Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, what could be more conservative than nickel wine?? I mean, you'll be drinking while unemployed, right?
Note to self: an apartment that's $100/month cheaper and has a broker's fee doesn't actually save you money for at least a year, once you've paid the fee and the movers.

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.

In an article I read at some point in the distant past, the guy who did the hot pepper research suggested heavily black-peppered chicken soup could indeed be the remedy people thought it was.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Chicken Tom Yum soup is great for colds!
This is based on a study I did, with a sample size of one.

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?

I think you're overlooking that maybe going to graduate school turns you into a supervillain.
This seems very probable.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If billytea is around (or anyone else who might know the answer): My DH is off to Beijing in a few days, and I would like to know if the electrical adapter he needs is the same one we use for New Zealand?
Sorry I missed this last night. Yes, it's the same adapter.
But I really like Neil Finn's version of "Billie Jean" too.
That's a surprisingly effective cover, given it was just for a quirky segment on a radio show. Do you have the rest of the CD too? Rolf Harris' version of "I Touch Myself" has to be heard to be believed.
I heard it was an Australian tv show, and the star of that show is playing the dog in the US version.
You heard correctly. It's on SBS here (multicultural programming for the most part. Not sure which culture features the pot-smoking dogs.)
Will do, rommytot. Or won't. I'm not sure which. I shall ponder the wisest course of action over a snifter of cognac. Typo, I am in love with your new tagline.
JZ, I am in love with your typo.
My office is giving me no cognac. They're promising cider at 4:00, though. I guess I should stick around, huh?
