Yes, this sort of thing would make an interesting book.<br /><br />Cardiogirl- Isn't it a bummer to catch a cold in the summer? Worse even on vacation? Yeah, the flu is not usually prevalent in the summer, but I guess it can happen, like last year.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-34099537292040652852010-11-23T04:21:52.052-05:002010-11-23T04:21:52.052-05:00It's funny how we fall into the rhythm of the ...It's funny how we fall into the rhythm of the weather and colds, isn't it? I always expect a cold in fall, winter and early spring when winter is struggling to hold on.<br /><br />But if I get sick in summer I will complain loudly and often of the miscarriage of justice. I should never have a cold in 80 degree while the sun shines brightly. It's just wrong. Plain and simple.<br /><br />However, now that I'm thinking about it I don't believe I've ever had the flu in summer. Colds, yes, but never the flu. Man, I guess it really could be worse.cardiogirlhttp://www.cardiogirl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-10131761057924089062010-11-20T11:41:33.971-05:002010-11-20T11:41:33.971-05:00Hi Linda.

This would be a nice idea for a coffee table book you know? Researching today's commonly used phrases and their origins would be interesting.Davina Haisellhttp://www.shadesofcrimson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-61125020619484409012010-11-19T10:08:09.979-05:002010-11-19T10:08:09.979-05:00Talon- Thanks, this was fun to do, and since I had...Talon- Thanks, this was fun to do, and since I had just used that phrase, I thought I should find out where it came from.<br /><br />Linda- Sorry about the season, but take heart, soon it will change. ;) Yeah, I'm not a big fan of winter either.<br /><br />Anne- I guess when you're really sick, under the weather just doesn't cover it.<br /><br />Sara- We do use phrases and expressions all the time that we grew up with, but have no idea why.

I also get curious about certain phrases and why we say them.<br /><br />I appreciate the reminders about cold and flu seasons.

We all wander around healthy as clams (or sorry, happy as clams) for 3 or 4 months and then "wham"! Cold and flu season.
