Ill

[Holdfast]

Physician, heal thyself!

That's exactly what the girl at the counter said too. Funny the first time I heard it.

I'm all on top of the latest fads. Btw, just the other day I saw those pictures online that were really funny. They had cats in them, and were captioned so it looked like the cats were saying cute things with horrible spelling and grammar. Hilarious!

Wow! Must find these! They sound frightfully original & funny.

Get a straw, and suck it up!

Yeah, suck it up, wuss!

You'll be begging for attention when you get ill, and then I'll laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

I also recommend a daily dose of daytime television. Just don't get addicted to "Diagnosis: Murder" and "LazyTown" like I did when I was ill with gastroenteritis...

I watched Jeremy Kyle this morning. I felt DIRTY.

Garlic. Lots and lots of garlic.

And why didn't you have your 'flu jab?

I couldn't find time to go to Occ Health.

Besides, this is worse than plain old flu.

You poor, poor thing. I think your condition is more serious than I realised.

I'm ill.

Non sense, non sense. You only think you are ill.

 

[Gepard]

Others who are ill (even though none of you will surely even approach my cold for sheer depth of illness) may also post, in a joint seeking of sympathy.

Does mentally ill count?

½ a day in bed with a dog works wonders!

I think I can be arrested for stuff like that!

Garlic. Lots and lots of garlic.

I like your thinking, but sadly he's not a vampire. I already checked; he spent 5 hours just staring at himself in the mirror.

First genuine chuckle of the day!

I actually do have a bit of a remedy. If you want something for your throat, and to clear you all up, some balsamic vinegar mixed with honey and hot water does wonders.

I have all these ingredients. Will report back later...

If you have good balsamic, it's even a little tasty!

You're right! It looks like I'm drinking something fresh from the River Styx and I've no idea whether it's helping the cold... but the throat feels better and it tastes really quite nice!

I'm ill.
Hot girls are also gratefully accepted, though in my current debilitated state, I'll have to just lie back and let you do all the work.

It's only when you need it, isn't it?

This post IS an unashamedly attention-seeking search for the milk of human kindness and general compassion.

When was the last time you felt shame anyway?
You have my kindness. For the milk, try again.

[...]not abuse my near-godly and Judge Dredd-esque moderator powers

How can you abuse them when you've been hiding them so well?

Others who are ill (even though none of you will surely even approach my cold for sheer depth of illness) may also post, in a joint seeking of sympathy.

You have all the more sympathy from me as I'm almost relapsing myself. But I'm hanging in there with lots of hot tea (try verbena for the aches - not as effective as painkillers though but it relaxes) and steaming showers and cough medicine (either pharmaceutical or Martini) and the occasional glass of milk-brown sugar-rum.
So I don't want sympathy from anyone. I'm feeling fine. (It's the late nights and early mornings that are more iffy.)

*Edit* For the throat, sorry I ran out of (Cherokee) Bear Paw Root. Powerful stuff. And the infusion tastes good.

Afaik Holdy isn't catholic or jewish and therefore doesn't need to feel shame…

/.../(try /.../ Martini) and the occasional glass of milk-brown sugar-rum.

Indeed, a mug-full of scalding hot (dark) rum with a thimble of water (or is that the other way 'round?) does wonders! -Might not make you better, but surely makes you feel better!

I usually find extra strength vit C and making lots of love helps to bolster the immune system.

Get well soon!

I was working on the theory that you were a werewolf but when I threatened you with silver you just turned your nose up and said it clashed with your gold.

 

[Cayla]

I'm also not feeling well. I left work this morning to go home and overdose myself on cold meds. I took a nice three and a half hour nap this afternoon.

 

[WillsBabe]

I, too, am ill. I've been off work for two days. Here's a list of my symptoms:
runny nose
sore throat
pounding in my ears
headache
pain in my ribs/lungs/kidneys
aching legs
vertigo
temperature
shivers
cracked lips
screwed up skin
cold sore.

Apart from that, I feel great!

Non sense, non sense. You only think you are ill.

Thank you, Your Majesty. For the philosophy & the thread tag.

Others who are ill (even though none of you will surely even approach my cold for sheer depth of illness) may also post, in a joint seeking of sympathy.

Does mentally ill count?

Yes. But don't expect me to give up the couch so you can lie down on it.

You have my kindness. For the milk, try again.

Thank you. I'll have to pester the milkman instead.

So I don't want sympathy from anyone. I'm feeling fine. (It's the late nights and early mornings that are more iffy.)

Those hours are what sleep is for!

*Edit* For the throat, sorry I ran out of (Cherokee) Bear Paw Root.

This sounds painful. Does it scare the cold out of you?

When was the last time you felt shame anyway?

Afaik Holdy isn't catholic or jewish and therefore doesn't need to feel shame…

Ah, now that IS true. Very over-rated, shame. Just ask McBundy.

Get well soon!

Thanks!

Your witchcraft does you much credit.

I'll let you nap with me... if you don't steal all the tissues!

Fellow sufferers unite. Together we shall storm the citadels of the healthy and cast them down from their thrones of perkiness.

Another tip from Dr. Ravescene*: eat more cake.

I've been begging for attention for years.

Nobody cares.

Just think of it as non-directive counselling...

Um...get off the internet and get some sleep!

Rest...rest...and more rest. It is the only thing that beats the bitch of a virus!
