I talk to his momma all the time. We are very good friends.
I threaten to call her all the time when he acts up. That always makes him behave.
I'm not kidding when I say my mother in law is a bonus.
(I also have a bonus brother in law and a bonus sister in law. The sister in law is cancelled out by the nutty sister in law who is interesting in her own right but nutty. My father in law in only comprehensible under the influence of LSD but I promise to provide that to the Any Woman who will take Mr. B off of my hands.
Did I mention that he really isn't all that bad?)
give him Nyquil, so you can sleep.
Uhhhh.....
So I'm guessing that the cast iron skillet to the head was.... ummmm... maybe just a bit much?
(kidding, kidding)
Boomer, do you want to trade husbands?
Merry Andrew is sort of unique, he sings in his sleep.
Does your husband know any neat tricks?
Boomer, in order to speed your husband's recovery, may I suggest that you buy him a little hand bell, so that he can summon you easily when he is in need of something.
It saves a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on a sore throat.
boomer, i'll take him. any man will do. they're all the same anyways.
I've told Mrs. Walter about this thread.
I'm on sale now as well.
Boomer--
I'll swap. Mr. Noddy has had a lingering infection since I left him Home Alone in December. A change would be as good as a rest.
oh come on Noddy i said i'd swap first, besides Merry Andrew can tap dance on the head of a pin and carry a tune in a bucket.
what can Mr. Noddy do?
Seaglass--
When he's feeling well he can do minor home repairs with very little nagging and he enjoys cleaning the lint filter in the dryer.
I think we have a winner!
Dag's offering to take him with no swap involved.
Neat tricks? Hmmmm....
He can ring a little sliver bell to summon me.
Seeing Merry Andrew dance on the head of a pin sounds divine but I do have some minor home repairs that need to be done.
If Dag bails, we'll start the swap meet.
Walter, how do we get hold of your better half?
She might want to get in on this swap meet thing.
Well, actually I'm trying not to be ill for a longer period.
Oh how funny.
Not but a few weeks ago, Bean and myself were SO sick for almost 3 weeks that I had some friends over to help with Bean...
yeah...
i was that sick.
Mr wolf.. after noticing how much attention and help I was getting ( im convinced of this)
decided HE HAD the same sickness.
stayed home for 2 days
no fever
eating all day
Bean and I both had horrid fevers, diarrhea, the works ok?
I was not even over my sickness when he decided this and I approached him in the evening and told him I was going to go upstairs and take a shower.
Mr - " Im sick. Do you really need a shower?"
Me- " Uhh.. YEAH. I have not showerd for 2 days!"
Mr- " will you bring me a diaper, somewipes, make bean a small snack and some juice?"
wtf.
I was going to be gone for frikin 20 minutes.
>sigh<
I know the baby syndrome Boom..
I feel ya sistah'
I was sick once early on in our marriage.
The Lovely Bride made some Chinese medicinal herb "tea".
I have been sick since, but clandestinely.
Doesn't that involve garlic, ginger and, er, something else (possibly the wash water from socks)? Our QA gal is part Japanese (and part Jewish, which probably makes for an extremely interesting Thanksgiving table), this is her recipe for tea for getting well:
1. Slice 2~3 cloves of garlic and fry 'em good in a little bit (not too much) of extra virgin olive oil until tender. DO NOT BURN THEM.
2. Grate 1" of ginger, or use one good squeeze from a tube of fresh grated ginger. DO NOT USE POWDERED GINGER.
3. Boil water and brew your favorite tea in a tea pot-- green or black. Go with plain flavor.
4. Prepare 2 lemon wedges.
5. Place the fried garlic and grated ginger in a big mug, pour the tea, and squeeze a lemon wedge over it. Put a tsp of sugar if needed.
6. Stir the concoction a little and let it sit for half a minute.
7. Eat the garlic first, then drink the "tea". You may split the toppings and have two servings, but you have to finish the garlic and ginger.
8. A good dash of cayenne pepper is sometimes handy to kill your taste buds and numb your throat.
Sounds like we need an A2K husbands-only meetup. Perhaps at Boomer's, since Mr. B. has that handy bell.
I wouldn't announce that openly - they might consider to change the room in a locked ward!
That's reserved for anyone who actually ingests Jespah's "get-well tea."
That sounds yummy Jespah. I must get sick.
