[Nicki]

Take care sean,hope you feel better soon

[Perri]

Oh no, Sean, please listen to your doctors and behave yourself!

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Sean, I will share with you (and all my other GR friends) my mother's recipe for cough medicine - and yes, it does work!

Thinly slice 1 red onion.
Thinly slice 6-8 cloves garlic.
Place in bottom of glass jar.
Top with 1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar.
Screw lid on jar and leave overnight (DO NOT refrigerate).
Take 1 tbsp. as required.

I was very sick all winter last year with bronchopnuemonia (I had lost the recipe in one of my moves), but have not been sick at all this winter. Everytime I start to get a tickle in my throat or start to cough I make up a batch.

Hope you are soon feeling better 8:D

Sorry to hear you're unwell Sean. It's important to get plenty of rest with bronchitis and pneumonia. Take it easy and I hope you're feeling better soon. :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Thanks all.

I am resting, with difficulty, as I have an active mind.

Try to rest at night, but then I cough more, then in the morning I feel so tired.

But at home resting, frustrated not playing for Jersey this weekend, but nothing I can do.

[Sue]

Just won a book in last night's Goodreads Giveaway Contest,When the Dove Cried by Fiona Cane. A psychological thriller. I'm happy!

[sonya]

I love psych thrillers!

[Rhonda]

I hope you are up on your feet really soon, Sean. Sleep is good for you.

[Ter'e]

I know some of you must think I have given up the ghost. Am still here. Reading when i have some evidence of sanity.
We are still trying to sell our home. The first sale fell thru 3 days before closing.
We signed a new contract, with same people and gave them 3 mos to clean ip their problem. (There had been a situation with a deed in lieu almost 3 years ago.)
Now, after waiting 3 more months and thinking we had a clean slate to work with.......another problem with the damn (sorry Sean) deed in lieu again.
We had been told there would be a 9/30 closing (approx)........and here we are again.........with a huge prob staring us in the face.

We are packed up, ready to move...........and now there is another wrinkle.
Lord, how far does one go before throwing in the towel???????
Hubs and I are soooooooo depressed. Trying to figure out what to do. We have til noon........and we should hear the bottom line by 12:00 EST.

That's why I have been such a lousy book pal these past 6 mos. my apologies........

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Ter'e sending good vibes your way that you will hear great news this afternoon.

[Sean, Moderator]

Ter'e

I know you have had your problems, and it is taking a lot time to sort out your house problem.

I wish you luck.


Today I am struggling with breathing, doing my best to rest watch the Davis Cup, semi final (UK v Australia)

You can use onions, honey and mustard as an ancient Egyptian hot plaster for back pain. Found that out when I was at PanHistoria doing RP as a foreign ambassador to Egypt during the time of Ramses II (The Great).

[Ter'e]

Amber,
My Dad was a Saloon owner in San Francisco in the 30-50's. He ran rum between Alaska and Mexico.

[Amber]

Sounds like he had a few close escapes from the law.

[Ter'e]

Well shoot......the rest of his "recipe" did not print.
Whenever we have a cold, sore throat, pneumonia, whatever......the remedy is the same.
Whiskey
Honey
Lemon!!!!!
To this day.......it's what my family goes for. LOL

Yes, Ter'e, I come from an Irish background, and we only followed this. It works!

[Jean]

Sandy, that remedy sounds like it would definitely cure what ails you! Maybe. Sean, hope you feel better soon. Ter'e, maybe your sellers could use a few doses of that potion! Sorry, girl, you know I feel for you!

Sean - I have diabetes and asthma. This summer suffering with the asthma and my doctor said focus more on breathing and take care of the diabetes after. Rest, breath and hope you feel well soon.

Ter'e - good grief you have been through so much with this move. Wishing you the best on your sale.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Oh ter'e, I truly feel for you.....We have been trying to sell our business and so far have had nothing but tyre kickers.....we have recently had one party come back 4 times...but still nothing. Is your agent still trying to find other interested parties for you? I hope so! Big hugs friend.

My family had a similar recipe, to which we would add:
freshly brewed black tea, beef or chicken broth (whichever one we had more of) and a couple dashes hot sauce (Tabasco brand being the #1 choice.

Oh yeah, you had to pinch your nose shut and knock it back all at once.

[Ter'e]

Amber.......just like doing a shot of cheap tequila!!!!!
Give me "Casa Amigo" anyday!!!!!

[Amber]

LOL

[Amber]

ALL HAIL THE REAL BOOK! DOWN WITH EBOOKS! http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/23/bus...

