I haven't watched it, but let me guess: when people can't support themselves in old age due to giving everything to the cult, don't call on the cult for help, call on their children.

Yes, Teresa, you will regret that beard years later.
Just say no to steroids, ladies.

So sorry to hear of this.
There's a really helpless feeling when you face a natural disaster. We've faced several hurricanes and it's terrifying as you watch it barrel down on you and there's nothing you can do but flee...and then wait it out.
My condolences on losing a pet. They are members of the family and heartbreaking to lose.
My kind thoughts are with all affected.

Nonjwspouse, okay, I understand the local honey thing now. It's because the bees are making the honey from the local flora and that is what you're allergic to?
Mini allergy shots, that is funny!

Yes, Safe, it seems I'm going to survive...miss a few days of work, hack into a few pillowcases, ignore the housework, but, yes, I will survive to make another mortgage payment!
My husband just juiced some fresh fruits and vegetables, so I'm drinking this disgusting looking green slop, but it actually tastes very good and I'm sure it's full of good vitamins as well as hydrating me.

Just fine, I'm going to look for some Braggs next time I'm at the grocery store. I actually love vinegar, anyhow; on french fries, in potato salad, in red beet soup, on greens, etc.
Definitely in the vinegar camp in the vinegar vs. ketchup debate for french fries.
Mmm, I can just taste those boardwalk fries right now...

So I went to the doctor today and I was running a low fever. She tested for the flu with that awful nasal swab and it was negative and my breathing was normal, no asthma symptoms.
So, the diagnosis is a viral infection. I'm taking Mucinex Fast-Max which is over the counter and has a fever reducer, cough supressant, and decongestant all in one.
She did call in a script for an antibiotic to the pharmacy, but dated it for Friday, so if I don't feel better by then, I have something for the weekend. Yes, Listener, I was going to ask, but she offered. I really like her.
I did not buy Vicks for my feet, though I have heard of that. It just seems weird, but, hey, if it works for you, millie...
Just fine, where do you get Bragg's apple cidar vinegar? Is it more potent than the regular stuff? I keep hearing about it.
Shirley, I have Costco honey. It does seem to soothe my throat a little bit, but no miracles. Honey has gotten very expensive lately. I'll look for farmer's market honey, but don't know if I'll be able to afford it.
Doofdaddy, I have been thinking about getting a neti pot, but I fear that I might feel like I'm drowning. Not sure about my skills.
Thanks everyone for the good advice. I'm going to take a nap now and let my body do its thing and kick this virus. Goodnight!

Yes, the plants appreciate the rain, but go away already!
It's rained for two weeks now. If I wanted this much rain, I'd move to England!
Where's the warm sun that teased us a month ago? Please come back!

Thanks, Safe. I don't even usually have very bad allergies, but this year it seems like every night on TV they post another record pollen count.
No fever or body aches, but the heavy chest worries me. Sometimes I can't tell whether it's asthma or congestion.
I made a mistake last time I had these symptoms by taking Sudafed tablets when it was actually my asthma. And, then my heart rate was so fast that they couldn't give me a breathing treatment because that would've raised it to dangerous levels.
But, I'm not wheezing, so I'm going to let the doctor figure it out tomorrow. It's only a $20 copay, but, yes, I do appreciate the free advice, too!
I've already been doing double pillows, but they're getting flat, so maybe I should triple them.
