Plague...I think my wife gave it to me

[Bailey Guns]

No flu here, but picked up a nasty head cold.

I think I'm on the downside of a mild head cold myself. On the other hand, the last time I had a "mild head cold" it just seemed to fall outta my head and into my lungs. I coughed bad for a solid month. That cough lingered so long my doc sent me in for chest x-rays to make sure it wasn't something worse.

That's also one of the downsides of being married to a nurse. No telling what kind of sickly, skanky, crap she drags home from the hospital. I may have previously mentioned I wanted to set up a decon unit on the front porch...she balked at that. Garage is out, too.

So I picked up 1.5L of this particular med... at least while on it, I don't cough... even when I do, I don't care.

Oooohh...what kind?

Darn it, Tfog. I think your wife gave me the plague too.








Which is really weird since I?m pretty confident I?ve never met her.

Is bourbon a "med"?

Damn straight, many generations in my family.

Hot tea(Sleepytime works best), honey, lemon juice, shot of bourbon(or Rye). Administered by mom at first sign of flu.

Our version of the Hot Toddy.

I'm about to have the brown bag flu.

I'm about to have the brown bag flu.

Yup, got me!

The way it played out I suspect some level of food poisoning though. Feel great now though.

It's possible you met her, but it was at least a couple of years ago, so she's unlikely to be the vector for your plague. You have my sympathies, this shit sucks!

[ray1970]

I?m still blaming your wife for being ?patient zero?.

Oooohh...what kind?

Nothing special, just Evan Williams 100 proof.

It did seem to help at least let me sleep.

The plague is really messing with me today. First I?m burning up and then I?m freezing. I can only imagine this is what menopause feels like.

When the chills hit me I start shaking like a cat shitting a peach pit. I feel like maybe there?s a little epilepsy mixed in with this plague.

The funnest part about it though is that my eyes feel like they?re on fire and there?s some sort of small mythical creature in my head pushing on the back back of them in an attempt to push them out of their sockets.

Ugh.

Happy holidays.
