It was the first thing that popped into my head, though…
That sucks, Nickname Boomer. 
the whole thing makes me want to throw up. thinking of organizing a bunch of people, and see if we can get our voices heard. maybe a sit in or something.
Feel better, Armando! Rest is best.
That kind of cough where you feel like you’re trying to expel something out of your lungs? That’s been going around. I’m just winding down on mine; it only took a couple weeks.
Soooo NOT at work. Called in and canceled my meeting. Slept in the spare bed last night. Want to chop off my head.
Oh noooo! Feel better! Lots and lots of rest!!!
Yeah, that one. Thing is, I’ll have a couple of coughing fits a day where I start feeling like I’m going to pass out because I’m losing oxygen to the brain (it sounds ridiculous when I type it). I had pneumonia a couple of years ago and ever since then every cold is accompanied by increased shortness of breath and bad colds. I’d managed to escape getting sick since before Elena was born, but that streak ended last week.
Anyway, I made a Dr’s appointment for tomorrow. That’ll probably mean that I’ll be all better by tonight, but I need the appointment to get a referral for long term management of a chronic condition anyway. So it won’t be a wasted appointment (so long as they take my insurance).
I know just how you feel. Hang in there.
DayQuil, hot tea with honey, alka seltzer, hot tea with honey, NyQuil, repeat.
Hmmmm…tea is icky and no otc cold meds (they interfere with my prescription meds). Don’t know about alka seltzer - will have to check the box!
Whiskey or a glass of warmed-up red wine?
TheraFlu?? Its kinda nasty as well, like hot lemonade, but it worked great for me last week. But it may mess with your beds
Beds, huh? 
Ooohhh - that will mess with my meds also but I won’t care!!!
Let me re-phrase. OTC meds with decongestant mess with my meds!
Yea you might spill some and then you have damp sheets. And some one might think you messed yourself. And then you would be embarrassed and be forced to cry big tears into your pillow
Bwwwaaaahhhaaaaaaa!!
I’m not sick (knock on wood) but some mulled wine sounds lovely… 
My mother-in-law’s cold remedy is lemon juice and beer. Together. I refuse to take it. Spouse loves it.
See, now that sounds good! A nice LandShark lager with a slice of lemon. Or…I’ve got Miller Lite in the fridge - wonder if I have any green olives?
Hahaha, that is what spouse would prefer. But his mother made it mostly lemon juice.
And then she yelled at me when I sneaked sugar into the lemon juice
