Man Flu and colds

S

"Renders any man unable to carry out the simplest of day to day chores" e.g feeding/changing/sleeping :)

I have been having a terrible hit of the old "man flu" recently :( Anyone got any good remedies? I think half the country is ill by the sounds of it!

I am always curious to hear what people use to fight colds. I use, black elderberries syrup and Vitamin C.

Plenty of tea to hydrate, rest, sleep, watch DVDs (tarantino movies are best for cold-like symptoms-from dusk till dawn, dawn of the dead etc for flu-like symptoms) and play Call of Duty 2 on line all night if you can not sleep!! These work everytime for me!

ummh simbad did i get that right that you don't really mean the flu but rather that condition (which tends to strike men only) of not being able to wash up, vacuum clean, do all the little things that need to be done... thus leaving the chores to others (usually women)?
happens to me too sometimes (one of those rare female cases)... remedies? write a to-do list. get a single item on the list done. congratulate yourself extensively, give yourself a reward, and make sure you get lots of praise. ("Oh, honey, that was sooo nice of you to actually take the garbage out... I know it is your chore anyway and is nothing special really, but still, thank you for your utter abandonment of all personal preferences and very useful contribution to household management. What would I ever do without you?")

Nice one!!!
So far we have: Drink fluids, Vitamins, DVDs and Video Games.
What's next?
