Thoughts for the day
BelAir:
Nope.
;D
My treatment of choice for colds is lots of Tylenol and orange juice. But that probably don't help so much with the stuffiness.

I was getting ready to say, what happened to the chicken soup? But I see Jeff already had some of that

I saw many of these bushes in my recent visit to Chaco canyon in the Four Corners area of northern New Mexico. There was a highly-advertised cold medicine called Ephidac in the ?80s? ?90s? made from ephedra, but it was taken off the market because it could cause heart attacks and all sorts of negative reactions. Pseudoephedrene was then developed, but I think it was also proven to be harmful.

I think the real problem with pseudoephedrine is that it can be used to cook crystal meth. :P
I wonder if you're thinking of that thing that was in some diet drug that they had to take off the market because it caused heart problems? I can't remember what that was called. ???

No, but I heard that if you're having a baby, if you put a knife under the bed, it cuts the pain in two. ;D

I will remember that Jeff although I am not planning on having a baby anytime soon :D
And by the way I said you inhale the broth when I meant to say you drink the broth. The broth would be quite difficult to inhale and if you were able to I think you would end up more stuffed up and sicker.
