+Alibags Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 ME!!! Other half is trying to get me to stay in this weekend, wrapped up warm and eating chicken soup, because I have a nasty cold. I am barred from geocaching. It's also raining I shall SULK!!!! Whilst he out (trip to the chmists to buy more cold remedials) I am sneakily printing out a few nearby caches that I haven't done yet. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Explain to him that colds are viruses and not temperature dependant, in fact remaining indoors only increases his exposure to the viruses and your chances of becoming reinfected, starting the circle of exposure again. Get out there and cache and get better, this is the perfect excuse. Just think, Eskimo's don't get colds. Quote Link to comment

+Beds Clangers Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Alibags, if you have a cold, I mean a real cold don't let him catch it as you will be looking after him for the next two weeks with terminal FLU!! Well that's what I do when I've got a cold or is that terminal flu being a bloke Can't go caching myself this weekend, have broken a finger nail and waiting for it to grow back Nick Quote Link to comment
mikethetemplar Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Get out there and do it. It mat well be slinging it down, But its better than decorating! Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 A bit of fresh air, helps with a cold virus, so you go girl!!! Get out there and Cache find like there is no tomorrow. Like was said in a previous reply it may be your last chance for a couple of weeks when HE gets terminal flu and you have to nurse him better. Joan Quote Link to comment

+MarcB Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Caching in the cold is okay, in the pouring rain it's a bit miserable to say the least! MarcB Quote Link to comment
+rufty tufty boys Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Can't help identifying with sentiments of this thread - No colds in the house allowed, but Mrs Ruft Tufty keeps muttering about the bathroom needing decorating. Apparently I promissed to get it done by Christmas, but Stonefisk keeps getting ahead of us in caches found and 100 seems reachable now.... Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 My bathroom still needs decorating. I ripped out the old suite removed 20 square metres of old tiles, laid a new heated floor and plumbed in the new suite (inc jacuzzi bath, this bit with help from Himself) and then kind of ran out of steam... every weekend that I should be tiling I keep going out and caching. I will have to nag me some more. BTW, despite the cold, I went out and did 4 caches in the end. One on Saturday in the pouring rain and three yesterday. I would have gone for a fourth yesterday but I felt so grotty that I decided to come home and have a soak in a hot bath and a nice cup of tea. In the end, Himself did not nag me as he has discovered EBay and spent 80% of the weekend glued to the PC furthering his evil EBay empire. Quote Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 hi all theres only one thing better than going out caching and getting wet through on the outside and thats going out to a beer festival and getting wet through on the inside as well, went to Nott'm beer fest saturday and caching on sunday what an idlic life i lead but when the wife starts to feel like a geocaching widow then its time to mend some bridges, i made her a member of camra so she can go to the beer festivals and i going to talk her into going caching with me soon. Cheers BountyHunter1 Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 you old romantic you, making her a member of camra! you know how to treat a woman! still if she likes going to the festival then ideal. fresh air good for you but only if you've got the bath fixed so you can have that long hot soak when you get home. don't like caching in the rain but love it in the snow. can't wait. mind you we hardly get any here on the south coast. will have to plan a couple of trips for when there's some snow on the ground.
