It's 4:00 in the morning, the end of December, I'm writing you now

[zanne]

Just to see if you're better... I thing I'm dying. I have a bad cold and a fever of 101. I'm freezing and my throat hurts. One of my cats jumped up on the kitchen table and I couldn't even yell at her. I haven't had a cold in over ten years and I'm convinced that this one is fatal. I managed to make some coffee for myself to warm myself up, but it hurts to swallow. How do people survive colds?

1. If I don't make it.....

Please have my body donated to science.

[Lasher]

2. Make sure you get fluids & vitamin C

Gotta run its course. Sorry. And it's not December yet.

[Lady Freedom]

3. Uh... It's November.

And try tea instead. Peppermint helps with a stuffy head. Honey and lemon helps throats.

5. I was quoting a Leonard Cohen song....

It's called "Famous Blue Raincoat".

[zanne]

6. Famous Blue Raincoat seems fitting this morning. Here it is....

4. If you can stand it

take 4500 mg. garlic OIL in the am and again in the pm. You may smell like a pizza but that cure what ails you in no time. I had bronchial problems every year about this time until I started taking preventative garlic (1500 mg) on a daily basis, starting in October. I have been respiratory ailment free for about 15 years now.

Also, your Vit C and Echineacia Plus tea from Celestial Seasonings. Get better soon :hug:

7. Best Cohen song ever.

8. Then go out and get yourself some gojiberry juice.

Start drinking a couple of tablespoons every morning for the rest of your life.

[zanne]

9. WTH is gojiberry juice? nt

[MrCoffee]

10. this song heavily influenced the naming of my daughter.

she came by with a lock of your hair. said that you gave it to her, the night that you planned to get clear.

[BarenakedLady]

11. I think I have the same thing.

It sucks.

I'm pretty sure we will both survive. :D

[redqueen]

12. God I love that song.

Sorry you're not feeling well.

Remember - this, too, shall pass. :hug:
