fruit is good for when you're sick
ergo....having a couple glasses of red wine later with dinner would actually be GOOD for my flu. right?

i mean it's like health food, no?

:D

    I am healthy as a horse currently and I am enjoying a glass of Malbec.

    Now. If you are sick, you should select the beverage that you think is right.

    Wine never strikes me as a good choice when I'm sick, neither does beer.

    When I'm sick--sick for a number of days, mind you and just trying to shake that last bit of malaise--I wrap myself in a blanket, and I follow the advice herein:

    i should say i'm on the way out of sicktown, all i have left is a touch of cough (which makes me think perhaps something of the herbal variety might help expel whatever demon i got dancing in my chest). i'm all about being medical here haha

    and is mr. t gonna bust thru my door though? cuz my landlady would be crazy angry. and like hell i'm cleaning that mess up! i am wrapped up in a binkie at the moment, i'm like a coughing burrito lol

    it's my grand "F U" to the pharmaceutical establishment U C.

    i wonder if prince writes like that all the time.

    my brain is demolished for the day as it is, so any outside help isn't gonna make that much more of a difference i figure. plus i went to the coffee shop, and usually order a medium coffee in a large cup, and asked the guy for a medium in a small cup.

    *twice*

    took me the 2nd time to realize, oh, david blaine isn't the barista. WHOOPS

    Rygar is half in the bag, and approves this thread.
    Red wine + rum (not together, no) = good.

    you're halfway in a bag? does that mean you're halfway toasted? or sitting in a potato sack? if the latter, how the hell come?

    ahhh i have no rum, and it's probably better that way!

    Rum is my dad's remedy for everything.

    You want to get rid of that flu, then sleep 24/7 (and drink some rum, hehe, this may be a requirement for that much sleep).

    Shots of whiskey, chased with hot chicken broth. Your sickness will go away in 24 hours, after you wake up :)
    NERDS!

    when i was 8 got a pull tab caught on my finger....my school couldn't get it off so they call my parents....my dad and brother come and my dad gets it off my finger....

    when i got home, i got cold...shivering actually....so my dad, numb-nut that he is :), decided to warm me up.....he gives me a brown liquid in a really small glass....so i figure, he's my dad he's giving me medicine.......

    my dad gave me a shot of brandy.....i downed it in a second.....i don't remember the rest of the day...

    :D:D

    haha! :D Well we don't call by any fancy name here! Just champers and OJ. :D I might have to adopt mimosa to get me sounding a little more classy. :D

    I know what you mean about the champers headache though. :eek:

    Maybe skip it and stick with the red, it's got aunty who's in it. :)
