Its man flu dude, milk it for all its worth... its what they want really

I don't think I'll be milking it, but I see a long period of recovery. Months, perhaps years to regain the mere shadow of the man I once was.

and lots of warm drinks, a blanket and maybe a head massage? Man-flu.

It must be that brave excursion you took to bring news of events to us on 12/21. We understand. Such work to report events is hard on a bunny. Yes indeed.

Sacrifices for the betterment of mankind must be made. Broken bones, I laugh at. Damaged internal organs, I sneer at.

But this is man-flu. Something that history tells us that felled the mighty Hercules. Something that destroyed Gilgamesh. Something that caused the fall of the Roman Empire. Something that even caused the breakup of Simon and Garfunkle.

So it will be a worthy battle that I fight. I just wish my wife knew of the history and scope of the epic battle that I am now waging.

ETA; Wife just read this and called me a drama queen.

Beware the man flu !
Without the proper treatment eg lots of tlc, warm homemade soups, blanky on the sofa with a bond movie say, it will rapidly develop to its advanced stage where the subject reverts to a newborn baby like state
M ANTHRAX !

Zazz, thank you for that great Public Service Announcement.

Something every wife should read and learn. Perhaps fewer lives will be lost now.

In the UK we call it man-flu.

In Canada too.
Then we knock them out with Neo Citron. Do you have that in the US? It's a medicated hot lemon drink.

If us women really want peace and quiet (moans from the couch get rather loud), we add some dark rum, and put in earplugs

Hope you feel better soon Beez

Thanks.

I wish it were something minor like getting caught in a bear trap or a sucking chest wound, but I'll muster on.

Hot lemon juice with a dollop of honey and a BIG slug of whisky should make you feel better. Slightly christmassy (is that a word? lol) too.

There seems to be a widespread break out of Man-Flu in Canada!
Most think it s a symptom of Hockey Withdrawl!!!!

Hurry to the video store(send wife) and rent all the hockey videos you
can find! There s a thriving black market for them right now! Better
investment than Gold

Keep laughing , it strengthens the immune system

Get well soon or you ll miss out on all the turkey

Happy Holidays!!!

The last few days, the flu has ravaged my house. It started with my young child, then myself soon after. Where was my lovely husband? Messing around with the guys, that's where. It's bad enough to be sick but I don't get to lay around and suffer, NO, I had to cater to the kid no matter what, all by myself through the worst of it. His excuse? "I don't want to get sick", well guess what...You have to come home sometime.
Now that he has it, he thinks I should be his mommy. Almost all you men are the same about this.
Where's my clause in the marriage contract, HUH?!

Right now it's hot tea, honey, lemon and a healthy dollop of Irish whiskey.

(heavy on the irish!

I support anyone going through hockey withdraw. I'm watching old copies of Resident Evil.

I understand your concern and your issues. But this is "man flu". Go up a few posts and watch the vid from Zazz. That'll clear things up. Hope your man survives.
