My sister had lots of canker sores and her doctor recommended lysine. She had to eat more chicken (or take a suppliment) and the sores went away pretty quickly.

Eat more chicken. OK. Any other lysine sources?
Relatedly, something that has been bothering me all weekend: when I was a kid, I was made to gargle salt water for my canker sores. I haven't tried it since because 1. paintful and 2. I can't figure out why gargling with salt water would help. It would be quicker than attempting five applications of Zylactin or whatever. Does anyone know? I mean, we don't typically put salt on wounds!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I was told the salt would dry the canker sore out.

Me too. Probably just rinsing would have the same effect, since I think it's getting the salt water on the sores that helps (if it in fact does), not getting it into your throat. I hear you on the painful (and also, just tastes nasty) though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know we need a spinal tap, right??
Or you could save the day, and take it in October...
Dude, I have Many Days. I have accrued a week of leave and have taken a day and a half.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
no spinal tap. I am having a lemon/honey halls that I found. Not sure that counts as sour.

Oh, in that case, never mind.

I wonder how long I will continue to be shocked and awed about the amount of leave time I have in this job?

Salt's antibacterial or antiseptic or something. I am unsure of the precise term that applies, but it reduces the chance of infection.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So this weekend, someone in the Toronto office I've never heard of calls me, puts me in a conference call, and asks if I can log onto a system in the Tokyo office and look at a problem.
I fixed the problem, but for some reason my fixing it caused a big kerfuffle, with people pointing fingers at each other trying to assign blame for what originally caused the problem.
Another reason why I should just stop fixing things at work.
