Got some cough syrup hope this shit works.

Even if it works, you might find yourself making yourself cough in anticipation. There's a reason sick and suck are so close in spelling.

 

[Foxfyre]

Stopping by to say hi as well. Been way to busy lately.

Always happy when you do WQ. Busy is good unless it is busy you don't want to do.

Hey, Foxy, how's the auto accident coming along? Did you get your car back yet?

Nope. They've had to order parts and it will be probably at least two more weeks.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Is there a medicine that makes coughs actually stop?

Your doctor can prescribe cough syrup with codeine but we find that plain old Robotussin from the pharmacy usually works for us. And sometimes a spoonful of raw honey can do wonders.

Hot toddy is good too. But the Robitusun (sp?) works too. Drink the hot toddy when NOT at work, lol.

Yesterday (Oct 11th) was my lucky day! I was up at the service station and I very rarely buy a Pick 3 Daily Lottery ticket but something told me to do so. I bought the ticket and put it in my wallet and headed home. Checked the numbers last night and lo and behold I won! Spent a dollar and won $500. I'm a lucky boy!!! Maybe I'll take Mrs. BBD out somewhere fancy for a dinner out. Haven't bought a lottery ticket in ages. Guess yesterday was a good day to buy one.

I am so glad that I am very rarely sick (knock on wood - lol). I get sick maybe once or twice per year, tops. I must have a GREAT immune system!

I have bought one lottery ticket to date--some years ago. I paid $1 and won $2. I figured that was my lucky day and there wasn't any point to buying more. I might try just once more though. Congratulations though. Winning is always a whole bunch more fun than not winning.

I have a cold and feel terrible.

Must be some kind of bug going around, I felt like crap all weekend, too. Still not firing on all cylinders but I have to go to work, gotta earn money for cat food.

Hope you and drifter are feeling better GW. I hate to be sick probably more than any human. I haven't had a cold in years--knock on wood--or really anything else other than maybe a mild U.T.I. and I have had a couple of really unpleasant allergic reactions to something in the El Pinto's--a popular Mexican restaurant here--food so I now avoid that. I feel very fortunate.

Me too and we should count that as blessings. Looking for a Massachusetts autumn photo for the vigil list last night, I thought the photo I used might be one of those quaint little towns you were talking about. Anyway it looked really pleasant.

Old remedy that used to work wonders was make a mug of hot tea add a splash of lemon juice, a tsp of honey and a shot of bourbon whiskey.

If a person tolerates alcohol okay, a splash of whiskey can indeed be effective as a cough suppressant but only a splash. More than that has a dehydrating effect that can make a cold feel worse.

Okay. Maybe you are the exception. Or I suppose if you have enough, you can't feel anything anyway.

Is there a medicine that makes coughs actually stop?

When I was a kid this was the go to cough syrup around our house. Was OTC back when fluff was a kitten but have to have a script now. Suppresses the cough and breaks up the gottagotta inside the chest... Remember I am not a Doctor... more of a shadetree pharmacist...

Oh, I remember that awful stuff!

My youngest brother was born in Mass, we lived in Buzzards Bay 1961-63 when my dad was stationed at what was once Otis AFB (now Otis Air National Guard Base). I even found the houses we lived in just now on Google maps, first on was on Bayberry the second was on Blueberry almost next to Queen Sewell Pond.

Mr sg lived at Otis during part of that time frame. Dad was transferred to Japan in summer of '62.
