CIB, Thanks for starting this thread. It is helpful to commiserate. I had a head cold earlier in the week, thought I was over it, and now it has morphed into more. My husband is visiting for Christmas (he still lives in Ohio) and now he has it. Ugh! The warm and bright sun does help though. I'm going to bake it out....

I really don't belong in this thread because I do not have a cold. But when I saw what you were whining about, it made me think of this old You Tube clip. Many, many months ago, this was posted on TOTV. But I think the occasion warrants a rerun.

btw, if anyone can understand what the paramedic says to the wife as he is leaving and she tells him she has a cold, too, please interpret for me. Since the first time I heard this thing, I have tried repeatedly to figure out what he says at that point. It is after he makes a face at her. It sounds like he is asking her if she has ever heard of something -- but I do not know what that something is. If you know, please tell me.

This is "Man Cold."

Boomer! I don't have a clue, but I thought he said Lamb Sip, so I googled it and there's a blog about it. Everyone guessing! I don't know if it's lamb sip, but I do think it's some kind of medicine sold in Great Britain.
That's just a guess! LOL

Boomer,

That is the best!! Loved it.

It sounded like Lamb Sip to me too

Oh woe is me! I have a virus, can't sell my house, wanna be in TV, its rainy and dreary here in Carolina, so I'm am also w(h)ining and feeling mopey. I hope everyone who is uneer the weather is feeling better, that the housing market picks up and we can all sell sell sell, and then have a REAL wine and cheese party in Paradise.

Sorry to hear about all you sickies out there....... homemade chicken soup really does cure !

In the meantime....... whine-on .....

Maybe it's Lamb soup.

I am a longtime lurker and am patiently waiting for my husband to retire so we can make the move to The Villages. I do get a respite from the cold as we attend a wedding in Miami the first week in January. Thanks for the whine and cheese!

[ouma1938]

Evolve I love your picture. Its exactly the way I feel right now. And I'm a cat person as you can see from my picture.
When were you are Clark? I was there from 1977-1980.

[evolve54]

It was my first assignment - I arrived there in January 1979 and left in January 1982. It was a good tour but my favorite was Aviano - I miss Italy he food, the wine, the people and going on volkmarches. Don't miss the job but Italy was the best.

[ouma1938]

So we did spend a short period there together. I also love Italy, never lived there but visited many times. I drool when I think about the food and wine. Probably a good thing I didn't live there.

I'm taking this back to your original post.

Whining is a way to get attention...not a positive trait. It's woe is me, feel sorry for me. In fact, I couple whining with spoiled and self serving.

Look...I live in Michigan where the weather is frightful. We have loads of snow, like you. We have ice. We have frigid temps, like yours...but I acted.

I know you have a house to sell. I know you are waiting until the price is right. I know you are eyeballing every retirement community in Florida. I know you are in many forums asking many questions.

So...my question to you. If you are so hell-bent with moving back to Florida, then why don't you put out the bucks and get your arse here to explore? Flights can be cheap if you research them. Stop the whining...just get here. What's your excuse?

I was hell bent...I flew here...I explored...I didn't whine! I didn't need cheese to convince me this was my Paradise.

Chelsea, Peggy, Punkpup,

Thanks for trying with me on that "Man Cold" thing. It does sound like "Lamb Sip" or maybe "Lamb Soup."

Chelsea, I wonder, too, if Lamb Sip is some kind of British cold medicine. And that thing about a blog on the topic -- I have not looked for it yet, but how weird is that? I still don't quite comprehend cyberspace, and the blogosphere or whatever it's called is just way beyond my comprehension. It sure has been a weird century so far.

So anyway, thanks for trying. That thing makes me laugh every time I watch it. We have introduced that pitiful phrase, "I called for you. Laura, Laaauuuurrrrrrraaaaaaaaa," into our family dialogue from time to time. You know how those things catch on. And also, "Poor little bunny."

I am glad you liked the little clip.

And I still don't have a cold. They don't like me much and don't visit too often. But whine on....

Boomer. What??? Are you nuts? I used to believe in the germ theory but after having children I now know that colds are caused by saying. MY KIDS HAVEN'T HAD A COLD ALL WINTER.

Don't say things like that. I am starting to boil the chicken for your chicken soup right now. Whew. I thought you were smarter than that.

Buy ya books and buy ya books............
