All this talk of spicy food and alcohal. Maybe I\'ll go get a plate of spicey hot mexican food and some tequilla and stuff myself.

Then I\'ll sleep for a week.

That should do it :drunk:

its more cuban-infusion than spicy mexican.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken

>>Jerk Chicken Recipe<<


There\'s a local greasy spoon (Chino Bandito) that serves mexican/cuban/jamaican/chinese/german food. Mmmm-mmm!! My fav is always jerk chicken and chili relleno with Cuban black beans, chicken fried rice and a snickerdoodle as dessert.

Get a large jug full of hot honey and lemon. Add alcohol or fresh ginger as preferred. Take it to bed with you and stay there for a day, drinking the \"medicine\" and issuing imperious commands to your family, who should now spend a little time running around after *you*! :D

have to second the hot food thang. Anytime I feel the slightest stuffiness coming on I eat hot stuff till I sweat and it goes away.

Of course, I haven\'t had a cold in over 3 years now... since I started drinking green tea. I drink probably about 1/2 gallon on my days off. Hot or cold, dosen\'t matter.

About the best I\'d get out of my family is my son saying, \"Maybe we should order out. Mom is sleeping.\" To which Mr C would say, \"Just get her up and dressed we\'re just running to the store. She can\'t complain about that!\"

<sigh> I\'ll be better soon. I hope.

Shower soothers are great. Put one on the shower drain and stand under the hot water until it is gone. (the shower soother, not the drain)

Rum, tea and honey work (things go better with rum) at night. You don\'t care if you\'ve got a cold (time flies when you\'re having rum).

Dayquil gets me through the day at work. Maybe add a motrin.

okay, so maybe I\'m over doing it, but here\'s my solution.

1. Set up a humidifier with some vicks in it (they make ones with special cups for the special vicks humidifier liquid)

2. Take a hot shower with one of those shower soothers...you\'ll smell like menthol but the good news is you might be able to smell.

3. Order chinese delivery with lots of hot chinese mustard. It goes best on egg rolls and bbq pork. It hurts, and you\'ll sweat and cry, but it\'s soooo good!

4. Eat your dinner on the couch while you drink a beer (or two) and watch your favorite lazy time movie.

5. Go to bed.

6. Call in sick tomorrow and tell the family that they can fend for themselves...keep a cattle prod handy so you can \"bite\" anybody who gets too close to you without your permission. Repeat steps 1-5.

That\'s what I do!

All that other stuff mentioned really does work great, just different strokes for different folks. And get rid of some of that stress in your life. You are dealing with a double portion, and it\'s cut down your immune system. It isn\'t selfish to take care of yourself now and then.

Get better chickie, you know we love ya\'!

What I really want to do is run away to a foreign country where no one knows me and hide for about 6 months untill I can actually think again. Anyone got a winning lotto ticket they don\'t want? :D
