Quarantine

Blogging will be heavily medicated for the next day or so. Meet "Rhinovirus"...

... the little bastard that's putting the boots to my immune system. I even had to take the day off work today, something I never ever do. I will drag my ass in to work no matter what, just to make the effort to at least show up. (Then they can send me home.) But not today.

Any cold remedies, please leave them in the comments. I am desperate.

I can has cold remedies?

Sidelined! Bitten big and bitten good, I've got what's morphed into Coldzilla, thus the light blogging this week. My head feels like a snot factory being clamped together with a table vice and when I can speak at all I sound like the Godfather. But you can Help.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to advise me of your best personal experience with a cold remedy, any cold remedy, be it pharmaceutically mass-produced, or preferably, whipped up in a single batch in Mom's kitchen. I used to have a great one made up of a potpourri of stuff like tea, lemon, honey, licorice root, dong quai, garlic clove and a bunch of other top secret ingredients -- I can't remember exactly -- I do remember that it tasted like shit on a stick, and it worked.

Any suggestions?
