And that's another thing about Baked Beans on toast! Have you noticed that . . . .

I think I remember that the original post was about Sony not offering baked beans for students lunch programs because of all the petards going on.

Now where did I see that word before?

Baked Beans - Petards .. . both explosive! Hahaha SPLAT

You guys are crazy. Grazie how are you feeling?

Honest? Been better . . normally I can shift a flu/cold within a week or so . . this sore throat is a wee bit more persistent . . . Doc said to take peni . . . she had the same . .I asked her if she was taking and she said no . .. so, maybe by tomorrow it'll be a peni treatment . . I really hate the idea of taken the stuff.

Thanks for asking cervama,

Best regards,

Grazie

OK, I admit it, I'm not in the mood to do any real work today...

Grazie, eat lots of chicken soup. Jewish penicillin <wink>

Hope you feel better. I've had some "bug" since Thanksgiving and still can't shake it.

Semi-serious... I've seen web sites that swear that there is some actual benefit from consuming large amounts of chicken soup when you have a upper respiratory infection. Aside from any hot liquid aiding in congestion and perhaps inhibiting inflammation of the cells in the nasal passage some say (can't recall who or what) that chicken soup gives off some amino acid that is similar to a common drug used to treat many respiratory infections. Which one, who knows.

You never know what you'll learn reading this forum.

Hey Gracie, I just got over something similar to your flu like symptoms. My remedy besides chicken soup is lot's of orange juice. It works for me not only do you get your c's but in also helps fight that cancer word as well. Take friend.

Sorry, I had to bump this thread few days ago, just to check if there were any students and/or staffs that were interested in a group buy:

Here's something that does work, well if you don't have a thing about opiates. Codeine! You'd probably need prescription to get just pure codeine although I do remember some over the counter meds in the UK that had a fair wack of it in them. Now this will not cure it of course but simply not getting enough sleep whacks the immune system around and this stuff does suppres that part of the brain that makes you cough. Obviously NOT a good idea if your lungs are full of gunk however if you've got one of those dry racking coughs that stops you sleeping it can work a treat. I find it can leave you bit out of it next day but at least my bodies better rested to get on with the job of fighting the bugs.

Booo...

Which NLE do I choose now?!? Sony Media Software does not reply to the e-mails that I have sent.
