Thanks, guys. I've moved from raging to depressed, which I guess is a little better.
Vortex, ~ma to you.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
This is especially true for coughs, where usually you want either the suppressant or the expectorant, not both.
I think that depends on the expectorant, actually.
Mucinex DM is the two together.
The guai still thins and loosens the mucus even though the dextromethorphan keeps you from coughing it out.

Isn't Vortex Easter timezone? If she's still not out things went well?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm frantically taking notes on all of this since Matilda is currently nearly crushed beneath an epic ick and I'm trying to just plow through as much work as possible now so I can scoop her up from day care and keep her home for the afternoon. The snotmonster from hell has taken up residence in her sinuses and her eyes are all infected and goopy -- almost pasted shut every morning, and red-rimmed and puffy all day.
The worst of it is that she's as good-natured and cheerful as ever; David pointed out last night, as she sat in the bath burbling and splashing happily with her sad little red crusty eyes and red crusty nose, that there's almost nothing quite so poignant as a really cheerful sick baby. She's all Tiny Tim and Little Nell and Carol Bird wrapped up in a little koala-bear-sized bundle, which is probably much easier on us than if she were rageful and weepy about feeling so crummy, but it's just an extra dose of heart-rending. All for a stupid old goopy cold.

GC, you and your GF should absolutely, absolutely report them to the BBB.

Something that usually helps my sinus headaches - warm to hot compresses on my forehead or standing under a hot shower with the water running down my face.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just saw this on tv, and I thought it was an interesting idea for trying to get younger children to eat properly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also have the ick and a hell day at work. Poor sickly us! ESPECIALLY cheerful Matilda, the description of whom just about broke my heart with love.

not your mom's socks.
JZ - what I love about this space is that people feel comfortable sharing many different experiences - sick kids being one of them. Hugs to Matilda.
I was at our co-op and somehow slipped that we were using Tylenol when she and I were both really sick - it was as if I had said I was tying her to the train tracks at night for safekeeping. Seriously, I wish I had more patience myself, but this - absolute harshness and mean-assedness because I'm not making homebrew polutices. Set me on edge. Sorry if I brought it with me to the board.
