All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm putting the onerous task of digging my car out until tomorrow when it's supposed to be above 20°F (and snowing again).
JZ, your workplace is just trying to achieve karmic balance.

So, garlic cloves (minced, sliced, chopped, whatever) for a cold: does it work? Enquiring sniffly minds want to know.
For me, yes, but only if I start it at the very first sign (for me, sore throat) of a cold. I crush a clove into a tbls of applesauce and then swallow whole. I do this a few times a day for a couple of days.

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

Steph, garlic works better for infections.
I thought the early reports that he was stepping down sounded too optomistic. It was just too soon for that kind of caving.

Steph, garlic works better for infections.
Isn't that what a cold is?
t edit Or did you mean, like mince the garlic and put it on a cut/scrape/wound?

This seems very probable.
