This amused me:

Sure, it’s satire, and somehow also unmistakably true.
Although I must admit, I’ve been stuck in bed since Tuesday night (the usual health issues), and things aren’t much better here either.
On the bright side, the health issues attacked at the same time as a load of winter weather crap, so I wouldn’t have been able to make it outside either way.
Enough about me.
How are the rest of you?
Did YOU make it out of bed today, and if so, did things get rapidly worse like the article said?

Basically. I wake up with a oh shit not again attitude every day…
What made yesterday so bad was that on top of the usual health junk, I had a migraine.
I have an average of 4 per month, but yesterdays was the extra-bad, puke-your-guts-out-and-wait-for-a-brain-hemmorage kind of bad.
I ate absolutely nothing all day yesterday because nothing would stay down.
Today I’m at least semi-functional.
Tomorrow I might even be able to get up and walk around.
Sunday I might even go outside! 😮
Yeah well… My coffee had grounds in it. But I had spent $3, so I drank it anyways…
Sorry… Your comments either make me smile, or just quit being I whiner. Get some middle ground Cordie!
God I’m a retard.
I meant your comments make me smile or make me want to quit being a whiner.
Coffee sounds good.
Sometimes I like to mix hot chocolate powder into my coffee.
It’s awesome when juuuust the right mixture is achieved.
P.S. For some reason “Cordie” made me picture a cocker spaniel.
Or maybe Cordelia from Shakespeare’s King Lear…. if she was a cocker spaniel.
I didn’t intend to refer to you as a dog…. But… Cocked spaniel do have a reputation for puking on everything…
Do they?
The only dog I ever had was a Golden Retriever.
He was a very nice dog, but he was also an outdoor dog, so I was unable to become intimately aware of his puking habits.
Which is probably the way we would both have preferred it anyway.
used to have a cocker spaniel years ago he kept digging holes
Did he throw up a lot?
nope
Also on the bright side, these bedridden days are teaching me to be a GREAT hermit.
Soon I will be waving my cane in the air, shouting at kids to get off my lawn.
There actually aren’t any kids who live nearby, which somehow makes my inner curmudgeon very happy.
I love my inner curmudgeon.
hey Cordless i’m sorry but i hope you can find some entertainment like youtube 😉
ugh i sounds like a recording
Screw on-screen keyboard
My uncle gave me a one-terabyte hard drive with all KINDS of stuff on it.
All the James Bond movies, all episodes of various old classic TV shows I like…
Monty Python… Mad Max… All the original series episodes of Star Trek…
Plus oodles more.
Plus some R.E.M. stuff I loaded onto it. (Because I am a sucker for R.E.M.)
And I have a few snacks here to munch on also.
I have so many days when I’m stuck here in bed with the disability issues, I’ve actually got it down to a semi-organized semi-happy science.
I’ll be up and around in a couple days.
Number ONE on my list of things to do: Take. A. Shower.
Good to know 😉 nice of him
i like munchies … not sure why… pass the time, and ‘food’

Gute nacht! 🙂
yet you are awake you should also try to find some sleep :P.
But well you are right since I am in bed now too I say: gute nacht 🙂
Es ist nur neun Uhr am Abend hier.
Haben Sie ein gutes Wochenende!
I wonder how long I can keep forcing myself out of bed to go through the motions of a life I hate.
But here’s a weekend coming up!
Weekends make life anywhere from 34% to 97% easier, depending on the amount of bacon cheeseburgers consumed.
If that doesn’t work, there’s always chocolate and kittens.
(Not at the same time).
For what it is worth, Cordless, I am in endless admiration of your attitude.
On the plus side this weekend, I have to be in to work at 1AM. The plus side of that is that the timing means less of the general population to deal with.
I think that leaves me at 34% on the bacon cheeseburger scale, sadly.
Kittens, dear lord, I’ve never had a pet because I can not bear the thought of any living creature having me responsible for its well-being.
Sorry about the 34% and the 1:00 am.
I used to have a couple cats, back when I was a little more mobile and better able to care for things.
I don’t have any these days because I know I wouldn’t be able to give them the care they needed.
Dealing with the general population is even worse, usually!
Hang in there, and do something silly just for the fun of it.
If nobody notices, ramp it up a notch…
And again,
Until somebody notices.
Then, you can smile and say “What? You never noticed that before?”
Because sometimes the general population needs a good kick in the pants like that. 🙂
Cordless… Say I for go the bacon burgers… What amount of kittens should I consume to achieve 97%
The problem with consuming the kittens is all the hairballs you’ll be gagging up.
Those stains never really come out of the carpet.
@cordless – What is a curmudgeon??.. Is that a conundrum?
Here are some online definitions of “curmudgeon” I found:
1. A crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas
2. An ill-tempered (and frequently old) person full of stubborn ideas or opinions
3. A surly, ill-mannered, bad-tempered person; cantankerous fellow
(I like to think that we all have a little curmudgeon within us; some just let it show more than others.) 🙂
I hope you feel better soon Cordless. I just got home an hour ago from work( getting out of bed required but only when I was ready) actually had an amusing time ( I’m the boss so shenanigans are approved ). I do enjoy being a hermit though 🙂
Yay for shenanigans being approved!
🙂
SHENANI- what you aprove of??
