It’s my turn!
I’ve been sniffling and sneezing for the past two days and my eyeballs feel like they are way too big for their sockets…
I used to always get my ‘annual Christmas cold’ between Christmas and New Year, though for the last two years I haven’t had a cold at all. Guess it’s about time. And it’s actually not bad timing as it should be gone by Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, as I am not a man with a cold I won’t be stopping by with fifteen-minute updates. 😉

I want to find out what it looks, feels, and tastes like to commit to the ultimate in dietary trade-offs: a lifetime lived on the brink of starvation, in exchange for the promise of a life span longer than any human has known.
This article totally creeped me out. Imagine how totally obsessed, and ultimately uninteresting, one would have to become in order to maintain this sort of lifestyle.

From this morning’s Grauniad. . .
“If sex – or rather, the lack of sex – in long-term relationships isn’t a hot topic, it’s because no one dares talk about it. Or admit to it. Until now …”
It’s rather a long article and I think some of it is kinda crap, but there are some interesting ideas in it nevertheless.
What do you think?

What is it about men with colds?
Like, why do we need to be given the fifteen-minute update?
And why can’t they seem to manage doing basic stuff that has little or nothing to do with how much they are sniffling or sneezing? Without having to announce these amazing feats of accomplishment to the world at large (ie. me).
Yeah, you guessed it. Nog has a cold.

Panic attacks affect a lot of us and are often not very well understood, even by those experiencing them.
They also take many forms. They can feel like an impending sense of death or doom, a fear of losing one’s sanity, a feeling of losing control … all of which create a very strong sense of FEAR and panic.
What types of remedies or methods for controlling this feeling of panic work best for you?
