No cure for this


The common cold.
According to this story, an old Farmer's Almanac says the early Colonists stuffed pared-down orange slices into their nostrils.
We at the Spin Cycle have not had the annual cold yet, knock on wood; but we know plenty-o-people who have been sick, or are sick. Pork Chop, for instance, complained of a hacking cough today.
This report says to load up on a big-calorie breakfast and not go hungry, especially in the mornings. What else? Green tea.
What works for you? What doesn't?

Hmmm Jason tried ColdEEz with his last cold and said it seemed to help. Not conclusive, but he did seem less puny :)

Annual flu shots

Mom had a flu shot, but she's had some kind of stupid cold off and on since Thannksgiving. It's not funny, but she does bark like a seal when she coughs and that is funny.
This week she discovered a mix of Zicam and Mucenex DM, supplemented by tangerines, hot tea and water.
She's hacking less, but she's constantly in the bathroom.
