No toga for me! It's only 9 degrees! I'll stick to my flannel longjohns for now.
I would love a hot chocolate with tons of marshmallows though. :)
A choco and 2,000 pounds of marshmallows?Quote:

Hey,

The bestest Carbombs are made with Guinness, not the Mickeys.
Dont you mean War Lord?
So it is warmer there than here - that's a switch! :) The furnace is humming away in the basement, its about nothin' outside here!Quote:

speaking of hot chocolate, I just made a fresh batch and restocked the marshmallows. So here you go Karen.
as Richard would say DONE!
And speaking of birds?
I was awakened by the sound of the White coated Southern California sparrow
watcher, meowing loudly. He needs to get his fill of bird watching!
Let me scare up some breakfast and coffee or hot water for some choco?
DONE!;)
And anyone can say DONE around here!
RICHARD, how about a BIG cup of coffee with some Bailey's in it. Right now in "ice" burgh it's -4 degrees with a wind chill of -22 degrees! I found Orc's remote! It was tucked down in the chair cushions again.Quote:

LP,
You and that ORC are way too much!;)
Redd,
I only know Birkies. Manolo would make me more fashion saavy than I think I am?
One cup and I hate to say this, It has been magnificent outdoors lately.
DONE!
RICHARD, the mayor of Pittsburgh is Luke RAVENstahl. So for the game with the Ravens on sunday, he changed his name to Luke STEELERstahl!
Um, Richard, Manolo Blahnik not only makes only women's shoes, they all have thin and high heels - AND he only makes them up to women's size 11.Quote:

Me, I've got my snow boots - thick soles with good traction. I saw a high school wannabe fashionista the other day wobbling down the sidewalk on her thin spike heels - shivering as she chatted on her cell and tried to avoid any contact with snow ... kinda tough this time of year hereabouts!
Redd, you can have all the Manolos, okay? With my blessing!
Meanwhile, yes, blue, juncos are little black birdies that are white underneath - so they look like they have been sitting in the snow too long! I guess you don't have them up your way? In this weather they are very active eating and hopping about to stay warm. They're on the other end of the scale, size-wise, from the turkey who leaves tracks in our snow.
Oh, and some nice warm chai, please, bartender?

Anyone have a cure for a chest cold? I hate having a cough...especially in foggy wet weather. I could use a hot cup of soup...
Get some eucalyptus - most florists shops have it as it is considered "decorative and pretty" - and crumble it over a bowl of very hot water, them breathe the steam.
Drink tea with lemon and honey - anything with steam will help loosen chest congestion, but the eucalyptus is what the nurse at my college recommended when I was close to pneumonia all those years ago. She gave me some in a film canister - can you tell I went to Art School?
I'm right there with ya. Whiskey/lemon/honey, tea, coffee, milkshake... nothing is soothing this throat or cough! Finally resorted to prescription cough syrup and even that isn't helping so much.Quote:

Zip, nothing with dairy in it is going to help. Diary - milk, cream, etc. - actually promotes mucus build-up. Stick to clear fluids, okay?Quote:

/s/ Doc Phred
;)
Thanks Phred! Its been foggy as all get out, and I always feel worse out in it. Not sure if its because I feel like a slightly damp washcloth out in it or what but I sure can't wait for my favorite season...summer! I would rather be in 120 degree heat than this garbage...
I know I know, I'm a wuss lol. I don't know how you guys in below zero temps do it year after year!
Karen's idea is good, also take a dollop of Vicks and float it in a bowl of hot water!Quote:

Zippy,
One hot and sour! Lol, I used to do Top Ramen with chili flakes or horse radish for a temp clearing up!
DONE?
Karen.
What is it with all of you?
I bought some soup beans today and was planning on making a chicken/bean soup. I hate it when you read my mind!:D
DONE!
C&S,
LOL, I always take a few shots when I get sick....If I am going to wake up feeling like poop, may as well self medicate!:D
DONE!
Hey, I graduated from The Massachusetts College of Art, which has now been renamed to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.Quote:

Oh, so sorry that you've got the snuffalupagusses. Chicken soup is one of my specialties but if I come over there, it's going to be in thermal underwear, three sweaters, heavy boots and a quilted parka. I appear alien but I come bearing gifts. ;)Quote:
