I'm going to bed early because my throat is swelling as I type. I've been lucky enough to dodge the creeping crud that everyone has had at least twice in my house. My luck has run out, I'm afraid.
I wish my Gram was around to give me her home remedy of honey, lemon juice and straight up whiskey. I used to pretend to be sick just to get a little of the hooch. *cough*

Oh no!!! BUMMER! It's that damn Zap Zone and being trapped inside that germ filled unlit room with the rugrats! :(
Hope you don't get TOO sick.
My mother in law insists on forcing a concoction made from honey and vinegar on cold sufferers. She insists it works, but I reckon everyone just tells her it does so that she won't make them drink any more of it.
It's the honey.... I read up on it.. Okay, My girlfriend read up on it and told me... it's the honey that work... but the whiskey ain't bad neither....
My Mom swears by a cup of herbal tea with two menthol cough drops melted in it. It's hard to admit, but it works! I hope you feel better!
LMAO @ you fooling grandma for some of the hooch! too funny! rest up and feel better sweetie.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
I can remember my mom's home remedy. It was: she took a towel spread vicks on it wet it then put into oven to heat up then slap that sucker on my chest! I do believe I'd rather have yours!
Some swear by heroin. Hope you feel better.
Make sure the whiskey is amber or gold in color, smooth and warming. Good scotch is often smoother than bourbon, unless you're shelling out major bucks for something like Crown Royal. If you can find honey from a beehive very near your house, it may help to speed your recovery and even stave off major seasonal allergy symptoms when the time comes. I didn't believe it until I tried it. It has something to do with the honey's natural ability to speed healing from the contaminants closest to home. Feel better soon, Darlin'.
oh, sign gurl, i am so sorry you are sick! i hope you feel better!
I'll take some of that medicine too. but you can leave out the lemon juice and honey. ;)
Get well soon, sweetie!
my mom use to make that concoction for us when we were kids. cept i dont recall whiskey, but that could explain my mothers drinking problem too...and why we never had any.

Ouch! I hope you get well soon. I'm literally the only one I know who hasn't come down sick this season. I'm sure it's just a matter of time...
