Re: laid up no joke
Same as when working and get those penis headed buggers that would come into work all dosed up with medication and hacking all over the place spreading their germs. The worst part was they would be applauded by the boss for never taking a day of work sick while everyone else was falling ill because of the feckers. Never could figure out how the employers mind worked concerning that.
Found out years ago so long back it does not matter. The sheriff and I purchased an electric blanket and we suffered all winter with colds. Ditched the blanket and since then only had the occasional cold but nothing so severe as then. Think that the problem with so many today is that the body has been doped up with so many chemicals and conditioned air (especially in Oz) that the immune system of the body is getting weaker. Prime example is kids of today. Live inside all the time and constantly suffering from some form or other and the kids that get outside and loose a bit of bark and leak claret while exploring life seem to coast through it all. Yep we are turning into a bunch of whimps I reckon and yes I include myself in that LOL.
That's the way the mop flops.