[Amber]

Yep, especially since the only time people usually die in the making of a REAL book is if they screw up safety procedures somewhere along the way while some one working in the African mines that supply the minerals used to make the E books can be ARBITRARILY slaughtered for any reason or for no reason at all by the warlord who OWNS the mine!

[Groovy]

Sean, it seems you and I have been suffering from the same ailment. My bronchitis broke out the first week of august and I've been coughing my lungs, and ribs out, and wheezing ever since. I sound like a man. I'm on the last leg of it, thank goodness.

Hope you get better. Keep us posted.

[Amber]

Sounds more like pneumonia to me.

[Ter'e]

Groovy, I hope you get better, soon, too.

Sean........how are you doing now?????

[Sean, Moderator]

Although a little better, shocked at how tired I am, the coughing (as you will know Groovy) are so deep and painful it hurts your chest and back, such a dry sore throat, breathing bad energy awful.

Very frustrating, not slept all night for nearly two weeks, but not much I can do, and sadly passed to my wife who is now off as well, and coughing all night.

So we take it in turns to wake each other up with coughing !

Groovy yes sounds like the same as me.

Laryngitis, Bronchitis and pneumonia.

I do sound like a moaning man ! I am !

I hate it frustrating when you are so active.

[Amber]

Ouch. Sorry I underestimated your problems, Sean. Makes my canker sore in my mouth from a dental extraction on the 11th sound like a walk in the park.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hope you get better Groovy

Amber dentist I hate ! Never a walk in the park !

[Groovy]

Thanks, Ter'e. The coughs are nearly gone and I can go out at night again--yaay!!!

If I'm not mistaking, pneumonia is accompanied by severe headaches and a high fever. Also, I didn't know bronchitis was contagious. It's not supposed to be, right?

Anyway, thanks, Sean. Don't laugh, but I honestly thought I had lung cancer. I'm sorry to hear your wife is ailing now, too. Hope she's not mad at you. Take care of each other:)

[Sean, Moderator]

Yes strong headaches, aches and pains, tight chest, very tired, difficulty breathing and sleeping.

Thanks Groovy, happy you are a bit better.

[sonya]

Sorry you are so sick Sean. Hope you feel better soon

[Sean, Moderator]

Thank you

[Heather]

Sean & Groovy, I hope you are both feeling a lot better soon. :)

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, indeed! Feel better soon.

[Amber]

It was the dentist who diagnosed the canker sore and said it was almost healed, Sean.

[Groovy]

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts. It was bad, as Sean can tell you. I'm down to 1% sick, so that's good.

And I'm excited about The Amazing Race returning tonight--yaaaay!

[Sharon]

hello everyone sorry not been around much and not likely to be for some time yet just thought I would pop in so you knew I was still alive and kicking :)

[Janet , Moderator]

Good to see you're ok, Sharon. Come back soon. :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Good to know Sharon

[sonya]

Went on a hard walk, for me--being a walker user.

[Groovy]

Just saw a PBS documentary on Westminster (I'm also a history buff) Very, very interesting: Like the 6'4" boxer they named Big Ben after--wow. And they showed the suffragette who jumped in front of one of the Royals racing horses and was killed so women could get the right to vote--**eyes wide**

It made me wonder how much different England would be today had King Edward not given up the throne to marry Wallace Simpson. But I'm just an American, what do I know...

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Sean, I hope you and your wife are getting better. I know it's hard and you have a ways to go before getting completely healthy again. (I'm on month two) But hang in there.

I recommend everyone to take a look.
A great place to find out what books Authors recommend. plus a good bibliography site. Have fun.

[Heather]

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend and I hope you are feeling a bit better Sean.

We drove to York and back from Manchester yesterday, which is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours each way depending on the traffic as my daughter started university. It was a difficult day as she is our youngest and somehow seemed too young to go out into the big wide world.

Although I was dreading the day, I was determined to be strong as I didn't want to upset her. However, I wasn't expecting her to burst into tears when we left her outside her halls of residence. It was awful - much harder than with my son as he's so much more confident and has no difficulty finding new friends. My daughter, on the other hand, is shy.

However, she seems to have hit it off with three other girls in her apartment already and we're waiting for her to ring us tonight with an update. From her texts she sounds much happier than when we left her yesterday so fingers crossed that she'll be OK. :)

[Amber]

Heather, it's just as hard for the student.

[Heather]

Amber wrote: "Heather, it's just as hard for the student."
I know, that's why we've been so worried about her. The girls in her apartment seemed really nice though so hopefully she'll be OK. :)

[Janet , Moderator]

Aahhh. I hope your daughter will be ok, Heather. Mine decided to commute to Uni. She's just not ready for the big wide world.
