    I've been drinking tea with honey and lemon. I'm also taking Mucinex. That seems to help a bit. I will have to try the brandy too!! I've had this thing for over a week now and it just keeps hanging on.

    Slow--the brandy is important although a dollop of rum or scotch works just as well!  much better than all those dang cold meds

    feel better

    Slow.. My Goodness.. I've so many things on FB over the years where people have "had a few" and definitely shouldn't of clicked on send.. Then in the morning they've deleted it... but too late.. everyone's already seen it 😃

    Slow.. That's exactly how I feel.. I actually think that kid looks a lot like me.. We share the same hair-do.!!

    hahaha Lucy! That's how my hair looks every morning - with added curls. My new hair is a work in progress.

    PTS, we didn't get the brandy last night, but will definitely get it tonight. We were both too exhausted to go out. DH has been fighting this thing longer than me. Plus, I'm out of decaf tea. Will get that too. How much do you usually put in?? A shot??

    Slow, I just put a dollop as in less than a shot really.  Just enough to basically put me to sleep!  hope it helps

    yeap, that hair looks just like mine in the morning!  times I forget to come it before I head to the gym ~~

    likely the gym has a security pic of me, the hair is basically in its natural state~~

    Brandy, lemon and ginger and honey are the best for a cold. Whiskey works as well. An elderly friend recommended whiskey in warm milk.

    hahaha Alyson!

    Ain't that the truth!!??

    I'm not sure if the brandy helped with the congestion, but it sure did help me sleep. hahaha

    My DH tried it too.

    HaHa Slow.. Just thinking what a lovely caring hubby you have .. sharing your "medicine " with you, so you wouldn't have to take so much yourself. :-)

    hahaha Lucy!!

    I know huh? Such dedication!!

    Hoping not to catch any bugs. DH and Sister have had their flu injection and are now coughing and spluttering I cannot have vaccinations so rely on everyone to have theirs. image

    Well if the brandy did not help the congestion at least you slept~~and it tastes better than the dang cold med or it does to me!
