...cause I'm pretty sure I'm about to kill myself.

oh to breathe again...just once more...if only.

tell me why, i blow my nose and almost immediately its snotville all over again....why?

and this cough....god dammit my toilet is less a toilet and more a mucus receptacle. gross, eh?

oh, thank you nyquil for helping me trip balls at night. last night i was flipping back and forth between Saving Private Ryan and Wizard of Oz...my dreams/hallucinations were interesting to say the least.

speaking of nyquil...g'night healthy folks.
Jam out with your clam out.

    Sounds like you got a good one that's going around. :( Hope you feel better soon! :)

    Too. Much. Detail.

    Hork one up for me...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I was going to ask if you have 'man flu'!

    Seriously though, it does make you feel miserable but eat a good meal and get plenty of fresh air and sleep.

    Not sure if you can die from a cold...don't mean you can't feel like you are though.
    Plenty of fluids and lots of rest should help.

    Hope you feel better soon..

    I got rid of my cold in the space of 3 days. I took 3 times the amount of Vitamin c and zinc tablets spaced out through the day, drank loads of orange juice, which I find is really good for getting rid of phlegm. Lots of hot water with lemon juice and honey in it. Sweet potato soup (just boiled up sweet potatoes, an onion and a couple of cloves of garlic. Garlic is really good for killing infections, you'll stink afterwards becasue the garlic comes out of your pores, so maybe save it til the weekend! Avoid dairy products, they make you produce more phlegm. Also try to avoid sugar - the idea here is to boost your immune system. Good luck!

    yes you can!!!!!!

    I knew this guy who was reaching for Lemsip and as he was reaching a sword fell out of the medicine cabinet and went through his eye.

    p.s. he was allergic to Lemsip so he'd have died anyway

    if it turns into an infection that goes untreated

    Answer: Soup.
    ...
    Lots and lots of hot soup. Breaks up the sinuses... easier to clear... easier to breathe.
    ...
    And water... lot and lots of water. Hot water... like tea. Liquids to flush your system... the same way we used to flush our radiators on our cars to get the sludge out. Same principle.
    ...
    Here's my recipe:
    Hot Tea... Lemon (to scrape the throat)... honey (to coat the throat and keep the lemon citric acid on the throat)... shot of whiskey (to help you sleep... and just for the hell of it).
    Sip... breathe in the steam... watch a lot of T.V.... warm, comfortable clothing... stay indoors (we don't want your germs in our systems).

    YES

    Correct! If what you're coughing up or blowing out of your nose is anything but clear (e.g., green or brown), then you have an infection and need antibiotics. Bad bronchitis/pharingytis/sunisitis can easily go the way of pneumonia, which can ultimately drown you if not treated.

    If not, then just take Cosmo's advice. :D

    I didn't realise you are a man. Sorry! You seem too kind. ;)

    I think men generally have a bigger body mass, therefore they have a bigger mass of cold. :confused::D

    pneumonia is also very painful
    caught that once after fishing in Canada and it was raining and bitter cold.
    Caught some nice fish though!

    Ask her what Truck/tent assignment she was on. I was manning Truck/Tent Grid - T/U. And I was at Pit Stop 2 on Saturday at the beach near that roller coaster.

    I think it's sweet when a guy is sick and they turn helpless. Just makes me want to baby them.
