to want to kill the next man who tells me

[takingbackmonday]

I'm the 'perfect woman' at the moment because I'm blonde and have lost my voice (laryngitis).

ARGHHH.

Kick him in the bollocks, then he won't think you're so perfect.

I won't suggest you shout at him . . . well, not yet. :o

But you haven't lost your teeth!

Jaysus where do you live? 1956?

YADNBU.

''Jaysus where do you live? 1956?''

:o

Do you mean a husky voice or lost voice?

Its very important I know

Have you got a flat head to rest his pint on?

Your middle finger's intact, isn't it??

Utilise it!!

:o

The lost voice stops the vocal abuse.

I'm not the physical abuse type.

On the same not, if anyone tells dp he's 'lucky to have some quiet' (he disagrees and looks rather forlorn)..... growl

Ugh....I had a similar comment made to me by my ex-boss once. I lost my voice after a 4 week cough and he told me I sounded sexy.... I didn't know what to do or say. Just sat there very embarrassed and didn't talk to him again until I got my voice back. Something very wrong about a boss telling you, you sound sexy.

Oh and YADNBU!! I would help you!

YANBU.

I used to get larangytis every winter - had all those "you sound really sexy" comments too. There is nothing sexy about laryngitis!!! There is nothing original about those silly comments mate!-

coco lost. entirely.

It's still gone. Has anyone had this before who can tell me if it will ever come back?

It will come back. Until then, express your displeasure through the medium of dance

It will come back. Take it as a compliment. Marilyn Monroe with the husky voice and all that.

I literally had no voice for almost 2 months battling an ongoing throat infection about 5-6 years ago. Damn near drove me spare! Can't use the phone or anything. argh!!! You have my sympathies - it's maddening!

Jaysus where do you live? 1956?
I agree

It will come back. Until then, express your displeasure through the medium of dance

This made me laugh. A lot.

Perfect? You didn't mention if you can cook....

re all the "you sound sexy" comments.

Once, when I had a bad cold, a colleague told me "most women sound sexy when they have a sore throat . . . "

apparently I don't

I've used it to my advantage. I really need to be able to speak for my job so I've used it as an excuse to bugger off to France for a week to recover.

I would be happy with husky :( I still have absolutely nothing and have run out of antibiotics. argh.

Can't cook. Have lived off ketchup monster munch, redwine cheese and salad for the past few days.

I had a really bad virus in May and lost my voice. The kids loved it!! Even now if I shout (which is frequent with the 4 dc's) my voice goes hoarse again. I love singing and still can't reach the top of my normal range 4 months later. It is getting better..but it is really taking it's time. Persistant cough in May must have damaged the vocal chords .
