....................... produce so much snot when you've got a cold ?

Courtesy of middle grand-daughter, I have a real streamer.

In 24 hours, I've flooded four handkerchiefs and got through two toilet rolls.

How can such fairly small orifices produce SO MUCH mucous ???

I don't think I want to know, JR. I am sorry for you with a cold and hope it doesn't last too long.

Who snot J.R.?

What is it with men and handkerchiefs? I have never understood why anyone would want to blow their nose into a piece of fabric, roll it up, put it in their pocket and then use it again!!! One of the more foul jobs of being a 'stay-at-home-mom' is laundering husband's offending articles. The stuff is stronger than superglue. Give me nappies and vomit any day. Snot just makes me want to chunder.

Get well soon, J.R.!! Eat things that are hot to dry the mucus up (spices, chilli etc) and lay off dairy produce until it has gone.

Just you wait for the plumlets (if any) you won't know what happened.

We have all had a cold in the office, I usually ge the 'streamer' but this one has been 'chesty' (and there is plenty of chest) so I sound as if I am on 60 Capstan Full Strength.

Hope you are soon better JR - I had a cold a week or so ago (admittedly not as bad as Man Flu though!)

Good advice. Curry and brandy (or something similarly strong) always sorts me out.

Just discovered some beef mince in the freezer, so it looks like chilli mince with loads of fresh garlic and pasta for tea.

Well at least no-one will be able to get close enough to catch it from you.

Men get 'flu

Women get on with it

Hope your cold is better soon JR

Hey Midget, my wife keeps telling me that one. Nowadays, every time I get a cold I just announce to everyone that I am dying!
