That is absolutely fantastic! That is a truly funny thing to find.
 
@Gevonovich Thanks for your kind words & thoughts Gev my friend:cool: Right ribs are OK but one on the left which must've been fractured is still painful when sleeping but it's improving greatly. What is a danger though is that the temps are around freezing here and paths & pavement like shiny glass :eek: Really slippery:thumbsdown: I have to put these crampon type things on over the heels when going out as I fear falling. :D:eek:

At least there are TWO knives in the post for me, they MIGHT arrive next week but sooner or later;) Nothing like having a knife on its way to you:cool::)

Regards, Will

I never really understood why people say NyQuil makes them drowsy. I’ve been fighting a head cold and sore throat for the last couple days, took some NyQuil about 15 minutes ago, and I feel finmgdkkxudhmsrzzzzzzzzzz..........

Yeah, tastes NASTY!
(Didn't stop me from taking some during Christmas. It does help me sleep when I have a cough. I can live with the weird dreams because I always have weird dreams anyway.)

jack - easy recipe for making your own nyquil -- crush up 2 diphenhydramine tablets (Bendryl is a brand here) and dissolve them into a shot of jagermeister or cherry heering.

Hey, that's a great track! :D :thumbsup: When, I was a kid, and you can buy all sorts of stuff in the pharmacies here, I would sometimes hear my grandma railing about the 'students' (anyone under 40 with long hair) she'd seen buying multiple bottles of cough syrup! :D Then 'Special Brew' (or Tennant's 'Super') came along....;)

Hot tea + sugar + lemon + rum has the same effect, including weird dreams, all without chemistry. :D

honeyed whiskey is a thing over here -- we keep a bottle in the fridge as cough syrup.
put a shot in the microwave for 10 seconds to get it up to body temp and toss it back then take a deep breath.
cuts through all the nasty stuff at the back of your throat and the fumes open your lungs up.
 
Whisky works pretty good for most ailments! :D I knew an old feller who used to rub it into his knees for his arthritis! :D :thumbsup:

My cold toddy usually combines fresh ginger, lemon or lime juice, and finely chopped chilli and garlic. I make it into a tea, and drink plenty of it :)

Way I do it is put honey, fresh sqeezed lemon juice, bourbon, and boiling water together. I think it's called a "hot toddy". It helps.
 
Moonshine and Horehound Candy You break up the candy sticks and drop them in the white liquor and they will dissolve. My grandmother kept a jar in the cabinet and any time someone got sick she'd grab that nasty stuff but it worked. She was also a big fan of castor oil :eek::eek: It's a wonder that I lived through childhood with all the "cures" my family used. :D Another was if you got into poison ivy or oak you would get painted with white shoe polish. o_O If you got stung by a bee someone would chew up some tobacco right fast and stick on the bee sting. I could go on but I'll just say growing up in rural Appalachia was never dull. :thumbsup:

LOL! Incredible Randy! :D Did you have an old uncle who slept in a coffin too?! :D My grandmother used to administer 'raspberry vinegar' in a similar fashion, and rub your chest with camphor and eucalyptus - her mother used to eat Vaseline to stave off colds! :eek: :D

Lol. The Cowboys definitely stepped up the defense and shut down the Hawks running game.
I knew it was going to be a close game, very evenly matched teams. Not great but not bad either.

I am sad that the Hawks won't be going any farther this year, but they still did a lot better than I expected. No joke, I think that Wilson is good for 7 to 9 wins on his own, and I still thought they were going to be a 4 win team this year. I really thought the team was going to be a mess, but they turned it around. Making it to the Playoffs in a rebuilding year is an achievement. And unlike the situation that obtained for most of my youth and early adulthood, I don't think it'll be 20 years before their next playoff win.

Go Hawks!
