I'm enjoying a few Michelle hours to myself, and I'm getting over some kind of chest cold. That made me wonder (and I know I'm probably making waaaaaaaay to much of this topic, and I'm not even leaving the house yet), but do you worry a sneeze or a cough might give you away? I don't have a quiet cough - it usually sounds like I'm about to let go of a lung. I don't have a "dainty" sneeze - I could knock people down if I didn't cover my face. One GG at my office doesn't even have what I call a full sneeze. All you hear is a very swift, slightly high-pitched "aaahh", then a "choo" That is so quiet you'd think it was coming from Tinkerbell. The last time I tried to hold a sneeze in, I had to wait a few minutes for my eyeballs and eardrums to reset (I haven't done it again). While we can work our voices, an unexpected sneeze could draw attention that you don't want. For the sake of the question, let's take away the "I don't care what others do think" factor. There are many here who aren't worried about what others think or say, but for me (whenever I do get the guts to go out), the last thing I would want is to draw unnecessary attention to myself.
By the way, I ramble. I got it from my Mom. My dad can't stand it when it takes me 30 seconds to answer a yes or no question.
Thanks
