Ok, who here besides me........

[La Huesera]

Has a cold from hell. What are you doing for it. I am fixing to take some Nyquil and hit the bed. Hubby fixed me home made chicken soup for supper... should be feeling better in the morning.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Hot buttered rum is every bit as effective as that sissy NyQuil Lite stuff, but tastes much better. Try it, you'll like it.

 

[La Huesera]

How do you make it? Rum..and butter..heat?

 

[Monazwx]

Is this a good combo.?
Sick and drunk?

[LukkyKnight]

Boil some water.

Yes, REALLY.

Put a tablespoon of brown sugar in the bottom of a glass or mug. Fill it most of the way with the boiling water. Dump in a shot of rum. Float a slice of butter on top (it will melt quickly, of course) then sprinkle on a bit of nutmeg. Hold it in your hands to warm up until it cools down enough to drink. Warm up drinking it.

 

[Ezarc]

Flu, here. Water and sleep.

Is sick and feeling all your pain a BETTER combo?

I use honey instead of brown sugar, but it does help.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

I just got over the worst part of an autumn cold a couple of days ago. It had hold of me for about a week. Mostly, I took daytime cold medicine as directed and drank Echinacea Tea. The aroma of the tea brewing did wonders for clearing up my stuffy head and the honey I put in it made me feel absolutely scrumptuous.

At night, I bundled up, snuggled into bed, took my cold medicine and slept as best I could. The worst part of every day was, no surprise, first thing in the morning. Then again, tha's always the worst part of the day for me.

LK, Wouldn't a hangover be worse in the long run?

*Am I being stalked?*

A hangover would be unfortunate indeed, Mona, so I advocate stopping after two unless you have a demonstrated tolerance for such things.

Now, who might be stalking you? Shall I draw my trusty pig sticker and run somebody through in defense of your honour?

 

[ksmybuttons]

Has anyone tried Zicam Nasal Gel/spray? I was thinking about getting some to have on hand for the next cold...

When you have a child, there is always a next cold...

yes, the nipples in your av have entranced me.

 

[La Huesera]

I have been drinking green tea and taking Echinacea pills.(do those things help at all?) I don't have any rum, but I have vodka..can I use that?

Whoa, I suppose you "can" but your mileage may vary and it voids the warranty.

 

[freakygirl]

I have had an ear infection from hell for about 3 months. Nothing is getting rid of it. And I refuse to take any antibiotics.

My daughter also has one... so we are on the same regimine. Ibuprofen and a decongestant. Hopefully it clears up soon.

at this point I feel as like my odometer has flipped over...my tires are flat... and I need a paint job. Don't think it could make me feel worse.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Paint job.

Start with the toenails. Let me know if you need help - I also unflip odometers.

 

[La Huesera]

I can use all the help I can get with the paint job. But first, can you see whats making that *tick tick tick* sound under my hood?

 

[LukkyKnight]

rut roh.

 

[La Huesera]

mayhaps I need my oil check..whos got a dipstick?

 

[LukkyKnight]

Indeed, proper lubrication is crucial.
