Anyone else get mildly irritated when people say "Bless you!" after you sneeze?
For me, it's "Great! Not only was I interrupted by having to sneeze, now you've added the obligation to say 'Thank you' to my troubles!". Also, can we drop the ritualised superstition given that the year starts with a 20?
I love a good sneeze, its sort of like an orgasm for the nose! So yes having to say thankyou kind of takes some of the enjoyment out of it so I can think why you might get annoyed. Its not the rats that caused the plague either it was the fĺeas xarrying the bacteria. POOR Rats always get the blame for everything.
In our house "bless you" has been replaced with "get a tissue" or "blow your nose" anything to try and stop my beloved pestilence demons from spreading their germs!
‘Pestilence demons’ Love it! That sounds like a very accurate description of my two litluns
Do they still wake during the night or just wake up too early?
Kitsune said:Do they wake you from your beauty sleep?
No - we don't have any for exactly that reason! Too old to miss much sleep these days :-).
Be nice if one of mine would let me sleep!
