been ill and a question ~ Shelly

[Guest guest]

You poor dear girl! i am so sorry to read you have been

ill; wondered where you were and had just chalked

it up to holiday-fun. i have not been around as much

due to the holidays.

When i am sick with a head-cold or flu and sinus thing

i just eat soups and broths. That miso soup Donna

shared sounds wonderful. But often i don't have

energy or desire to do even that, so i will send my dh

to the store to buy cans of vegetarian safe soups... i like

crackers, too. For drinks i usually crave hot herbal teas.

Cold CarePM by Traditional Medicials is good as are

others they make for colds and flus. i really like to sip

a fizzy Emergen-C in the raspberry flavor; all you have

to do is add it to a half-cup of cold or warm water and

it has a lot of vitamin C and also vitamin B6 and B12...

good for ya.

Here's hoping you have a healthy 2006!

Month of January - smoky is the vale;

Weary the wine-bearer; strolling the minstrel;

Lean the cow; seldom the hum of the bee.
