What methods have you used to relieve stress?
I usally workout - but lately, it hasn't been helping.
Any suggestions?
Note: Do not recommend yoga, I have no patience for it.

Well, bless you is just short for "may God bless you". To be honest, if there is any blessing to be done God is the very person to do it! :rabb:
My question was: why is it used for a sneeze and not when we cough or cry? And I got an answer to my earlier question, regarding the Bubonic Plague - sneezing is one of the most common symptoms, so your above statement makes sense.

I might appear a touch pedantic here but aren’t numbers 3, 8, 11, 16 and 18 telling us what "not" to do as opposed to what "to" do. Just a minor technicality but I thought I’d bring it up. Out of 21 items there are only sixteen to actively do and two of those are a bit dubious. :he:
nit-picking :hehe:

The origin of the phrase “bless you” when someone sneezes goes as far back as the Bubonic Plagues in Europe. Some believe it to be older still. However it was popularised in 590AD by Pope Gregory when the plague reached the outskirts of Rome. The Pope ordered everyone to prey and hopefully be blessed by God. It was given strength when the Great Plague of London struck as the same sentiments were carried out as the words translated into English as “Bless You”. Of course the Nursery rhyme “Ring around the Roses” also has origins relating to the plague.
I guess you can bless people any way as a gesture of goodwill! :rabb:
I get the part of Bubonic plague and the "bless you" origin and so forth, but how is that associated with sneezing in reference to using the phrase "bless you"? Why do people say "bless you" after one sneezes? (I've even noticed in India people usually say "whaeguru" afterwards) I have a jist as to why, just like to hear people's opnions :happy:
