Two products that I use are the new shower soothers. There is nothing like standing in hot steam while menthol vapors strong enough to peel wallpaper waft around you. And a box of Celestial Seasonings "Cold Care Tea"

My wife swears by both of those.

[Zacs Mom]

Maybe we should get together ~ we could have the pity party of the year!!

After a week or so of not quite feeling up to snuff, mine mega-cold hit me lat night like a load of bricks! It literally knocked me off my feet!! My head is stuffed up, yet my nose is running and is now a bright shade of crimson from being blown about a million times in the past 12 hours.

Last night I was so miserable I actually rubbed Vicks Vapor Rum on chest before I went to sleep! I guess It work too 'cause I did manage to get about 4 hours of sleep.......

Coldeze losenges, works like a charm, but suffer if you want.

[tet68]

I have a friend who swears that if you EAT a teaspoon of Vicks, it will cure you. I haven't been that desperate yet.

[Zacs Mom]

rotl ......... my MOM used to say the same thing!!! Yuck!

[Dallas59]

WHATTTT???? Oh gawd...It's worse than I thought....*SNEEZE!*

My Last Will and Testament

I, Dallas59......

[SoDak]

I'm flying to Dallas in a couple of hours, don't sneeze on me.

[SoDak]

I'm flying to Dallas in a couple of hours, don't sneeze on me.

[Dallas59]

*sniff*..Ok...Don't fly over Central and Royal..

[SoDak]

No idea at all where that's at. All I know is that I need to find the Exectutive Inn in Corsicana.

Oh gawd...It's worse than I thought....*SNEEZE!* My Last Will and Testament I, Dallas59...

I've told my wife that I want my epitaph to be

"See, I told you I didn't feel so hot..."

[Dallas59]

I'm too weak to continue...but that's alright...here's a link..

Executive Inn Corsicana

*sniff*...Light...is fading..

My husband developed a bad cold a few days before thanksgiving but it turned into pneumonia. We spent the holidays in the hospital. He's still not over it but feeling better. He had no predisposing factors to get pneumonia, no smoking, drinking, etc.

Symptoms were: all over severe body pain, fever of 103, vomiting, pain on one side of his chest.

[SoDak]

Thanks...you get better now. Take a C and sleep. A quick shot of the ol' creature couldn't hurt either.

Well, since this is the official thread, I guess you'll be needing this...

Ode to Lung-Butter

(-Cough-) Lung-butter, my lament,
I must hope not Heaven-sent.
Hackers all, when this we find,
As evidence of daily grind.

That’s where germs exist, you know,
Not out in the pristine snow,
Or on the beaches, in the Sun,
But where we go to get work done.

Work is a word phlegmatic spat,
But clearly where the germs are at.
We start out healthy, when we rise,
To greet the world with shining eyes,

And then to work we make our way,
To find our “Buddy” there that day,
Who doesn’t wish to waste sick leave,
Not while his nose can find his sleeve.


Bio-weapons may be rare,
But one can find them in the air.
One finds in his proximity,
A walking weapons factory.

So thus it is on our way home,
We find our lungs may seek to roam,
Our head stuffed up like ripened plum,
And where is all that pudding from?

Just put a sign up where you work,
“If you get sick, don’t be a Jerk!
Please keep your butt home in your bed,
You won’t get paid if you end up dead!”

Vicks Vapor Rum

New product? Do share where you can get? Is it external use only? /sarc

[SweetCaroline]

When I read you post last night before I went to bed, I felt bad for you, but I wake up this morning and guess what?

NOW I GOT YOUR &&^$#$ COLD.

Thanks for sneezing on the monitor!

....i'm going back to bed...sniff sniff

[SweetCaroline]

*sniff*.....*SNEEZE!*
....step away from the monitor when you do that!

[Zacs Mom]

Don't be so mean ... I said I have a really nasty cold and my head is all stuffy, so I can't help it if when I try to say Vicks Vapor Rub it sounds like I'm saying Vicks Vapor Rum!!
