Shameless attention thread

[lizziegrace]

I've got a terrible cold. I'd like to blame GOPisEvil, but he's a little too far away to make that allegation stick. :(

I'm going to the store for nyquil and chicken soup.

[photogirl12]

1. Hope you feel better!! n/t

[Shine]

2. Awww, sweetie...hope you're feeling better soon.

sounds like you're getting the needed supplies...the next most important thing to do is SLEEP.

:hug:

3. Nothing shameful about putting the wonderful Lizziegrace on a pedestal

And worshiping her like the goddess she is :)

[Catshrink]

4. Feel better, lizziegrace

What's the best thing for a NyQuil hangover? A hot toddy - skip the lemon and honey, tea optional.

[Shell Beau]

5. Awwww!!! I had the crud last week!

:hug:

;)

[GOPisEvil]

6. I hope you feel better soon.

I recommend Progreso for canned chicken soup. :9

[lizziegrace]

9. Funny...

That's what I bought. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

15. Better veggies, chicken and noodles.

Smart woman. ;)

[lizziegrace]

18. It's the Greek

:)

I am supposed to go to a potluck on Sunday. Mediterranean-themed. I was going to make dolmadas. I hope I feel up to going.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Oh, you definitely have to feel better by then.

If not, have some Ouzo. That stuff will kill whatever is making you sick. :scared:

[Haole Girl]

7. Grape juice and grits work well too..when you're sick.

I hope I didn't just start a flame war or anything. :scared:

[Redstone]

13. Grape juice and grits??? As they say in the movies: "You know, it's so crazy

that it just might work.

14. Ewwwwww

Just...ewwwwwww. ewwwwwewwwwwewwwwwwewwwwwwwwwww....

:scared:

[Haole Girl]

23. Not together!!

Just some warm grits....and grape juice as a separate beverage!

That's not icky! :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

24. No...not really.

Except I never could acquire a taste for grits...and, not to sound too indelicate...when my kids are sick, I try avoid feeding them any food or beverage that doesn't wash out.

:eyes:

[Haole Girl]

25. Well, not to sound too indelicate, too...

...I never have that problem when I'm sick! :-)

[reyd reid reed]

29. I rarely do either....

My little monst...errrrrr -- children, on the other hand...

:eyes:

8. I feel for you

I don't have a cold, but I *have* had an awful stomach bug for the past few days. Spent the night before last in the hospital on IV fluids for dehydration, it was so bad.

Here's hoping you feel much better soon!

[lizziegrace]

10. Poor thing!

I'll take a cold any day.

:hug:

Are you better now?

[Lyric]

19. Yes, feeling better--thank you :)

If you don't do this already--consider using a lot of minced fresh garlic in your chicken soup. Or even the wet minced stuff in a jar. Garlic is GREAT for the immune system.

And tons of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). I know there's technically no "proof" that it works against the cold virus, but I can testify (as the Mom of a 6 year old who brings home every evil cold germ going around the school) that by eating lots of garlic chicken soup and popping chewable Vitamin C tablets like candy, I avoid most colds--and the one or two that I *do* get are mild and go away after a day or two. :)

[lizziegrace]

21. Thanks for the reminder

I need to get the Vitamin C out. (I've been a slacker. :( )

[Redstone]

11. Don't forget the Jack Daniel's!

[lizziegrace]

16. I don't have any JD

I might have some Bailey's...

:)

[Redstone]

26. But that's the cure! You fill a water glass half full with JD, then fill the rest with

orange juice, and drink it all at once. The OJ provides vitamin C, and the JD makes you sleep for 12 hours. And sleep is, after all, the ultimate medicine.

Go to bed, m'dear, and sleep well and long. Feel better.
