OT - I've joined the land of the sick

I hope you get better soon!!

Hope you feel loads better soon, Lynne. It's not fun being sick and It's worse when you have to take care of the kiddies too.

Hope you get to feeling better soon Lynne! Just make sure the contractors don't do any painting over you. :-)

Oh yuck there Lynne!! The kids more or likely, because they LOVE YOU!!! brought it home just for YOU! Isn't that the way it is? Anyhow hope you get better REALLY SOON nad BTW how much longer are they gonna be in the fixing of the house?

My holiday swap went in the mail priority today. I think if I had remained a constant lump on the couch the contractors would have taped and papered over me. They are getting ready to texture and paint.

The embellishment I made was kind of the technique we talked about a week or so ago. Remember the lady making the $100 teddy bears on ebay and we wondered how she made them. I didn't do a teddy bear, someone had mentioned using a template and wetting around it on mulberry paper to get the shape you wanted. It works to some degree, but it takes a lot of work and diligence. Now I'm thinking $100 isn't that steep. hehe Mine are very simple looking, but they took a bit of time and turned out so cute. Would I do 12 in a row again? No! I won't be selling them on ebay. haha I'm too lazy. Would I make one for my album some day! Yes! I liked the look.

Back to the couch,

Lynne

Lynne, Hope you pamper yourself and just get better! can safely say I am now on the Well List. I don't do sick very wel!

Hugs, Sabrina in Kentucky

a good friend is a life long treasure

Feel better soon, Lynne!

Hi Lynne,

The next time you feel a cold coming on, try these in addition to your echinecea:

I started using homeopathic treatments at the first sign of a cold about five years ago. I haven't had a full blown cold since. I swear by them!

I used to use Zicam (worked AWESOME) but I am worried about the possibility of losing my sense of smell (there have been a few reported cases) so I switched to Cold-eeze lozengers.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Marcia,

I have these exact lozenges. I bought a pack after my cold in September. They are the nastiest tasting things even with the cherry flavor, BUT my son and I started sucking on them as directed when we felt the tickle in our throats and we're both down with a bad cold. I don't know what would have stopped this cold it came on strong. I'm still using them hoping the cold won't last as long. I've been wondering if it would be OK just to swallow them? Maybe I should just get some zinc tablets.

My understanding is you must let them dissovle and not chew the lozenger for them to be effective. They certainly are nasty tasting! :-(

Do you have Wild Oats markets in your area? This article describes various homeopathic flu and cold remedies available thru Wild Oats.

We administer homeopathic earache tablets to our kids when they get ear infections. My kids have not had to take antibiotics for ear infections since we discovered the homeopathic remedies, which was a god send because my son did NOT tolerate the antibiotics prescribed to him for an ear infection when he was infant (he had severe vomiting and diarrehea after taking antibiotics).

I really like homeopathic stuff. I've used it on my daughter for earaches and had worked well. Wild Oats sounds familiar. I might have driven past one I'll have to look it up.

Hope you are feeling beter soon. Lin
