I'm sick

[Terwilliger]

:-(

some kind of cold...started with a bad throat thing and now I've got chills

[SOteric]

1. Disinfectant...?

[Terwilliger]

6. nahh, not tonight

been trying to get away from that actually

[xJlM]

2. Green tea

Good for your throat, and it has all kind of healthy nutrients as well.

[Terwilliger]

4. sounds good

I might have some

[ulysses]

34. echinacea tea

:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear it, Robbie.

[Maddy McCall]

3. I swear by Tylenol Flu at the onset of a cold...

usually knocks it out in a day or two. Can't explain why, though.

[Terwilliger]

8. thanks

I do my best to avoid medications

[HEyHEY]

5. You rub alchohol on a cut right?

So get some in your bloodstream to kill them germs!

[Terwilliger]

7. hmm

vodka and orange juice? damn! out of orange juice

[arcane1]

9. I'm sick of Bush too..

oh wait..

Get well soon ya pinko :hi:

[Terwilliger]

10. ya freakin' long-hair!

I'll be there tomorrow night I hope

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. I'm sorry Ter

Did I do it?

[Terwilliger]

15. no, but you can help

drive up with some soup

did you think I was going to say something else?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Yes I did

and I was gonna drive up too! Chicken Soup ok? Or are we vegetarian?

[Terwilliger]

21. chix is fine

er, chicken

central Berkeley...near the drum circle ;-)

[Scaramouche]

12. Grandma gave me...

A hot water infusion with fresh squeezed lemon, honey, and a dollop of rum. Then to bed in PJ's and extra blankets. Sweat the sucker out...

[Terwilliger]

16. rum!

i'll have to go the store

Im thinking shot of vodka with a little cran-ras follow up

[Scaramouche]

18. While that might be fun...

The cure is in causing a night of sweaty sheets...

Cranberry is good for bladder infections...

[redwitch]

33. my English grandmom swore by tea with lemon

and whiskey. She also made me toast and fluffed the bedpillows. Sigh. I still miss her every time I have a wretched cold. Feel better soon!

[Proletarian]

13. Get well soon!

If it gets worse, go see the doc! Peace.

[grasswire]

14. two things

1. gargle with warm salt water immediately and do it again in a couple of hours

2. disinfect your toothbruth with boiling water daily until this is gone. If you don't you just reinfect yourself.

[Terwilliger]

17. THAT I did

made my throat much better today....but this cold is kicking in

thanks for the other :hi:

[nomaco-10]

19. Terwilliger, you must have hot tea and

chicken noodle soup (Campbell's will do) and a sympathetic person to wipe your brow and bring you a cold hand towel to press upon your hot brow. Vick's vapor rub has no therapeutic value whatsoever, but will make you feel like you feel better whilst you suffer. Take care and drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. PEACE, Nona

[Terwilliger]

22. oooo vicks

its been years

I'm trying my vodka/cannabis concoction...keeping me sane for now ;-)

[nomaco-10]

23. Yes, vodka and oj, my personal panacea...

for just about anything. I used to drink Stoli, but now I'm reduced to drinking Popov, the bush* economy, don't you know!

[Terwilliger]

24. Popov?

I've got the cheap stuff

but, hey! that and a small bowl and I'm l33t

[catzies]

35. Just in case you're contagious

I'm going to apply your concoction right now. LIBERALLY. :P

Get well soon.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. I'm so sorry; I've been there!

I wish I could bring you chicken broth with noodles and tea with lemon and honey. Drink lots of liquids, get plenty of vitamin C and get lots of sleep. I hope you are feeing better soon!:-)

[Terwilliger]

26. :-D

:D

I feel better already :-)

[Rhiannon12866]

27. I'm so very glad!

I just wish I could make you the chicken soup! With tiny noodles. I made it for my friend who had pneumonia this time last year and she's alive to tell the tale!:-)

I hope you feel better soon...:hi:

[Pobeka]

28. The cognac cure

This doesn't take much, about 1/4 of a shot of cognac -- tip your head back, take a sip, let it drizzle down the back of your throat. Helps it feel better and kills bacteria.

Seems to help a lot to ward off a serious sore throat when you catch that first little bit of soreness...

[blm]

29. T-willy...sorry to hear that.

Do you have kids in school?

They are notoriously germy.

[JohnKleeb]

30. hope you will be ok

[Rhiannon12866]

31. How are you feeling, Terwilliger?

Hope all that virtual chicken soup and cognac helped!:-)

[Terwilliger]

37. hey!

thanks for asking...I'm still in the final stages, I think, but I'm doing well :)

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Keep it up with the fruit juice. A vitamin C supplement might protect

you from future colds. Also, I have found tea with honey and lemon quite soothing for a sore throat. I'd make this for you if I could!:-)

[Darranar]

32. Hope you feel better soon, Terwilliger!

[cosmicdot]

36. are you better?

[Terwilliger]

38. better than I was

thank you :-)

[ulysses]

39. it's the prayer.

:evilgrin:

[Terwilliger]

44. I prayed for pot and alcohol

is that acceptable?

[cosmicdot]

40. that's good to hear

hope you have the vittles you need to care for yourself

[JanMichael]

41. Brew up some Cat Whiskers and Toad Toes.

If that doesn't work consult some tea leaves and call Nostradamus in the morning.

Also, remember this, every flu of "bug" eventually goes away, unless it kills you.

Cheers:-)

[Patriot_Spear]

42. Well, I think you're flame-baiting, Goddam troll...

...but I hope you feel better.

Try a hot toddy- hot whiskey, honey and lemon.

[Darth_Kitten]

43. Plenty of fluids, rest.....

and Oil of Oregano. ;)

[grasswire]

46. I think I'll go sniff my jar of Vicks....

....just for nostalgia purposes and in anticipation of winter's colds. Little blue jar, sooothing smell, grease up your chest and neck and put on flannel PJs.

I find those little sniffer tubes of Vicks excellent at keeping the nasal passages clear in the winter, too. I keep one in my coat pocket.

[Rhiannon12866]

47. I know, grasswire! Doesn't it take you back?!

Smells are the most evocative for memories, good or bad. I think that Vicks is a good one for all of us, despite the fact that we were all probably quite sick when we first smelled it! I love those tubes, also! LOL! :D
