My First Cold of the Season: "The Drainer"

I hate getting sick. This cold came on fast. I felt the germs coming on Tuesday morning and by Wednesday afternoon they were in full swing. We'll see how long the little bugger will last. I feel like I've been drained of all my bodily liquids. This means no donating plasma for a while. (FYI, sold plasma is used as active ingredients in expensive lotions and shampoos. It also has a shelf life of a decade.) What I should have tried: Flu Shot Airbourn Tablets Not playing Ultimate Frisbee Tuesday night Due to unpopular demand, I have replaced the graphic sniveling "cold" picture with this new censored version. If you have any "motherly" advice for me over the next few days or to prevent common colds in the future, please leave me your comments below. Thanks. ---------------- Listening to: Mandarin Foundation Disc 1 - Track 06

So I call them up all disgruntled and discover that it was their fault that I was never contacted that they couldn't process my credit card. I then asked to speak to a manager, Tom. I felt kind of soccer momish, but I worked my MTC referral center magic on him and ended up upgrading my headphones and getting next day shipping as a cherry on top. Lesson of the day: Ask to speak to the supervisor. **My last pair of headphones were these: Around the Ear Triports . This is a $40 upgrade for me and I get to try an on-the-ear experience this time, meaning...

1000 Awesome Things - This is definitely some male's attempt at finding reasons to be grateful in life. He's still only on 910 last I checked, but that is still quite impressive. My favorite is the smell of a freshly opened can of tennis balls. Woman blind 3 days out of the week ( News Story ). I thought this would be a fascinating beginning to a, "Would you rather..." question. Any ideas on finishing it? I would say, "either no sight for 3 days or no smell/touch?" 21 ways to ZEN out your life - I tried number 8 and it was really hard for me. I desperately wanted a pudding snack pack.
