Did Verizon buy some other company out, or was it a name change? I've never had them, yet I got a $14 check from them out of some class-action suit. It's not much, but, hey, money!
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

I'm just worried that with them pulling the children's versions that some parents will dose their kids with the adult versions. "If we give them a small dose, it will be ok".

And honestly, when you've got a sick toddler who can't stop coughing, what are you supposed to do?
whiskey. My friend's grandmother used to dip his pacifier in whiskey when he had a cold. He's a big time lawyer now, so I guess it was okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You'll have them in the future and they'll give you bad service, and for tax reasons it will be cheaper for them to send money back through time to you....

Because books.
So true, Suzi.
Oh, Vortex. Silly woman. Whiskey's for teething!

I usually read the thing 23x and then ask DH: "this is right, isn't it?"
Ha - this is totally me. I try hard to buy just 1-2 brands to reduce the dropper options. Then, I'm on the Dr. Sears site (which lists dosages and weights and describes the bottles and so on) to make sure. Of course, it's different now that Ellie's 24 lbs and not 10.
This is the slowest day ever. Yeah, I've done *nothing* but still the day is dragging.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jess - was the Tylenol prescribed? I thought it had all been taken off the shelves which is why I'm asking.
Oh, not Tylenol Cold, just plain old acetomeniphen.
I'm not a big believer in OTC cold meds generally - I just don't think they do any good (except for the PM ones if your cough is so bad you can't sleep). But I'm a big believer in pain relief.
There was a study recently that showed that honey was as effective a cough remedy as any OTC cough syrup out there. (I'll do a quick Google for the link in a sec.)

And here's the actual study: [link] ]
[eta2: And before anyone jumps on me, I know you can't give honey to babies under 12 months.]

My mom used to make a sore-throat/cough remedy out of whiskey, lemonade concentrate (not mixed with water) and honey. Worked for me.

Yup. And actually, even without the whiskey if that's not something you're comfortable with (or if you've taken any Tylenol), just the hot lemonade works pretty well.

This was totally the case for Ellie - seemed so worthless. I used to give her decongestant (not sure if that is still available or not) when she got colds after about 6 months because my MD SIL said it would help avoid ear infections. I don't know if it did although Ellie has only had one since her first one at 5 months.
Speaking of sick kids, Ellie has a runny nose. No big deal, really, except that we are getting on a plane and it's currently -2 at our destination and I just know that the minute we land, it will turn into a sinus infection/ear infection/something.
