All quiet on the western front
I have been busy with the usual chores, and haven’t had much opportunity to sit at the keyboard. I’ve acquired a stubborn cold, which isn’t helping matters. I hope to be able to take some time to catch up with some blog visiting soon.

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

I took Airborne when I first felt the symptoms of a cold coming on. I think it helped, although it may have just postponed the inevitable. I hope you are feeling much better soon.

Whew…I read your post wrong to start off. I thought it said you acquired a stubborn child. Glad it’s just a cold. Get well soon — stay warm. :::sending healing vibes:::

Healing prayers from me too. Elderberry juice or tablets NOW. I had to put in my two cents but it helps with cold and viruses. Shortens their life if you’ve already got a cold and helps prevent new ones. Okay…I’ll stop. Psst..elderberry.

Wow, Martha really puts a cold into perspective!
I was going to say I use Zircon, but I think that’s a gem stone, not a cold remedy. Anyway, the one that begins with *Z* is what I use the moment I feel a cold coming on.

Pssst, Montannie…the one that begins with *Z* - it’s zinc.

Thanks for all the thoughts, vibes, prayers & hints. I’m still congested, but I’ll live.
Todd - I’m almost back to “normal”.
Rest is elusive. Sleep has been, too.
Laurie - I’ve never tried airborne. I’ll add that to the list of provisions!
Oh no, Martha - a stubborn child - that’d scare me right out of the cold.
Niki - I’ll have to find some - does elderberry wine help?
Montannie, UM - Zicam - they have formulas for colds & allergies. . .

I have not seen hot buttered rum mentioned yet?(warning: do not operate heavy machinery after injesting)

Elderberry wine helps everything!

Yep I’m almost sure elderberry wine would help. Heck I think wine helps…you can always feel better about it being medicinal if you have red. I’ve heard hot lemon juice with brandy is good for just about any ailment.

May I suggest copius amounts of ouzo? Just kidding!!! I’m not that Greek.
I prefer vodka. However if I had anything other than cats to feed (such as cattle) I’d be in trouble.

Hey Karen - I got a bottle of RUM that will take care of that for you

Linda - I’m almost famous for my hot buttered rum (or rumless). Heavy machinery? Who me?
I’ll have try that Bonnie.
Niki - Now, I’m trying echinacea & emergen C.
Mad Greek - oh no - ouzo!
Okay, Mike!
