Hey Dave. Sorry I missed you name day. I really hope you get on the mend quickly. I've always found rum works wonders.

For any problem

OK last night as I was mixing cocktails I came up with a new one:

"The Houghy Doghouse"

In a tall chilled glass pour-

- A serve of Old Tawny Port
- Add crushed ice
- Add three or four dashes of Tabasco Sauce (very hot).
- Juice a fresh lemon and remove the pips then add a teaspoon of white sugar, then stir it in.

Allow to chill for a couple of minutes and then enjoy the "Dog House"

Al.

Happy birthday dave, hope things improve for you,i know bronchitis sucks although for me as a kid it was a blessing .The docs in England told my parents the cold climate would kill me,so when i was four years old we moved over here,a blessing in disguise!

this was sent to my wife in an email this morning Dave

"During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapo rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprise finding VICKS to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep cough,and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at how it works."

iceman (Mike) · #35 14-07-2008, 10:41 AM

Geoff, my wife received that in an email too, a few weeks ago. I'm guessing it's spam.

Happy belated bday, dave! Get well soon!

GTB_an_Owl (Geoff) · #36 14-07-2008, 10:57 AM

don't know Mike

i have allways used vick's to rub on my chest when i have a cold
it's good as a liniment for sore muscles and joints
and i seem to remember my mom saying to rub it on your feet as well when i was very young

try it Dave - put it to the test

Sorry I am late to this post string...Happy Birthday, belatedly...and best wishes for many many more!

I also hope you get to feeling better soon...I had a bout of this illness (or near enough to it) and it took me several weeks to completely get through it!

With respect to the "cure all properties" of Vicks Vapo-rub, based on Mitchell family lore, it is likely true...if something can not be cured by Vicks, Windex or a chiropractor (a good back cracking) it is not cureable!

While I have not tried the Vicks on the feet trick, I have rubbed it most other places to mostly good effect...next coughing night I'll try it.

**added disclaimer, I am not a Doctor and do not want to be construed as giving medical advice nor can I truly make the claim that Vicks, Windex or a Chiropractor can cure or fix anything...if you try any of the above, do so at your own risk...

And Again, Belated Happy Birthday!

I have tried a few Chardonnays and a couple of Merlot - numbs the area for a while - but the effect is quickly lost
