I went to the grocery store and then napped , watched tv , and poked the computer. I just took the garbage out and that wiped me out. I hate colds because they are tricky.

ION , Celtic Christmas is on . The music is good , but so far there has been too much talk. I want music, not a documentary

I hope they fix your grandmother's anemia problem, smonster.

Oh, I knew something slipped past me. Much iron~ma to your grandmother, smonster.

thanks for the reminder

ma~~~ to grandmother

The china is pretty valuable and will got to a grandchild, so no worries.

I managed to do an hour of (very low-energy) yoga today without a single cough! And i dedicated my practice to health~ma for all.

two night of limited empirical testing have confirmed to my satisfaction that vicks vaporub on the feet has zero affect on coughing. It does, however, feel AMAZING. Like, the best foot rub ever. I can totally imagine telling my mom i had a nasty cough just to get a vicks foot rub.

Like I said great in preventing foot fungus.

Thanks, WS, it's on my wish list now!

Vicks vaporub on feet, noted.

And seconded.

My mom didn't use Vicks, she used Musterole, so that's what I used on my kids. I think the vital successful ingredient was actually the attention they got while I was putting it on, and the massage. I know all the muscles in their little chests were tight and sore from coughing. I could feel them relax with the warming effect and the soothing of the rubbing. The vapors probably helped open and clear their sinuses, but five minutes of my focused effort on a chest resulted in a cessation of coughing--at least for a while, and easing directly into sleep.

Old Wives Tales have some truth, I guess.

Yay, smonster!

And yay, erin-o, for yoga without coughing.

I suppose I should have a modern bible, and the scolarly one sounds interesting. I keep my KJV solely for the poetry, and memories of Sunday School, GA's, VBS and Christmas pageants past.
