Keeping up Jeff's theme of forgetting to post for annoyingly stupid reasons, I totally forgot it was my blog day too, because I've been taking care of my daughter, who's home sick with some kind of bug. She's got her appetite but has an on-and-off fever and a bad cough, and I'm starting to feel like I may be catching it from her. No fever, but I'm feeling kinda run down and weak, and I've been coughing like Jack Klugman on a bad day. (Dated references. Another sign of severe illness) Sigh....
So, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet: FOFOs, how can we get better, fast? Give me any and all of your home and storebought remedies. I hate being sick, and so does my daughter. So keep 'em coming!
Run the hottest bath you can stand. Mix with vodka, straight from the freezer.
I don't know if it'll cure anything but you won't give a shit.

Sorry about Marissa. Hope she feels better soon! And you, too.
I'm one for lots of orange juice and chicken soup. Once you've got something, you just have to see it through to the end.

I would combine Terrenoire's and Karen's suggestions...and just add the OJ straight to the bath...

Okay, but if anybody is going to take a bath in a screwdriver, it's me -- not the kid.

Don't get me started on the two different kinds of pneumonia, of which we have BOTH KINDS in our house at the present time.
I'm all ears for help besides dosing the kids with codeine cough syrup...which doesn't last that long BTW...
