Default Uggghhh! I'm coming down with something.

Sorry about dropping out of some of the threads in the middle of discussions.

I've got a sore throat that I can feel all the way down into my lungs. Hurts to just breathe. Right now my throat feels like I've been swallowing red hot billiard balls. Headache, and the feeling something is trying to burrow out of my right eye socket.

Thank you for the kind words in Boo's thread. I'm going to log out and go back to bed now. (5pm local)

Don't forget to gargle with salt water for the sore throat. And get some Midol, that works for headaches better then ibuprofin.

Now I'm sad... need me to bring a care package to you?

Sounds like a wicked case o' strep. Grab the pain pills, some lozenges and call a doc if you're still fighting this after the weekend.

My father used to give us whiskey and sugar for our soar throats. It works like a charm. Strangely though, my sister and I always had sore throats...lol. The good old days of home cures!

Hmm BD, I dunno if I'd admit that I know what swallowing "ret hot billiard balls" feels like if I were you Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Hope you feel better. Lotta junk going around this time of year.

Is he still sick?
I haven't seen him much here lately.

Sure hope one of those red hot billiard balls wasn't made out of celluloid.

Get well and get back, BD!
