Oooooh, that would be neat. It's a huge, huge city (think bigger than NY) with lovely skylines and lots of chaos.

Anybody have any good methods for staving off a cold? Other than sleep, I mean? I knew I was going to make myself sick sewing all night and working all day for two weeks, but I cannot get sick and I have this tickle in my throat. Last night I thought I somehow cut my throat on a potato chip, but I am starting to feel a little sick, too.

I attack it with hot ginger tea and emergen-c. Little whiskey or bourbon in the tea right before bedtime.

I love big chaotic cities! I grew up in NY and consider Moscow the best place I've ever travelled. Also adored Naples this year, which is like the most chaotic of cities even by Italian standards.
Man.This will have to be managed. I don't want to muscle in on my dad but I really want to go.

What Vortex said. I had a roommate who used to swear by garlic tea too - basically a ton of garlic in hot water. Not the nicest tasting, but always effective.
Garlic, ginger and lemons are your friends, though possibly not together.

Because books.
And echinacea, Sophia.
That would be an awesome trip, brenda. Do it!

Lots of vitamin C -- whether in Emergen-C form, like Vortex said, or generic pill form -- can help. Like, 2,000-3,000 mg, spread out over the day.
I still swear by zinc lozenges, though their efficacy seems to have been disproven, so it might just be a placebo effect.
Chicken soup with garlic. Or pho. Or hot and sour soup.

Happy birthday, Lori!!
Holding-off-a-cold vibes for Sophia. And travel-to-China vibes for brenda--very cool possible opportunity for you!
IcompletelyON, a very neat story about how the Brits used Monopoly games to send escape kits to WWII POW camps.

Thank you-- I am going home "early" and will consume garlic and vitamin C (since that is what I have).

I tried the pills, but went back to the emergen-c because the warm liquid made me feel better, especially if my throat was tickly.

YES. both of these are excellent. Problem is, you often have to leave your home to get them :)
Now i want pho. but I don't want to leave my house.
