Sorry to hear this, Chumly.

I know what a pain-in-the-ass you are when you are feeling chipper; can’t even imagine what you are like when under the weather!

I cannot take cold medicines (they knock me out almost immediately)…but I understand they can bring relief…or at least, the semblance of relief.

From what my wife tells me…take cold tablets for a week…and you will start feeling better at the end of the week. Alternatively, you can forget about the tablets and wait for a week…and you will start feeling better anyway.

Apparently “the week” is the essential ingredient.

Today my nose is very dry..........I may stuff some Vaseline up there.

Not even gonna touch that one!

olive oil works MUCH better..

I just finish reading about key lime pie on ossobuco's pie thread, and then I read this! Ack.

I've taken to nasal irrigation, you need to bend over the sink with a few simple materials. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nasal-lavage/MM00552

I use Kosher salt!
