Good morning everyone. Lost is not a happy camper this morning. I am coming down with a cold. :facepalm:

Poor Lost. :(

I had one two weeks ago. My GF had one before that. My Mom has one now.

Yep....it's "Spring cold season". :(
I hope you feel better. "They" say zinc helps if you use it at the start (don't use any nasal spray with zinc...get the lozenges). Jury is out on that though.
Stay warm, plenty of rest and liquids. Hot chicken soup, extra grind of pepper. ;) I also recommend hot-and-sour soup with extra spice. Vitamin C/OJ.

3 or 4 days. Don't forget the Kleenex when you send DD to the store.....;)

I have used Zinc in the past Atty and I find that it actually does help keep me from getting a full blown cold. I didn't use it this time because I was thinking it might just be allergies. Now I'm 3 days in and probably past the point of Zinc being useful. :facepalm: Maybe I'll give it a try anyway. Can't hurt.

Good! It's almost over then! You'll be fit as a fiddle so you can go back to work on Monday. ;) :) :lol:

Hubby's cousin lost her hubby yesterday morning after having been in a coma since last Sunday, so he and two other cousins are taking the long drive up North! Cousins come from a large family of 9 children!

I opted to stay home because of many reasons, but the hullabula of getting things ready in a short time was taxing on my brain! :lol:

Yep, an 'extra grind of Pepper' always helps with the cold.:D I'm convinced zinc helps with a cold, especially those Zicam gel swabs... that is, until the govt. took them away.

good morning, people & tibby.:)

Hi Pepper! :)




i'm sorry, gracie :( that's not good stuff - a safe trip for your dh and cousins
He just called me a bit ago and they're outside of Washington.....the traffic there should be a bit lighter than on weekdays.

It's gonna be a longer trip than the usual 13 hours, cause one of the cuz still smokes and insists on stopping once every 1.5 hours......she is one of the gals I bought a vaping kit for but she never took to it.

Morning Pepper.

The zinc-in-nose stuff is not cool....people lost their sense of smell...permanently in some cases. The cure in that case is not worth the risk. That's why I said don't use the nasal sprays with zinc...I don't think you can find them anymore anyway, but I mentioned it...use the lozenges.

Oh, that's what happened to my sense of smell.:D j/k Fortunately, I almost never get a cold and rarely get sick (knock on wood). It must be that clean living.:facepalm: However, I did have a serious sinus infection a few weeks ago that knocked me out for about 2.5 weeks. I didn't say anything because I didn't want you people to worry about the Pepper.:?:
