I've got a "man cold"

It's an oldie but goodie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz6DktXFvg4
At the end, the E.M.T. sneeringly says, "Have you ever heard of Lemsip?" (a British cold remedy).

I really do have a man cold, coughing, nose flowing...not just running, disappearing voice... Missed one day of school and slept for about 18 hours straight. And now, there's a Whooping Cough warning and a cry goes out for teachers to get a booster!
I can tell you just when the enemy attacked. Sitting with a group, a girl sitting not a foot from me, suddenly "full-on" coughs right in my face. I wanted to yell, "Medic, Medic!! I'm hit!!" I knew then I was a goner... I will guess conservatively that 80% of our school teachers and students have had this bad virus. It started in November and I must admit I was feeling almost smug that it hadn't yet hit me...until the viral air invasion.
To Don's credit, he bought Kentucky Fried Chicken on Tuesday and Taco Bell tonight, so I didn't have to cook. Thanks honey!

The Latest Lexie Looks
                                        She's definitely got her daddy's brown eyes!

Catching little snippets of Terms of Endearment as I write. I love that movie! Jack Nicholson...gotta admire a guy that admits he is no longer irresistible to women.
"I can’t hit on women in public any more. I didn’t decide this; it just doesn’t feel right at my age." Kudos to you, Jack! I don't know...there's something about that sardonic lift of the eyebrow... just stick to your own age group.

I could so picture those nasty germs pummeling you when the girl coughed. "Medic, medic" so hilarious..."Man down..."

I'm so sorry! I hate that kind of cold. Those dang kids are just nuclear bacteria and virus bombs.

I hope "Terms of Endearment" helps. Such a good show...

A MAN COLD! You should be in the E.R. on an I.V. drip ;)

Every germ known to mankind comes through the door where we work, it's a wonder we aren't all dead.

Jack, you know for some reason I'm drawn to these old guys. Must be a daddy complex?

That baby just gets cuter and cuter with age, kinda like you :)
