I get into this "for christsake..not AGAIN!" speil.

I bear it as whining does no good anyway so whats the point?

I whine. Unabashedly. I despise being more sick than I always am. I'm suffering through a cold right now, and my family is about ready to stick me in the washer or something.

Better than a stomach flu. Those are a million times worse.

I find those little cough drops that have the boat on the package and they make eveything better. :)

Nope, my testicles are still unburst. :)

I bear it.


I have to...


I live alone. :( Yeah, me too. Although, to be honest, I know how impatient I am with sick people (esp. the wimpy ones who only have a cold) and, let's face it, there's only so much empathy one can have with someone who has a cold, so I don't know if having someone around who'd eventually simply go ahead with their un-colded lives would be so very comforting.

Sit down at the table with Smunkee, I'll get you some stone soup, and some bourbon.

*gets shot glasses*

i generally bear it, but if someone asks me how i am and i have a cold then i don't hesitate to tell them i feel like shit. i seem to have been lucky recently though, my last cold lasted less than a week but it was an absolute stinker and it was just when i was trying to write several essays so i really needed to push myself. i bumped into one of my workmates in the library and she said i looked like i was about to collapse. and then when i mentioned about a week later to one of my friends as a reason for why i had trouble doing the essay she accused me of having "man-flu", that really pissed me off seeing as i never called it flu and never complained at the time. i mean, fair-enough she's had a chest-infection for about 4 months but i never even compared it to how bad her illness was. i reckon head-colds feel worse than chest-colds though, you can't think straight with a head-cold. /rant

With colds, I just bear it. With anything worse, especialy if it involves vomiting, I go to bed and make other people take care of me.:p

I whine about the fact that I have a cold due to the fact that my colds last FOREVER (like >3 months) Ack! >.<
Mine usually last for just a few days because apparently my immune system rocks.

I whine. Unabashedly. I despise being more sick than I always am. I'm suffering through a cold right now, and my family is about ready to stick me in the washer or something.If they do, promise me this is the look you'll give them. Promise me.

You have now idea how much I'm loving you right now for giving me an excuse to post this. ;p

Better than a stomach flu. Those are a million times worse.Bah, like I said - right now, a touch of stomach flu seems rather desirable.

I find those little cough drops that have the boat on the package and they make eveything better. :)They also burn my tongue off.

*gets shot glasses*
Do I want to know what stone soup is? I'll take the bourbon, though.

One time I had the flu for two weeks.

On christmas.

:(

I hate colds because whenever I have them I'm pretty much incapacitated for however long they last. It's like my body goes "ZOMG! Bad things - time to shut down entirely so we can kill them!" And then I sleep for the duration. I'm not kidding, either. I had a cold a couple of weeks ago that had me in bed and sleeping for five days.

But I don't whine about them for the most part, at least not out loud. ;)

And go make yourself some nice tea with liberal doses of honey, lemon and whiskey in it. Works wonders for me, especially for a sore throat. :)

she accused me of having "man-flu"Hee, awesome, I've never heard that before. :p Er, I mean, aww, poor IR. =( *giggles*

:eek: Wow, the sleep thing is really odd. Imagine what happens if you ever have something more serious... :o
I don't really shut down at all and I don't sleep more than usual either, stupidly.

I have the honey, I have the lemon, and I have no work tomorrow - maybe I should buy myself some whiskey tomorrow...

Do I want to know what stone soup is? I'll take the bourbon, though.

I'm not fussy or demanding, if I have a cold, bring me my hot tea with honey, my hot soup, my cold orange juice, my tissues, a cold, damp wash cloth, some chipped ice and GET THE HELL OUT.

Maybe it caught a keyboard kold?

I googled it but don't get it. I don't want no fable, thankyouverymuch.

If they put me in the washer, I'll do one better. I'll get my cat to give them that look, and take a picture of it. :P

My hair isn't neat enough for someone to mistake me as a cat. Sheepdog, maybe, but not cat.

Bah, like I said - right now, a touch of stomach flu seems rather desirable.


Well, I'm sure I'll say the opposite in a couple days, when I haven't had enough sleep in 72 hours and my sinuses have clogged up completely, causing my ears great trauma.

But, from a purely objective mode of thought, stomach flus are a million times worse. This is just uncomfortable. A stomach flu hurts. 'Course I get stomach flus worst. I get them really violently for about 6 hours, and then I spend 24 hours with the feeling that someone punched me in the stomach, normally with a blinding headache, so I'm bored, in pain, and unable to treat it because of the illness.

Still... I feel your pain. Litterally.

*goes to find his pot of chicken soup*

I can't remember.
That sounds like a challenge. :)

And I love the appropriateness of the "take note". :pHere to serve, indeed.

*hugs the sick german*

Hee, awesome, I've never heard that before. :p Er, I mean, aww, poor IR. =( *giggles*

They also burn my tongue off.

Yeah, but I think it's worth it.

its been so that i had one,i forget that you can get it

WYTYG i hope you get better fast

[QUOTE=Whereyouthinkyougoing;12273471]You know - I think I'd get the hell out before you'd make me fetch you things. ;p


*Brings you OJ, nyquil and tissue* I'd bring you things. I don't ask for what I don't give. But I do get cranky and anti-social (sic) when I have a cold.

Poor WYTYG, all sick.

I troop through being sick, I do everything I would normally do, but at the slightest provocation I will bitch relentlessly...

You know what you should do when you're sick? GET SOME REST! (Are you really still online or did I miss read that? What is it, 4:30 AM in your crazy future world of a few hours from now...)

I was almost on my way!

And then Nadkor's thread came along and now people are aggravating me with their ignorance.

