I was taking a helicopter crew to the hospital to get a patient last night and one of the flight nurses said, Jeez, you got the croup? I said, well, I had a cold, but ever since I had pneumonia I get this cough when I get a cold. She said, yep, you'll have that for the rest of your life. Greeeat. <br />No one gives ya the stinkeye like OB nurses while you are hanging around the nurse's station coughing.<br /><br />Glad you found the parchment paper; I was so happy when Reynolds started selling it, I don't have to endure a Pampered Chef party to get it any more.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-22619217867090379022010-01-21T14:04:08.737-05:002010-01-21T14:04:08.737-05:00Hi There!

See you soon. :)<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-13287972005505531662010-01-17T22:20:46.665-05:002010-01-17T22:20:46.665-05:00This post cracked me up as per the following comme...This post cracked me up as per the following comments:<br /><br />"...I was resorting to open mouth breathing to stay snerk free"<br /><br />"... and sleeping propped up on pillows like the Elephant Man so I don't drown in my own gravy."<br /><br />"My consistent need to evict various nose goblins..."<br /><br />"...so she wouldn't have to risk my cooties in the interest of sharing the love of Christ."<br /><br />Nicely done!Jeff and Charli Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-72697894250433974152010-01-15T19:37:38.145-05:002010-01-15T19:37:38.145-05:00If you don't try the onion method, what will y...If you don't try the onion method, what will you say to hat lady next time you run into her in church?<br /><br />She'll be looking for you, wondering if you tried her mountain medicine.BohemiAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665626217506971392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-86890863470423722692010-01-15T19:36:25.748-05:002010-01-15T19:36:25.748-05:00If you don't try the onion method of healing, ...If you don't try the onion method of healing, what are you going to tell hat lady next time she sees you in church?BohemiAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665626217506971392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-44128671632751351392010-01-14T15:57:33.318-05:002010-01-14T15:57:33.318-05:00Ack!

Sur...That was so interesting, I had to look it up. Sure enough, onion was used as a folk remedy for coughs. <br /><br />"Onion broth: Make a broth by boiling an onion for 10-15 minutes; strain and drink the broth several times a day. The broth will reduce congestion.<br /><br />Onion juice: Make a syrup by combining 1 teaspoonful of raw onion juice with 1 teaspoonful of honey; let stand for 3-4 hours, and take in divided doses."<br /><br />If that doesn't sound good, it also recommended grating 2 cloves of garlic, mixing it up with honey, and taking as needed. Um, eew.
