Not Dead Yet

Hi, happy blogland. I'm back (sort of). I've spent two whole days on the couch. I've caught up on my daytime tv, I've watched a hundred movies. I've whimpered. I've whined. I've eaten pudding and ice cream. I've seen the doctor. (it's not strep) I've turned down his offer of narcotics (what is it with doctors these days?)

I can still barely swallow, but otherwise I feel ok. And if I watch one more episode of "A Different World" or "Dr. Phil" I'm going to go crazy, or else become addicted.

And I've done all this totally alone, which brings me to my question of the day:

Why do men act "like that" when you're sick?

When I'm sick, Andy wants nothing to do with me. I don't get sympathy, I don't get company, I don't get chicken soup. I seriously haven't seen him in two and a half days, and have only talked to him briefly on the phone when I've called him. I get two general impressions from him when I'm sick:

1) So what? (ie does he think I'm faking? Does he think I'm exaggerating? Does he think I'm just trying to get attention? Or does he really just not care?)

2) You're no fun, call me when you're fun again. (what, if I'm in no shape to go out/play with you/have sex with you then I'm just boring and you'll find something else fun to do?)

Talking to the "gals" at work, it seems their husbands/boyfriends are pretty much the same. In fact, the man who works across from me, who's a great guy (we secretely call him a "GBF - Girl's Best Friend") says he's just the same way when his girlfriend is sick.

And yet, they're all big babies when THEY are sick.

I'm pretty annoyed, to tell you the truth, so please. Explain it to me. Defend the men. Because I'm taking it personally and my feelings are hurt. And if my throat didn't hurt too much to swallow, I'd bite Andy's head off.

New Getup
My Weatherpixie is wearing a brand-new outfit. She must have finally gone shopping for some winter clothes, cause it's a long skirt and long sleeve sweater. Only the funny thing is the weather is warmer here right now than it's been for months....

Weird, so in the winter she wears practically nothing, then as summer comes around she starts to cover up?

Things I Learned on the Toilet

Well, Bet was closest to the correct answer yesterday, but the sound effect of E.T. walking was actually achieved by one of the sound-people squishing Jello through her hands.

Today's question:

On the sitcom ""Cheers", who supplied the rarely-heard voice of "Norm's" wife?

Things I Learned on the Toilet

In Ireland, Kennedy means (get this) "hideous head." Isn't that wonderful?

Today's question:

How was the sound effect of E.T. walking achieved?
