    Actually Alty it is a great movie, the guy who played "Two Face" in Batman stars in this movie. Really good, even the kids will like it, go rent it... I think you will also.:)

    Stringer; G-night all...

    Goodnight Stringer. I'll miss you, sob. :(

    Sneezy, did you leave me too? Sigh, all alone again. :(

    M? M? Are you here? Sniffle, all the men are gone, I'm all by myself, don't want to be, all by myself, anymore. ;)

    Hello Doc, how are you?

    Sniffle, sneeze, groan, I'm about the same, actually, I'm worse.

    Okay kids, I'm open to any and all suggestions on how to get rid of this cold/flu, I've tried meds, I've tried honey and lemon, I've tried rest and fluids, orange juice and vics vaporub. I've taken hot baths with lots of steam, I've had tea, I even got hubby to buy some rum, put it in my tea. I'm done, stick a fork in me, I need a remedy, anything, so, call grandma, call mom, ask her for an ancient family secret way of getting rid of a cold, every family has one, I already tried mine, and I've come to the conclusion that my family doesn't know squat. My sanity is on the line here boys, I can't take anymore!

    Anyone?:confused:

    Anything else?

    Haha. Friend got it on the mark.

    Best way to get over a cold is to take your mind off it.

    You try taking eucalyptus steam? Helps clear up the congestion, at least.

    It DOES have a nice ring to it. I likey.

    Eucalyptus steam, hmm, I'm assuming I'd have to go buy that, where, and what am I looking for? Keep in mind it's 10:30pm, not much left open, probably only the shoppers drug mart, can I get it there?

    I'm desperate here boys.

    Oh, while we're talking about health matters, I have a question for you Sneezy. Now don't get squemish, it's a touchy subject, but I have to ask. Hubby had a vasectomy on Friday, it was the no scalpel kind, now the doctor told him he'd be fine in a day or two, he's not. He's really sore still, has trouble walking. He did everything the doctor told him to do, jock strap, frozen peas, and don't walk around too much, could something be wrong? Why is he still sore 4 days later?

    Sorry for the topic boys, just pretend we're talking about the weather, K? ;)
  • Jul 28, 2008, 09:45 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    How often has he been icing it? Is he taking anything for the pain?

    Oh, and eucalyptus... I think you can find eucalyptus oil at any health stores... it's oil that is extremely minty. Few drops into boiling water, put head over it, cover with towel. 3 - 5 minutes, and your nose will start dripping (sorry) but it clears it up pretty nicely.

    Alty, as long as you have been ill and if you are running temp, do you think maybe you should call your physician and get on some antibiotics?? I don't know how you keep going with two little ones, feeling as badly as you are feeling. Please give that some thought! I am one worried kid about you!!

    Seems I jumped in a little late with this and you are wanting help for the night! You just sound like you feel so miserable. Wish I could fix everything for you!! But tomorrow, perhaps think about getting anti's!!
  • Jul 28, 2008, 09:50 PM
    Alty
    Sneezy, I think he could ice it more than he is, and he's taking tylenol for the pain which seems to work, but when it wears off, oh lordy is he sore. I'll tell him to ice it more. :)

    Rebbie, I'll be fine, I'm a tough cookie, lived through worse than this. It's like my mom always said; A cold takes one week to come, lasts for a week, and then takes one week to leave, but if you go to the doctor it only takes 21 days. ;)
  • Jul 28, 2008, 09:51 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    He should ice it for about 10 minutes every hour...

    And... 2 tylenol extra strength for the pain.

    ... hoping he's taking an ibuprofen or an aspirin for anti-inflammatory?
  • Jul 28, 2008, 09:55 PM
    Alty
    He was taking ibuprofen but it makes him a little less cautious when moving around, and then when it wears off he feels it and it's worse. He iced it 10 min/hour the first day, but hasn't been keeping up with that, so I'll tell him to do that more. Thanks Sneezy, what would I do without you, you're going to be a great doctor. :)

    Aw shucks.

    Thanks.

    The tylenol extra strength is for the pain...

    Ibuprofen is actually almost a must for the next 3 - 4 days... it's not really for the pain, but more for the anti-inflammatory so that it doesn't become something worse. Even if he's feeling better, get him back on ibuprofen for the next 3 - 4 days. Tell him it'll fall off if he doesn't take it.

    Wiggy says he'll do that Sneezy, and he thanks you for the advice. I think the poor man is ready to rip it off himself, he's sort of regretting doing this, but it was the lesser of two evils, vasectomy or getting my tubes tied.

    M, Wiggy says, ha, ha, ha, very funny. ;):)
  • Jul 28, 2008, 10:32 PM
    Alty
    Hubby just came up with a cure for my cold, well, sort of. He said a bottle of prune juice, it doesn't cure your cold, but it makes you think twice of sneezing.:p :p :D
  • Jul 28, 2008, 11:08 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Oh boy. I think it's time for sneezy to head out. Been trying to sleep earlier these days... perhaps I'll toss and turn for a few and then come back... who knows.

    Alty, hope you feel better.

    Starbs, hope things work out.

    Friend, keep on stalking.

    Sneezy out.

    HA HA HA! Very funny Batman! I betcha Wiggy really appreciated that one! :p

    I just woke up from a stress nap! Is anyone left? Batman should be leaving for a beer about now! Now I will be up, and everyone else will be gone! :(

    Alty... Vicks has eucalyptus in it. Try putting that in boiling water, and do the towel thing... instead of applying it directly! If you have a vaporizer, put it in there! Just a small tsp of it, because it's pretty strong.
  • Jul 28, 2008, 11:33 PM

    That's what my mom used to do Starby, and I've tried it, no go. I'm just so miserable. I just want to breath, want my nose to go back to its original color and stop hurting. The post nasal drip and stuffiness is driving me insane. Arrrrrr, I hate being sick. :(

    Sorry, little vent, sick Alty = unhappy, grumpy, b#tchy Alty.
  • Jul 28, 2008, 11:33 PM

    Goodnight Sneezy dear, sleep well, talk to you tomorrow.

    Where did M go? Did I scare you off M? I hope not. :(

    Batman has flown the coop to the Island for a little while. We are taking off in the Batmobile for beeerrrrzzzz shortly! I'll bring you an Amaretto!! They are good for colds when you warm it up too!

    Hey... warm peppermint Schnapps would help too!

    No hard liquor here, Wiggy picked up some Brandy, but alas, that's it. He did pick up beer too, and although it has no medicinal purposes, I'm indulging. Wow, the screen is moving, funky. :);)

    M, can you pick me up too? You might have to carry me to the batmobile, but I'm not that heavy, you should be fine. ;)

    Where we going kids?

    I don't know? Batman?. where are you taking us? I had suggested the Bat Cave, but we could go to the Bat Bar??

    Since Alty is feeling all stuffy and funky... we could play... uhhhmmmmm... Play That Funky Music White Girl??
