Any y'all know? LOL


Poem Artwork


... confused.  Is it feed a cold or
starve a fever or the other
way 'round?  Details are a little
fuzzy, thanks to Nyquil Night Time
Cold and Flu.  Two tablespoons
every six hours ensures nap
time.  When awake, hot tea soothes the
throat; fleece wrap comforts the shoulders,
chicken soup warms the insides ... but
can't stay awake long enough to
remember is it starve a cold
or feed a fever?  Good night, now -

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (12/23)

Always feed the body nourishment in high quality. Forget the chicken; go straight for the turkey wing soup. Use egg noodles for warmth and lots of onions will make you sleep. Add whole peppercorns and ginger to sweat out the ailment. Toss in some red, green and yellow bell peppers for color and variety. If you want to add some vitamin C, throw in a tomato or three. Enjoy, rest, heal.

With that chicken soup, ya can't go wrong. And one of my cats thanks you for that darting bug on the screen; she'll spend quite a long time trying to catch it!

i've heard that saying as well-here it is, straight from "Google":
The addage is "feed a cold, starve a fever." It makes sense if you think about having the flu vs. a cold. A flu is an intense reaction that takes a lot of metabolic activity. Digestion is a demanding task. As a Fever is usually short lived (1-3 days), not eating may be a better way of allowing your body to contribute the maximum amount of metabolic activity to recovery. If the fever lasts longer, then maintaining adequate available energy may becomes a problem. Natural doctors recommend diluted vegetable (preferred) or fruit juice (unsweetened) for energy during an illness.

It's mostly rest and fluids. Include the chicken soup too. Careful it stays out of your chest. Take Musinex D if it does.

Here's hoping you feel much better by Christmas!

Blessings of love!

Yikes, instead of the Nyquil stuff try a luke warm beer and wet/cold towels around your calfs... mother got the fever down that way and the warm beer makes you sweat bullets.
The bug is a nice reminder of my unpleasant visitor in my riding boot the other day, lol
Take care,

LOL!! I am sorry that you are not feeling well, though it seems that you have figured out how to ride it out. I wish you a very Merry Christmas (at which time I hope you feed instead of starve) and a happy and healthy New Year.
