OK so it's the middle of winter and we are all going to get something at some point so I just thought maybe we could look at some of the positives about getting a cold or the flu. Here's mine- coughing all the time will give you a killer ab workout


And before anyone goes nuts this is just meant to be funny

vomiting for days on end will help you lose weight?

Im usually a silver lining kinda gal but Im not sure even I can put a nice spin on cold and flu

I can't taste anything!!! Lack of taste = no point in eating "tasty" foods.

great reason to stay home from work and read or watch tv all day

having just gotten over a cold myself...I must say that when you are full of yuck...eating snack foods is the least of your concern. AND my water intake is through the roof with all tea and soup I ate! lol

not being able to smell my boyfriends farts was a godsend this week, alas i'm over my cold now but he still has bad gas :sick:

Currently suffering with a stinking cold and the only thing I can come up with is that I'm helping a kleenex worker keep his/her job

Our bodies perform amazing miracles like aching and swelling created without execising, volumes of mucus, overheating with fever, turning all consumables into liquid form and the like...... miracles, I tell you

Forced rest, and when you come out of a cold or flu you feel much more energized by comparison.

On this note: Please don't go the gym when you're sick.

great reason to take a looooong hot shower- your defense is "I was clearing out my sinuses"
