I realize this is not a unique statement.
I hate being sick!! I caught a stupid cold and I feel too shitty and tired to do anything but too shitty and not tired enough to sleep.
*whine*
It’s really not that bad but it’s all to easy to wimper and whine when I don’t feel good. That and we have that crappy, all day, drizzle shit going on here today. Yucky!

Yucky! Blah!
Seems like there is some sort of plague going around… I’m a big fan of the theraflu, it just knocks you out!
Are you sick too or just those around you? I’m taking Tylenol cold and lots of Gatoraid (sp).
“Crappy, all-day drizzle shit,” I bid you, BEGONE! (Let me know if that actually worked …)
I wish I could send you some homemade chicken soup — it tends to slop in the snail mail, and makes a very poor attachment for e-mail — which is an I-don’t-feel-good specialty at my house, and one I probably need to make when I get back there, since my husband has apparently caught the same cold you have.
Since I can’t, I’ll recommend either NyQuil or one of its generic variants, or chai tea with milk, honey and single-malt Scotch. Either you’ll conk out, or you won’t care!
I think the weather is just being obstinate.
I would love some homemade chicken soup. (I can’t eat that canned stuff)
Some Scotch before bed would be great as well.
Everyone around me is sick, and some people I know in SF, and even a person or two in Nashville.
I recommended mint tea to a friend of mine, and she said it worked quite well (and she’s in MN too, so if it’s a weather thing, maybe it will fix that). And crack open a can of Campbell’s (condensed) chicken soup with rice – that’s another “fix what ails you” thing for me… and if you can get yourself some really excellent banana bread too, do it! Then sit with your tea and soup and banana bread and alternate watching good anime with reading a good book and napping.
Hey presto! Feel better ::smile::
Thanks Dude.
No problem! Hope it helps ::wink::
My problem with getting sick is that it mutates from there if I’m not careful.
I could go from standard cold to either tonsilitis or ear infection…
I was told once to chop up a pineapple and eat all of it (well, not the leaves or the outer husk… just the fruity part)
I’ve tried it before and its not a miracle cure, but I do feel better afterwards…
I think there’s a lot of vitamin C in pineapples, also lots of water (another good thing).
They also taste real yummy too!
Zinc lozenges (you can get them at a GNC store) coupled with vitamin C do a great job of accelerating the symptoms so you suffer for fewer days.

What, do all of the cartoonists in the world all live in one house? It’s like your all always sick at the same time, like kindergarteners.
Anyway, Ramdragon’s 100%(well, maybe 62%) garanteed cold cure: one half gallon of orangejuice (the real stuff not from concentrate and pulpy if you can take it) and two to three shots of REAL Nyquil. The imitation crap never works. Drink the OJ all day but finish it before bed with the Nyquil. 2-days and you’re done with cold-vill
Some days I feel like a kindergartener more than others.
Thanks for the advice, I’m definitely still downing the orange juice.
