I'm sick today

Anybody else just laying around today? I have a cold/flu or something. *cough*

I've been in the same spot for hours, now.
I'm starting to grow moss.

*wheez*

You know, Kurt, that could very well be the right answer to any post here.

Any topic...

Maybe I'll try it.

As kids, we used to get this heated up when we had a cold. Wow does this bring back great memories growing up in rural CT.

Bourbon works too.

I used to get this sometimes when I was sick in my younger days, but with less booze.

It would usually break the fever and cause me to perspire profusely . . . and I felt a lot better after I woke up.

Best,

Kurt

Add a bit of hot water to that mix too. It'll help open up your sinuses.

If that don't work, throw some 'Tussin at it. 'Tussin'll cure anything.

Well, I've been retired since 1996 and like a fool agreed to move up here to the frozen tunda (from the Greensboro, NC area) so with the golf courses closed and the motorcycles and 911's in storage.....I am really, really good at laying around here lately!

What you need is some good ol´fluffin!

We have the worst epidemic of gastroenteritis I have experienced the last ten years among the little toddlers here. The pediatric ER and all the wards are filled with kids throwing up.

I have, however, the perfect recipe for not catching the bugs. It is called 'Gammel Dansk' and is a traditional Danish hard liquor. Guaranteed to drive all the bugs away.

When I'm sick in bed with the flu my wife is always amazed that I'm still interested in having sex. I might not have the strength to carry it through but, I'm still up for tryin.

Livi's got the right idea, take his advise, he's a doctor...

RE: booze and being sick... IMHO it makes you feel better in the sort term but weakens your immune system and you stay sick longer.

That is my unscientific uneducated opinion, perhaps the doctors here could confirm or deny.

However I have done extensive research on my own if you know what I mean.