You try and go to sleep like that! :(

I have a cold and it seems entirely possible that I'll die. From sheer frustration, if nothing else.

I know how you feel...I just came down with a wicked head-cold this evening myself.

Work sucks right now. :(

I push on and act like I don't have one. This leads to a lot of public nose blowing.

I sure as hell hope not. *glowers*

are you feeling any better WYTYG? I prayed for you and woke up with a headcold, I think I have yours, it sounds similar.

:p

I don't mind a cold so much, but the ones I catch seem to be fairly mild, so that's probably why. When I first get one I do try to take advantage and feel as sorry for myself as I possibly can. Doesn't work much, because Herself gives me a hug and tells me to go take some sudafed.

I think they feel rotten because they make you feel bad, achy and snurfy and tired. Perhaps it's the constant leaking from the nose that makes it worse. With a broken wrist or a nice quick case of gastroenteritis, you can slink off somewhere and be alone (with the latter, I hope you will). With a cold, you're out there in public with a runny nose.

who knows what he got, but i wish summer would end here in Australia

I have a cold

Awww. :fluffle:

Hope you feel better soon.

I was watching the cricket the other day and it was above 40 in Perth. I have no idea how the fuck they do it, I bowled five straight overs in 22 degrees the other week and that was enough for me.

I hate colds because they're not enough to really warrant getting out of things, even though I'd much rather lie in bed aaallll day :D

Aww. Here, have a tissue. *pats*

Thank you. :)

Sadly, while the nose is no longer a drainpipe, the headache remains, and I am now horribly feverish. Nothing dangerous, but a general..."ICK!" feeling.

Doesn't help that it's basically Zero degress outside! I'm always cold! :(

are you feeling any better WYTYG? I prayed for you and woke up with a headcold, I think I have yours, it sounds similar.

I don't really shut down at all and I don't sleep more than usual either, stupidly.
Thankfully I've never had anything more serious than bronchitis, which doesn't make me sleepy.

You're lucky you don't shut down, although you should try to get some more sleep...

I have the honey, I have the lemon, and I have no work tomorrow - maybe I should buy myself some whiskey tomorrow...
I've also tried it with dark rum, and that works too.

Exactly! I was at work 12 hours yesterday! *wallows*
Awww. That sucks. The last time I tried to come in to work with a bad cold, I got sent home. Something about not making everyone in the office sick... :p

Thankfully I've never had anything more serious than bronchitis, which doesn't make me sleepy. Hm, this makes it even weirder. Guess my thread name was apt after all.

in truth I don't care a-
-bout a cold and a runny nose-ho-ho-hose!

Sung to Steve Miller's "The Joker" :p

Achso, dies eine noch: Gute Besserung!

What I hate about colds is that it always feels like I'm trying to go to sleep but can't.

Get well, WYTYG...and you know, you can call in sick tomorrow, being sick and all...(I used to go into work no matter how sick, though. It did make it so that when I did call in sick they wouldn't question it figuring I was near death, though i wouldn't be sick at all...)

Anyway, get well.

@ German Nightmare: Danke. :)

Yeah, I guess it is pretty strange. I have no explanation for you, I'm afraid.

Excellent. Rum is much yummier than whiskey.
Teehee. It's supposed to be alcohol-flavoured tea, not tea-flavoured alcohol. :p

Heh, I have to go in again tomorrow - maybe I should make sure to thoroughly sneeze on everybody. :p
:D That might do the trick. I hope you start feeling better though!

hate colds I suffer badly but I haven't had one for 6 yrs now even though people all around me have them....a guy I worked with died from a cold which was shocker, went from his sinuses to the lining of his brain took less than a week...

I think most of the hatred of common colds I harbour is due to what I call "the cold rule."
That is, you will always get a cold when it is the worst possible time to get it, usually in summer or around christmas time when your SUPPOSED to be happy, but instead end up single handedly supporting the tissue industry.

I've got a damned cold too. I hate the fuckers - we can go to the moon, but we can't solve this little bugger once and for all?

I normally don't complain that much though, at least out loud. It seems pointless to make my misery known - nothing the people around me can do anyhow.

I think the worst part about colds for me is the fact that they always transition seamlessly into a sinus infection. That means I have to wait until it qualifies as a sinus infection (i.e. be miserable for about 3 weeks), go to the doctor ($20 copay), get medicine ($40), take the medicine EVERY DAY for 10 days without missing even ONE dose...

...and then spend the next 10 days coughing the shit out of my system, causing me to lose my voice. That means I've been sick or appeared sick for more than a month.

EVERY TIME I get a cold this happens. So yeah...I hate them.

I have a cold right now, and I feel like I'm dying. And it doesn't help that I have only a few days to get over it before my first rehersal for the Mikado, and less than two weeks to get recovered enough to kick butt at the most important audition of my natural life. Gah! Anyone got any soup for me?

I personally would rather have a cold than a stomache ache. Which I sort of have now.

What? You have summer out in the hutt?
Actually it has been pretty decent, Saturday had a bit of rain through cricket but it was light drizzle and then the sun came out again and then a bit more rain , but yeah recently i has been sunny.I sure as hell hope not. *glowers*

Well it was definately summer today as I sat and watched Wellington lose the semi final from the bank. Bloody hot out there.

I frickin' hate colds. During my math class on Friday I caught something because throughout the entire 3 hour class my throat got drier, and drier, and drier. Then, when I got home I started to get a fever, then I woke up the next day and I had a severe sore throat, a fever, fatigue, runny nose and a really bad cough with lots of phlegm...

And here I am, on Tuesday with all the same symptoms. God life sucks right now.

p.s. I'm a whiner fo' sho'.
