Every one of the cold "remedies" I have in the house have side effects, outside of the fact that they don't even really work at what they're supposed to do. So I have an excruciating sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes and can't sleep and am thirsty. So I tried Theraflu this afternoon (just noticed it on the shelf), hoping for some relief and wound up sleeping on and off through "Miracle on 34th Street." Luckily, AMC is playing this movie for 24 hours so I got to catch up on the parts I slept through.
I never used to pay attention to "warning labels" but now I do, so the only thing that can get me through one of these hideous sieges, i.e., booze, I look at and think "you'll need a liver transplant. You're not Micky Mantle. You won't go to the head of the class. You will die of liver failure."
Lest this sounds too depressing, I'm Jewish so being alone on Christmas doesn't bother me too much. I guess I can always convert so I can feel worse.

As your punishment for posting to this thread...instead of the original...I'm not going to close the "bold tag!"
You see! I mean it!
LOL. I'm single but with kids so I don't get to be alone for Christmas, I get to buy my own presents so I don't need to worry it won't be something I didn't want or that the other person didn't want.
