I've been fighting a cold all week - since last weekend - and I've finally succumbed to buying some good cold medicine.

DayQuil Liqui-Caps.

This shit is magic, yo! No more stuffiness. No more coughing. No more runny nose. And it's making me really, really.....loose!

I'm wacked out on cold medicine. Wahoooo!

I'll behave...I could get into serious trouble like this.
 
Uh oh...I guess I shoulod have read the back of the box containing the phrase "Do not drink alcoholic products while taking this..." before I had those two Mike's Hard Lemonades.

Whoops!

Wooooohoooo!!
 
Well since you can't have any more Mike's pass them to me please ;), my fav. :D

No...no.. Mine! All Mine!

Well, okay...you can have one. :)

I got turned on to Mike's on one of my frequent trips to Ontario and was really stoked to find them down here in Maryland, too.

Now if I could only find some proper Molson's Special Canadian Draft, I'd be set! Until then, I'll hang onto my Samuel Adams.
 
Thanks Jazz Man, I'll send you some Keiths, way better than Molson. ;)

And don't forget the cheesecake. Can't have Mike's without it. :p
 
Hmm..I know nothing of these traditions of which you speak. You'll have to let me know more about them.

Until then...it's time for another dose. It's been 4 hours.

Yippee!!
 
Oh Jazz Man, you haven't spent enough time with us Canucks. ;)

Hard Mike's has to be accompanied with cheesecake, chocolate of course. Triple chocolate with chocolate chips preferred. :D

Smothered in warm, gooey hot fude sauce, topped with real whipped cream and after a few more Mike's the toppings don't always stay on the cheesecake. :p
 
What is it with men and directions?


Glad you're not suffering ill effects, Jim. If I had done anything similar, I'd be sick by now. Enjoy your ride.
 
I'd be sick too, MorningGirl5! I don't know how you do it, Jim.

I get sick at the drop of a hat. In fact I think I'm coming down with something now.

But with THAT much medicine, the cure's got to be worse than the disease!

*achoo*
 
damn medicine

I am on claritin... some other stuff for congestion and stuff. I am drinking Jim Black and coke with it and I read the side of the bottle and low and behold it says may cause dizziness. Much less with the damn Jim black. I need to learn to read before diving off into something. Anyway, hope you get well soon. Later.
 
Gotta cold too...

Enjoy the buzz, Jim. It should also be easy for you to get a great night's sleep. Feel better soon. (ahh choo... sorry!)
 
*back away from the lemonade* yes...that's it...back up. :)

*handing you a glass of water* Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate.

Hope you feel better soon.
 
Hey Jazz, does that stuff make you drowzy?

Cause I could sure use some right about now. Damn insomnia. :(
 
Feeling better?

Jim...
Did you sleep well? I have always found that any "-quil" package (day- or nighttime) would ultimately put me away for hours! Never had Mike's Hard Lemonade but hopefully the combination gave you a peaceful night's rest!

I'm still sniffling myself, but will wait until tonight to try and get "buzzed".

Mmm...last night, the only way that would have happened would have been, to paraphrase Charlton Heston, to pry it from my cold dead fingers. ;) To my credit, though, I only had two, then hit the iced tea, because I was damned thirsty most of the night!

I do feel a lot better, but still taking the meds. It does make me loopy, but still able to work. Oddly enough, LRC and Jenny, it didn't make me sleepy at all. It's a non-drowsy formula. If I want to get knocked out from cold meds I just do Ny-Quil. That's knockout juice for me. The Day-Quil is just the shit, though!
 
Jenny,

Ya got to try Mikes....very good stuff, goes down easy...started drinking it last summer, and it quickly became one of my favorite things do drink....perfect on a hot day, barbeque fired up.....ahhhh how many more days till summer in the northern hemisphere?

Glad you're able to be up and about, Jim. All those "-quils" affect me the same way, non-drowsy or not!

Now, regarding this Mikes... how is it sold? My local bar doesn't sell it (I've heard others order it though). Is it expensive? It does sound refreshing!
 
I buy it at the supermarket or local beer/soda distributor (sometimes called a package shop in other parts of the country), sold in 6 pack bottles mostly....

avg price for a six pack, probably $5-7, depending on the store, plus deposit...
 
Lovvvvvve the dayquil! I use it when I'm sick to make it through the nights at work. Its bad enough when you feel like shit all day, but seems like it always gets worse at night. And damn it all if that isn'twhen i have to go to work!!

When I'm home though I just adore the nyquil, I take it and I'm like in a coma. Which with two kids and a hubby, you gotta be in a coma to get some rest and feel better!

Hope you feel better soon jim, and let me pass on my grandma's cold remedy to ya for when you just want to head off to sleep.

some kind of container
3 shots whiskey (any kind)
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-two swigs as needed for cough and sleep-

LOL it actually worked, she sent me some after I had my daughter and I was sooooo sick with bronchitis. I slept like a baby, while the hubby took care of the little one!
 
Okay, I thought for sure this thread was going to be about time well spent on mushrooms.

DayQuil is the cocain of cold meds. Sure, you won't know where you are going or even how you got there, but you'll get there in a damn hurry!

I once hallucinated off of NyQuil... Well, it could have been partly because of the flu; all I know is, I saw COLORS!

You forgot the hot tea... That's a Hot Tottie without the tea. It really works better with hot tea. Try it with hot tea some time! :p

I was contemplating this, as a tea, with some honey and lemon. I have some Jack Daniels I could have used, but, given how loopy I was with the Mike's Hard Lemonade, I didn't want to chance it further.

And, by the by, if that's you in your av, what a little hottie you are! :)
 
gram probably told me to put it in tea come to think of it. lol But I like me tea iced, so I just made it in a mason jar and took a few swigs when i needed it. I'll have to try it in the hot tea next time! No wonder I slept so well, I didn't water it down at all:p

And yes..thats me in my AV...thank you!:)
