Ladies, you know what that means…Man Cold*, a terrible disease that causes hunching, moaning and regression to childhood. There is a wives’ tale that the Man Cold is no more serious than the common cold which strikes females. This is untrue. Women are expected and able to continue with their daily chores, jobs and responsibilities. A Man Cold, however, is completely debilitating and should not be confused with the common cold.
It’s serious but can be cured by having your man strictly follow these rules: 1) Do NOT get out of bed. The only exception is if there is not a TV near the bed. In this emergency, relocate to the sofa or a recliner. 2) Have immediate and complete control of the TV remote. If the remote is lost, immediately contact your next of kin to retrieve the remote. 3) If you must get out of bed, always walk slowly and with a hunched back. Standing upright will only confuse others as to how sick you really are. 4) Moan often. Moaning is required so that no one forgets you have a serious disease, the Man Cold. 5) Talk in a whining voice so as not to further strain your vocal cords while they are adjusting to the severity of your Man Cold. Women, these are things you must do to make sure he survives: 1) Be sure to have plenty of tissues, fast food, cookies, popsicles and tea ready 2) Check on him often. At least every 10 minutes, as he'll be too weak to call for you. 3) If all else fails, invite his mother over, if she's within driving distance. Grab your purse and run once she arrives! If you follow these strict guidelines, the patient should recover in approximately 7 days. To determine the severity of the Man Cold, order a Meat Lover’s Pizza. If the patient eats less than 3 pieces, contact 911 immediately. The Man Cold video: the man cold

The other day I was lamenting on how a headache and the sniffles will turn a 225 lb man into a world class sissy, but a woman will keep on keepin' on with the plague. Odd. Yet...true. Jeebers, is Karma pregnant?! I was actually thinking about my father, but now that you mention it, karma's a total nancy boy, too.

LOL!!!
I'm pretty independent. Even when I was married I didn't let a cold slow me down. Having survived cancer...the flu doesn't seem like much by comparison. I'm kind of a workaholic anyways. Example: Had a cold all last week...was hoping for a weekend off last weekend but it didn't happen...this is my third week without a day off. |

I am a man and when I get sick I am not a wimp about it. I know what to do and I just want everyone to stay the hell out of my way.
Now that I have said that, yes, most men are absolute wussies when they get sick. I want to tell them turn in your testicles. You are no longer qualified to have them. |

Just teasing...workaholics are a breed unto themselves. Congrats on beating the big C!  I have a few survivors in my famly, seems to adjust your perspective somewhat.

Oh knock it off. Deep down you like taking care of us. Quit complaining, for once we're reading your minds. No one is trying to claim we don't, BUT...getting the favor returned once in awhile would be nice too. 
I totally agree. Except...it won't happen. haha. Most men are too busy running in the opposite direction at the first sign of a sniffle so that they don't get put to work. 
That said, there are some guys who will be nice and stick around and help. However, they are rare and if you find one who's still single (even more rare)...send him my way! hahaha!

FYI - I still have my man-cold from last Wed., But I did wash the dishes yesterday after the thanksgiving meal - -get the chalk out
My wife got the woman-cold and spent the same amount of time in bed over it. We have five kids from 12(13 Dec 17) thru 5, so the man-cold syndrom really is not welcome here. We cannt afford to have it

Interesting read.
Lets see, you ladies are complaining that us men are like little kids, babies even. We whine and carry on. Then one guy and maybe I should chime in and say that most of you women have the Florance Nightingale syndrome and baby us even if we dont want all of it, just a little bit, but back off and let us sleep. Now I also hear some of you gals say that it would be nice if us guys would return the favor when you are sick. Ok from this guys perspective its like this. I will make you chicken soup or what ever. Make runs for water or get another pillow for you. But I will also back off and let you just rest or sleep. Now if calling out to me to get my attention means that I am neglecting you, sorry that is not the intent. Nutshell, please do not hover over us. Let us get some rest/sleep. And we are not neglecting you, we are trying to let you rest or sleep. Just give out a call or ring a dang bell and we will be right there beside you. Max |

The simple reason is, women HAVE to keep going. Anyone who can live for 9 months while a child grows inside her, then pass it through that too-small opening, has gotta be tough. I have great respect for wimminz. |
