h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My biggest incentive for natural remedies is that a lot of medicines make me more ill than the thing I had in the first place.

So far, I haven't found anything better than this for coughs: http://www.naturade.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=84

so they make cough syrup by juicing buttercups and squills?

After knocking them out with chloroform so they don't feel a thing.

Oh... so they're juiced humanely..

of course!

Otherwise you'd fall fowl to the league against cruelty to buttercups

Hey Mr. Cal,
I never knew what greeh was when you and Jack would refer to that once in awhile. Um... did you check the vacuum cartridge? I don't know what they call it over there where you live since it can vary regionally but the dirt collector part. When our house gets ants my mom likes to take the vacuum out, vacuum up a trail of them that are in the house, and put tape over the hose. .
There are so many right when it switches from being cold to warm again... or the rainy season goes underway. I'm just glad we don't live where there are army ants. It turns out they make a nest out of themselves with guards that poke their heads out and the whole nasty mess they call it a bivouac I found out.

we've been lucky not to have many insects inside the house... we had a problem with s so I bought some sort of sonic critter repellers and plugged them into various areas of the house. Other than the occasional, and aparently deaf wayward we've been bug-free...

having a holiday bitbat?

forced but yes... home sick.. not even VPNing in either..

Is it still the strep? That should only be a week, at the most ten days. If you still feel that bad, get to a doctor.

I had another appointment today.. the strep is gone but the cough is keeping my throat raw.. they changed me to a syrup with guaifenisin and codeine... even if it doesn't stop the cough I'll likely not care too much..

if you practice that cough it'll get better

*giggles* actually the new stuff has helped already.. she also prescribed some different pills.. the coughing isn't gone but it's definitely a lot less..

see told ya

*giggles* I can probably cough the 1812 overture in perfect tune by now..

are you sure it isn't serious?

I admit to being curious about the coughing rendition of the canon fire.

*giggles* my doc gave me new meds which are helping...

So, the concert is cancelled, then?

at least until I run out of cough, syrup yes..
