6. I wish I could eat chicken noodle soup.
I think as a child eating it so much when I got sick really burned me out on it! But if you make it, then I would love some!!!

7. fight it!
1. vitamin c

2. zinc

3. a big ol' glass of whiskey

...or any combination thereof.

I thought I was coming down with something a couple weeks ago, did all the above, and lots of water the next morning to deal with the hangover...and successfully avoided the cold.

12. Wrap yourself in a blanket
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 01:05 PM by Parrcrow
put an icebag on your head and a thermometre in your mouth. Flop on the couch and let your significant other wait on you hand and foot.


and you can keep my scarf.
