I too demand sympathy! →[More:] I have the sorest throat in the world and I feel like crap. Plus, my editor just called to ask if things were going okay on the story I'm working on -- but no one ever actually gave me an assignment, so I had no idea what she was talking about. So now I feel like crap and I have a deadline.

Sympathy. Heaps of it.

Or at least as much as gaspode got.

Have you been drinking out of wet cups again mudpuppie? My nana told me that's what causes sore throats.

I just planted your arugula seeds, pup. Hope that makes you feel better.

But it probably doesn't really make much of a dent. Hope you feel better. And all you other sick folk, too.

omg mudpuppie, I'm soooo sorry. Howzabout I fax you some of this awesome drizzly low-70's weather from the refreshing Rockies? I say, having a cold/flu/respiratory virus in the middle of an infernal August heat wave has got to be the Worst. Ever.

well me mum claims that being heavily preggo throughout a miserable D.C. summer before a/c was the norm and whilst attending grad school was a real killjoy, but anyhows...
