How to Treat a Cold


Posted: Feb 12, 2017

I have tried this and it works:

1.  Place a hat at the end of your bed.  It can be any kind of hat.

2.  Get into bed and pull up the covers.

3.  Drink whiskey until you see two hats.

If it doesn't work, it won't matter.

It seems to me that this would also be a perfect, though temporary, "remedy" for the anxiety I often get from my MT job..

Thanks for sharing.

Trick Or Treat In The RainOct 28, 2009
I have been fortunate that every Halloween has been dry as a bone, but this year it is almost certain we will get some rain!  I am looking for some tips from people who have been trick or treating in the rain.  I have a 3yo, 4yo, and 5yo if that helps.  I figured I would just do the umbrella thing and maybe go to the local mall, but my 5yo daughter wants to go to houses so bad.... she actually told me "but mom, houses are our bread and butter."  That was kind of funny. Thanks ...

Florida ColdFeb 19, 2015
At the risk of getting tomatoes thrown at me for those people in the north, here in SW Florida, we're not used to cold weather. It's 56 today, and going into the 30s tonight. I can't stop shivering. The heat in many of the homes is not efficient at all (it shouldn't have to be!), and our windows and doors aren't insulated. We have an open floor plan and high, vaulted ceilings, so heating it is almost impossible. And it's windy out so all the cold here is coming in t ...

Cold FeetJan 14, 2016
I am reaching out to my fellow MT's to ask what to do about my cold feet.  This time of year my feet get extremely cold while I type all day.  I have never typed in shoes, and really cannot because I can't feel the difference in the pedals.  If I wear shoes I end up backspacing or forwarding all the time.  I can wear house shoes with a very soft, flexible sole most of the time, but my feet freeze this time of year.  Any suggestions?  ...

Cold/virus Causing Vile Breath?Nov 23, 2010
On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went to a friend's house for a pre-Thanksgiving gathering.  While there, I noticed that his breath was exceptionally rank (I could be standing 3 feet from him and smell it).  After pushing gum several times and him turning it down, I finally had to tell him his breath was terrible.  He chewed gum, but it never really got better. On Sunday, he started not feeling well...like he was coming down with a cold.  Yesterday, he felt worse. ...
