Yeah, that was as fine a piece of tail-chewing as there ever was...
Job 38:1-9
From out of a storm, the LORD said to Job:
Why do you talk so much when you know so little?
Now get ready to face me! Can you answer the questions I ask?
How did I lay the foundation for the earth? Were you there?
Doubtless you know who decided its length and width.
What supports the foundation? Who placed the cornerstone,
while morning stars sang, and angels rejoiced?
When the ocean was born, I set its boundaries
and wrapped it in blankets of thickest fog....
Reminds me of the lectures my dad gave me when I was a kid. Or Bill
Cosby's tale of his father telling him "I brought you into this
world, I CAN take you out.... Make another one just like you too.
Don't make no difference to me."
(FWIW, Job 38-42 are favorites of mine)
Glad Peter's feeling better, though. But eating raw garlic? I'd have
to be pretty darn sick to gnaw on the old stinking rose raw.
JB
Hi Peter: black coffee (a lot), Aspirine (2/3 tablets a day) and C
Vitamin (.5 g/day). That's it, it works fine for me...
Best, Pippo
Vitamin (.5 g/day). That's it, it works fine for me...

Not a cure, but can help with congestion:
All the garlic and onions you can take as raw as you can take them,
tho cooked still helps.
A nice curry is good, delivered to your house of course. And that
chutney that seems to be made from onions and some kind of tomato
stuff and who knows what else.
Drink a lot of water, and make sure you have a humidifier set up.
Don't do any sanding until you are better. Unless your mask is
perfect, even a little dust will make you feel worse.
A remedy which I don't recommend involves a hat, a four poster bed,
and a large bottle of whiskey. Put the hat on the bedpost, get in the
bed, and drink until there are two hats. Go to sleep.

Peter, just trying to be helpful. I reckon that the old folk remedy
does more about making you sleep than it does anything else. In that
case, take a shot, follow it with hot lemon water with honey (to coat
the throat) and sleep. It is the old home "nyquil" remedy without the
expense.QED
Anyone who can keep his sense of humor in the midst of such
discomfort must be on the road to wellsville. As to John Bell's Job
inference, all I've got to say is I bet old Job was wishin' he was
sitting on a dung pile covered in sores while he was gettin' his butt
chewed by God there in the later chapters (38 -- 42).

The only cure is rest and time my friend. Save your insides from the
Tabasco: Drink a gallon orange juice and take whatever over-the-counter
palliatives that help you sleep and GET TO BED! Turn the d*** computer off!
Liquor only ever made it worse for me. Save the good stuff for when you can
actually enjoy it. Give the rot gut to Job's comforters, er, I mean your
boating friends.
(Feeling sympathetic, was there last week myself...)

Dennis,
Thanks for the suggestion but I was afraid somebody would come up
with a liquor cure.Unfortunately for me,this type of treatment sorta
backfires with me since once I get a good dose of potent juice in my
gut,I just wanna boogy all night long and damn the torpedoes!!
I'd have to get my Pesky crew to tie me down real snug BEFORE
drinking begins and then it would only stand half a chance of working
since she hasn't yet got all her knots right......yet!
But I do get the sense of your message.Raise my internal
temperature and get into a little sweat-lodge affair.Perhaps a cup of
broth with tabasco sauce,followed by a hot bath then quickly under the
comforter?
Anyway,thanks for the suggestion! Also,I generally enjoy refined
beverages TID with occasional bursts of QID but you can be my MD
anytime with prescriptions like PRN!

Hi Peter,
In Missouri where I grew up, the flu remedy was suffering! In
West Virginia where I lived for 20 years, the hills folks swore by a
pint of the best corn liquor they could get their hands on. Drink it
down as fast as you can, then bury yourself under your favorite quilt
and sleep it off. I've never tried it myself, but at least it is a
natural medicine. If you have no corn squeezins, then a pint of good
whiskey will do. Oh, yea. Dosage is PRN.

Hi Bolgerados,
Anyone out there have a sure-fire,no-holds-barred,run-around-the-
block-naked cure for a nasty flu? I've gone the industrial route with
all the chemicals the pharmacists carries without any relief yet.
So.......maybe some of you have an old family recipe for stuff
that does work?
I hope so,since I am just about to either blow my eyes out of my
head from sneezing or get shot by friendly neighbors kept up all
night from my endless coughing!
