I get colds and flus all the time so I can no longer tell the difference between the two
The flu feels COMPLETELY different than a cold. Yes, you can tell the difference. The last time I had the flu I was almost hospitalized.
Actually, most places will submit a flu swab for rapid testing but it goes on for further testing and there are plenty of other viruses out there that someone can otherwise have.

I am definitely over this cold.
The flu ALWAYS comes with a temperature, sometimes very high, a cold does not. The other components of flu that generally don't come with a cold are persistent bad headache
and aching joints and muscles.
If you have running eyes and nose and sneezing, it is a cold.

Then I've gotten the flu and didn't know it. Thought it was just a cold. Temp in the high 102 range, body aches, chills, no runny nose and no sneezing. Just general malaise. It came on suddenly and lasted about three weeks. I felt really run down but I could still run on the treadmill at least for the first couple of days. Though I felt horrible afterwards (but oddly enough not during the run).
I still think it was just a bad cold. The way people describe the flu, there's no way I could've run on the treadmill! That's why I'm confused. Do I get colds or do I get the flu?

It still does not have to be either. There are plenty of other things out there.
If you go to the ER and they run a rapid flu, most places can then send it out for additional testing for more than ten other things it could potentially be. (Still might not be those things, but ya know...)
funny about the thread title, alluding to the holiday song - surprised they still play it on the radio
If you listen to the words carefully, it's about a man date raping a young woman. She wants to leave but he refuses to let her go, drugs her, and forces her to sleep with him

I know! ("say, what's in that drink") I think of Cosby each time I hear it & have to put it on mute. That song is creepy & annoying as all hell and I wish she'd just smack him and run.

Pair of ya, get your minds out of the gutter and off the PC Express.
Baby, It's Cold Outside was written nearly 80 years ago and is a romantic, witty and somewhat sly song in the way things were back then concerning a guy and girl doing nothing more than possibly staying in and "snuggling".
It was actually written by a man to sing with his wife at parties; the rest as they say is history.
Song depicts a time when a "nice" girl didn't stay too long alone with a man unless she was married to him. There is no serious indication anything was put in the drink and or that anything more happens than she decides to remain a bit longer.

I'm thinking of the line: "I ought to say no, no, no." But "ought to" implies she did not.
And then the next line: " At least I’m gonna say that I tried"
When is she going to say that she tried to resist when she actually DIDN'T? To the police, in her extortionist lawsuit, to the newspapers."
