Taking My Cold Like A Man …

I'd like to interrupt this regular programming to inform the Women of Hucks Online that I haven't been a pest for Mrs. O today, despite my sinus infection and chest cold. I've simply gone about my blogging, with an occasional trip to the medicine closet for cough syrup & Day Quil. No moping. No demands for over-the-top treatment. Just an occasional cough. Which always earns a worried look from She Who Is Indeed The Better Half Of My Marriage.

Question (for Women of HBO): Is your husband a pest when he's sick?
