Well, if you're going with that, one of my favorite tea combination is with honey, cinnamon, sage, lemon and a little bit of ginger. It's working, too.

I have a very affectionate cat in my lap, nipping at my chin. Waiting for blinds man.

I saw an article on the Cash for Clunkers program that's in congress. It looks like it is only useful for new trucks, SUVs, and Minivans. Car owners wanting to get more efficient cars get the shaft. Also, it looks like you won't be able to go buy an old $500 pickup and take advantage of it, you'll have to have owned the vehicle for a year. Bummer.

Back to work...

I hope you start feeling better tommyrot.

Thanks.

I may have to switch from Atomic Fireballs to tea pretty soon.

I like how the consultants we hired work almost exclusively on Windows machines and networks, yet they brought MacBooks with them to help set things up (they run Windows as virtual machines on the MacBooks).

Mattress With 1 Million Accidentally Thrown Away By Israeli Woman

JERUSALEM — An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress she said had almost $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites on Wednesday.

The woman told The Associated Press that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise present on Monday _ and threw out the old one.

The next day, she said, she remembered that she had hidden her life savings inside the old mattress. "I woke up in the morning screaming, when it hit me what happened," said the Tel Aviv woman, who asked not to be identified.

She went to look for the mattress, but it had already been hauled away by garbage collectors, she said. Searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing.

tommy, in an emergency such as this, gargling in the bathroom with some tap-hot water and couple packets of salt might be significantly soothing. (I follow up the salty gargle by swishing out my mouth with nice cold water.) Only takes a couple minutes!

This is why BANKS were invented, people!
