Everyone on the FACE OF THE EARTH knows men are bigger & stronger than are women & children in every way, shape, & form! They’re also better w/directions, math, & politics. So as you can imagine, when the subject of the common cold is discussed, the 1st thing they say is, "It's much more common in women than in men!" I mean, who would object to the idea that it’s those w/the big, deep voices & big, hairy nostrils who never get hoarse & always breath through their nose while their dependents at home suffer as viral invaders tear down their weak immunities? But little do they know that the healthiest group of humans is actually childless lesbians, who were given a slightly boosted immunity by God (for childbirth) but refused to have kids who parasitically drain their health (highest-lowest, the ave. coldrates go: boys, girls, women, men, gays, lesbians). So guys, why DOES it bother you to know a pudgy white girl of 23 in Deer Park, TX can show you up this winter by getting fewer colds?

Why must researchers post such sexist things as this about young women and colds?

I have no children, I never want to have any, so consequently I am NOT experiencing an up-rise in common cold infections, or any others for that matter. I believe myself heterosexual but am not willing to live the life of a mother if it means that men will attain the right to call me snot-face, phlegm-bag, and all those other things I like to call sick people. I just wish there was a way to distinguish myself from my age-mates who may soon be getting 2-4 colds a year from their sniveling offspring. I mean, I have this “I’VE NEVER HAD A COLD IN MY LIFE” shirt that I made, but should I start acting more like a lesbian despite having a boyfriend who doesn’t care if I get fewer colds than he does this year?

Hi! The "Sam Hill" caught my eye, so here I am like a dog on crap. Ha, ha, ha!
I'm confused here, but I'd really like to help if I can. As near as I can figure, you have a boyfriend who has no problem with your being healthier than him. Your problem is that men as a whole like to think they're big and brawny and macho, so you don't like it when they're pushy about you being healthier than them. Am I correct so far?
Whether you have a cool boyfriend or not, why do you care about the personal opinions of shallow, egotistical men who are pushy? Just get on with life and don't ever give it another thought. Be happy in knowing you'll outlive ninety percent of the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal swine. I lived in Houston long enough to know the types you mean. Follow the obituaries and track them down one at a time and p!ss on their graves if it makes you feel any better. But it sounds to me like the men you're speaking about and you are both very insecure. That's where the true conflict lies.
You can't do anything about their opinions of you or themselves, and you shouldn't let their opinion of you affect the way you feel about yourself. Ultimately, only you can change the way you feel about yourself. Other people never have any more power over you than what you yourself give them. Remember that and be healed.
And if you ever want to check out a lesbian, don't be afraid to try it. I did. Nobody much seems to really care these days. A lot of guys think it's sort of a turn-on, but I can take it or leave it, myself.

Eli is up adversarial to between the worst passing DEF contained in the league. They made McNabb seem good, even in spite of the undeniable fact that he can't throw and has no WRs who can capture it. he's a suitable 10 play this week, properly purely before the others. The DEF of Detroit and the Rams are both playing extra effective than human beings understand.

I'm the boyfriend she's talking about and I DON'T GIVE A SCHIT IF SHE GETS LESS COLDS THAN ME THIS YEAR!!! (I have the sneaking suspicion that other guys don't either cuz nobody cares about her "never had a cold" shirt.) She's just being OCD, not that I don't have a touch of it myself, cuz she's been obsessed w/colds ever since 7th grade. Kids at school use to call her "IRIS the VIRUS" when she was sick (but then they'd also call me "CYRUS the VIRUS" when I was sick), so maybe that bothers her a lot. It doesn't bother me, but "SNOT-FACE" & "PHLEGM-BAG" might sting a little. It's like the "never had a cold" thing is her trademark cuz she says it to Spanish speakers as well -- "Yo nunca he tenido un resfriado en mi vida." She's deathly afraid of being labeled a "cold-catcher" cuz we like to make people feel bad when they're sick ("Aaah-haah! You're catchin' a cold!"). She says she likes me cuz my name, like hers, rhymes w/virus, so I can't call her "Iris the Virus" cuz then she'll just call me "Cyrus the Virus." She says she "couldn't imagine loving a Ron, John, Mike, Brad, or Danny" like she loves me cuz of this rhyme. What's so bad about being Iris or Cyrus the Virus when you're sick?!?

I couldn't give a crap less if you do or don't get colds, Iris! Why would I even care if you dyed your hair snot-green? I wouldn't, so stop w/the shouting & go enjoy your life if you're really all that healthy. Life's too short to worry about who gets more colds than whom, so just enjoy the fresh air through your clear, healthy nose cuz you only get so many sunsets no matter how healthy you think you are.

Breathe-breathe-breathe- Count to ten, and breathe-breathe- breathe.
Reach slowly over to the counter........ not so fast. The cup is half-full, or half-empty, whichever works for you today, none-the-less, the cup has water, take four of the small pink and orange pills, lay back and it will be better in the morning.
Repeat after me: "I am a good person, I am a good person, I am a good person, I am a good person,"........................
nighty-nite.
