Starting off the week with a cough, making myself undesirable around anyone. I'm grateful for the invention of cough drops with zinc. Because they cost so much and have a limit on the number to be used in a day, I feel they must work. I can pop the plain cherry candy type of drops non-stop; don't know what their effect is on a cough, but I do get a sugar high, LOL.
Dagmar - Love reading that you're sponsoring a girl in Tanzania. That's the one African country I've visited - just a lovely place. Good luck planning wise and sane use of your godmother's gift.
Megan (Megan1982) - Ouch for a month without your DBF - that's a noble list of activities for distraction. It's exhausting just to think of that lab you're tending.
alinnell - Thanks for the reminder of the salt in Red Lobster food. LOL at "TWO starches and NO vegetable?"
WaterRat - Thanks for "I have no desire to go back to work!" Considering that option, I've queried all my retired friends. Only two out of about a hundred expressed any desire to get back in the rat race.
Waving back to all.
