Awww, Brighter, I am so sorry that you are not feeling well. Sending you some nice chicken soup, orange juice, and soft Puffs Plus tissues. Also some Valentine’s chocolates to enjoy when you are feeling better. You don’t have to share and can even stick your fingers in the bottoms to see what the fillings are. 😃 ---

Oh, I do hope you stick around here. 😃 I don’t have a cold, but I am lolling around today taking it easy after having a tooth removed and root canal done yesterday - I too require entertaining. 🙂 ---

> [@Silver\_Tyger](#): > > I also have a cold, but a baby one (I have symptoms, but sound worse than I feel.) If you have symptoms, but they only sound bad, that means you don’t have cold, and I only hear sounds of your desperation! Considering this is internet and I supposed to hear nohing ( sound is off 🆒 ), just see, I still think I need that Psychiatrist from Scotland just to make sure I’m allright. > [@Silver\_Tyger](#): > > We have a whole bunch of candy over here.

Not got a cold; have got a herniated disc, been stuck virtually immobile, and basically lying grumpy and hurty in bed for over three weeks now. Not only is today valentine’s (which I don’t really care about, being a single miserable git), it’s my birthday on thursday. Bah humbug. I’m not contagious at least, so you can all come round and entertain me. Bring cake. ---

> [@Brighter](#): > > you’d have to do much better. I still have Venus Night mandarine and peach sake; better selection. Cut me some slack, I was raised by a cheap drunk and a teetotaler. Baby steps. 🙂 And this is homemade. Actually I’ve got pineapple infused sake - which I’m not sharing - mandarin infused sake, and mandarin infused citrus vodka. (I don’t know where the rum came from. Wishful thinking, I suppose.) > [@](#): > > Chocolate, esp. ‘lots of’, is bad for teeth. Worse than candy floss?
