Youch! Sorry to hear about that Robin! Like everyone said, I would blame everyone else! :taz:

Sorry to hear that being sick sucks! But you could have caught it from any one, colds are transmitted from the eyes or nose not the mouth. So kissing has nothing to do with it. Someone could have rubbed their eye and then opened the door where you work (or touch anything before you did for that matter). I'd go with every one else and blame your ol' man and Bush cuz he gave it to Karl.:D Drink lots of OJ and I hope you feel better

My best friend at work has been sick with this for two weeks. Karl was sick with this last week. She sits next to me at work. She says it's not her, because she hasn't kissed me, but I didn't let Karl kiss me when he was sick either.

So, who should I blame, because someone made me feel miserable and I have to blame someone! :P

I told her I'd blame her when I'm at work and blame Karl when I'm at home! LOL

Gotta get sick every once in awhile, I'm in the same boat.LOL

quick fix for sickies:
- 1 airborne tablet dissolved in a small amount of water every 3-4 hours
- 3 echinacea-goldenseal caplets (305mg/caplet) with each meal (3 meals/day) and before bed
- 1 50mg zinc tablet with each meal (3 meals/day)

in 24-48 hours you'll be well on your way to feeling better. whenever i used to get sick i'd be down for at least a week. now it's 2-3 days max if i take that stuff. do it! you'll feel better! :D

this also works wonders toward keeping you from getting sick if you feel like you might be coming down with something. i have avoided sickness altogether twice so far this winter this way--got the scratchy throat and started downing the herbs/zinc/airborne. i now swear on it. :)

I was taking Airborne 3 x a day and loads of Vit. C while Nellie and Karl were sick and up through yesterday when the cough came on. Airborne normally prevents me from getting sick, not this time!

get going on that echinacea and zinc girl! :gj: airborne alone can only do so much (in my experience)...

Eh, maybe tomorrow - I'm home now with my Comtrex Deep Chest Cold medicine, Dayquil, Nyquil and Mucinex.


Comtrex and Dayquil for the day, Nyquil and Mucinex at night (they GOT me on the Mucinex - thought I grabbed the 20 count, but grabbed the 40 count instead for $20! Gah!!!)

It's easy Robin, just blame everyone else you've come in contact with the past month. Preferably the people you really dislike but anyone is fair game. :D

It's pretty bad - you can feel crud rattling in your lungs when you breath. I caught one cough fit this afternoon when I was by the printer and had to brace myself on the counter, because I coughed so hard the room started spinning.

Then just as suddenly stopped coughing and the co-workers yelled over the cube - Robin? You still breathing???? (uh yeah, but thanks for caring enough to come check! :( )

Ehhhh....why do I get so whiney when I'm sick? bleh!!!!
