I am running a fever, my bed was soaked through this morning, I can hardly stand..and I still have to organise dinner etc..I want someone to change the bed, tuck me in, and bring me drinks and paracetamol!

Uh Lynn, when I was married I still had to do what you just described.....
And take care of him too!

A mate isn't always the answer to everything.

Awwweee, Babes . . . you sound like I felt a few weeks ago. You might want to skip the dinner and stay in bed and get plenty of rest. Call Streff to get his butt over there and take care of you.

And what the hell is paracetamol?????

I'm sorry you are feeling bad on this holiday weekend. I do hope you get to feeling better soon.

Do get as much rest as you can Lynn.
The flu this year is wicked!

Mr. Heating Pad is your friend!
Mine saved me and I hope you can cuddle up with
one to help ease those nasty aches and pains!

If you have what I had, it takes time and once again,
rest, (and lots of it), to get through it.

And I agree, get Streff over there to tend and pamper you!

Sending a warm hug to you...
now go and
cuddle with Mr. Heating Pad and rest!

I think it's similar to Tylenol (acetaminophen?)

Awww...... sorry to hear you're so sick, Babes! Let the kids fend for themselves and get some REST!

Babes . . . I was taking Advil Flu and Body Ache and it is pretty good stuff if you can get it over there . . . after I finally went to the doctor tho because the sore throat was killing me, I discovered that I had strep on top of the flu and the doc gave me some kind of shot. Don't know what it was, but I felt like a new person the next day.

Tell those kids they can take care of you for a change and then milk it up!!

Hi...hope you are feeling better Babes!

Here's my viewpoint on the original question.

I feel that my life is complete. And no, I don't have a man in it. I do have love in it though and perhaps that's why I feel complete...I have a best friend who would beat up any man who hurt me & who spent $ to fly me out to see her...I have a father, mother, brother & sister-in-law who send so much love and support my way that I thank God continually for it. Do I miss not having a guy in my life - yup. I do think that a man in my life can add to the fullness that is already there, but I've enjoyed my life without one in it. Do I ever get upset that I don't have a guy in my life - yup, cause I do enjoy that type of friendship. I think it's harder when your friends are coupled up as you lose out on the intimacy of those friendships, that help add love to your life. And as all my friends are in that state, I do miss having someone to 'hang with' or be with regularly. If I had friends to be with more regularly, then I don't think it would bother me as much...and hasn't in the past.

I'm not sure if I truly made any sense above...but I am pretty darn happy with my life. But I would still love to share it with a wonderful man.

I guess I would have to say I DO need a man in my life. I can make it on my own, even though it is hard, but that is totally not the issue being addressed.

I like to nurture. To take care of. I don't really have a hobby, but the people in my life tend to be that for me.

Is that wrong? Am I a needy beatch? I don't think so. That just happens to be what I like to do.

I AM incomplete alone. I'll admit it.

But that's what makes the world go round. Different kinds of people.
