Symptoms of a Man Cold

Men always seem to suffer worse than women when it comes to the common cold. It is called a Man Cold. Here are some tell tale signs of a Man Cold.

1. Laying in bed coughing dramatically for effect.
2. Tissue box in the bed for easy access.
3. Moaning.
4. No desire for a shower.
5. General bad attitude.
6. Leaving Facebook statuses that say you are sick and want your mom.
7. Body aches.
8. Low grade fever.
9. Sore throat that everyone needs to know about.
10. Insisting that you are going to die.
11. Insisting sore throat must have warped into strep throat.
12. Leaky faucet nose (sometimes stuffed with tissue to avoid having to wipe every 5 seconds).
13. Using TV as babysitter.
14. Sniffling and snorting.
15. Unattractive gigantic (possibly dangerous) sneezes that nearly make you wet your pants.

I, Kat, have a man cold. Didn't think it was possible and that I could never be as annoying as my husband a man when I was sick, but I am. Dammit. Now, could someone fly my mom over here to take care of me?

Now that was funny!

Not your cold, mind you, but the fact that you have a man cold!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! POOOORRR BAAABBBBYYYYY!!! Make sure you get a little bell to ring so you don't have to yell to far at Hubby to bring you things.

Get to feeling better SOON!
Sorry you're sick! Hope you feel better soon! If you can get your hands on some Zycam I highly recommend it for all types of colds! ;0)
There's nothing worse than a really bad cold when there are small kids in the house. Hope it clears up soon.
Yeah! Man cold,my husband loves to infect with that, hope you'll get better soon because the unattractive sneeze is really dangerous=)
I have to confess that, as I started reading this post, I got a little shaky because It thought this was about your husband, and that gave me flashbacks of last year and when my husband got pneumonia, and sweet heaven on earth, I thought none of us would survive that, so by the time I got to the end and learned you were sick, well, I was flush with relief! I mean, I'm sorry you're sick, and I hope you get better soon. Women don't deserve a man cold!
Ok this made me laugh because as I was reading your list I was thinking that "gee I have a man cold" and then I saw your last paragraph. :o) This was after I fought the urge to post a facebook status about my sore throat. Here's hoping we both feel better soon!
Oh lord this made me laugh. Sorry but I sooooo hope you get better soon!!!

PS.. Are you not doing Dear So and So anymore? If you said something about it and I missed it, I'm sorry. I haven't been able to link up lately. Just curious.

Hugs and get better vibes sent your way!!
Poor baby. Break out the chicken soup and the whiskey with honey cough syrup. This to will pass. Just don't let it get to the bronchitis stage.

Will call you on the land line.

Hugs and kisses.
