An Open Letter to The Common Cold, from Fred

Dear Common Cold.

Please vacate the premises. Any attempts made to stay will ensure that the Immune System will find you and shoot you on sight. DO YOU HEAR THAT!? RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYEBALLS, YOU VIRAL PARASITIC FREAK OF NATURE!! RIGHT BETWEEN THE MOTHERLOVING EYEBALLS!!

You have been warned.

Love,
-Fred

I had no idea the common cold visits the Tex Murphy forum!

Another Tex quote:

"The common cold. . .named after my ex-wife."
Never too late for coffee, never too early for beer.

It's called a Virus...

James, any chance you can squash this bug?

I'm with Fred all the way on this one. I've had the worst cold of my life the last three weeks (going on four). The stuffy/runny nose I can live with; it's the darn coughing that's killing me! I have never coughed like that in my entire existence. Gut wrenching, chest pain, gagging, etc. Sorry for the sordid details, but if you get this cold you'll never forget it, that's for sure. I'm still coughing but not near as bad as last week.

However, in my good natured ability to share with others, I passed it on to my dear wife who is now suffering as did I. Poor girl. :cry:

Oh Jim, I'm sorry. That nagging cough can be a killer. I hope you didn't pass on the "Super Lengthy" version of it to her.

Hope you both feel better soon.
(hands Jim 2 bowls of chicken soup)
and some hugs.

I started monday night, was pretty bad for a few days and had to stay home from work. Went to work today, and wished I didn't when I was there. I won't share the details but let's just say I had it worse than Jim.

However I'm starting to feel a little better now, thank the Almighty Superman.

Thanks, Jen. Soup and hugs greatly appreciated. :wink:
