When I have a cold, I have a 4-octave vocal range

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I just sang from F2 to F6. It wasn't pretty; but all the notes were there.

God I feel like shit. :-(

1. if that is in Iron Maiden singing range and I were you,

I would get a cold ALL THE TIME.

2. My voice has all the appeal of an iron maiden right now.

:rofl:

6. so, I've been wanting to start a rock/hard rock/metal band, you in?

Or if not, could I date you?

4. Hope you feel better soon!

Tea with honey might help. :hug:

8. Ooo... I almost forgot about this great stuff I have!

Ginger lemonade...add a little water and a little honey, and heat it up, and it penetrates deep in your chest.

Thanks for reminding me! :hi:

9. Mmmm, sounds good!

:hi:

5. Niiiice.....

:hug: Some hot herbal tea with honey? Neti pot? Hope you feel better soon...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I've been thinking about getting a neti pot...

My nasal passages get so dry and irritated in winter. Neti pots use an oil, don't they?

[LynzM]

12. Not necessarily

That's the one we have. You add just under a tsp. of salt (give or take to suit your preference) and there are oils you can buy, such as: http://www.internatural-alternative-health.com/ingr/ingr251133.cfm

During the winter, I use it at least every other day when I'm feeling healthy, at least daily if I feel a cold coming on, and twice daily when I have a cold. It severely lessens the severity of my colds, and lessens the frequency I have them. Since I'm diabetic and prone to catching them, that's a huge blessing.

I'll admit to it being a bit strange to get used to, but wonderful and not too weird (although sometimes gross) once you get used to it. :thumbsup:

And a :hug:, too!

13. Thanks for the info!
