N. B.

     Leftover turducken + chicken stock + 1 potato + 1 package fresh mushrooms + frozen mixed vegetables = some genuinely superior poultry soup.  Just the thing for when you're recovering from $GAWRSHAWFUL_VIRUS.  Which we are, though Tam is still very congested and coughing.

     We did get to the gun show Sunday.  Came home with guns, one each.  Mine was a little .22.  Photos to follow!

     Also: Little Debbie Cloud Cakes?  Just as good as a Twinkie and essentially the same thing, about 3/4 scale.  Which is good, if you ask me, 'cos a whole Twinkie was a bit much.

  2. Recovering fine, not suffering other than sore muscles from coughing. Humidity is not a problem at this point in the heating season; sleeping warm and elevated already.

    Silver is contraindicated other than as a topical application and would do nothing against the virus. While it does have some antibacterial effect, there's a medical reason it was replaced by antibiotics: they have greater effectiveness and fewer side effects. Antibiotics don't stop virii, either and there's darned good reason to keep all such substances out of the loop unless absolutely necessary: otherwise, you breed resistant germs. The way in which every little special snowflake figures *they* are the magic exception is why there's a problem with hard-to-kill germs.

  3. Momma always said that when chicken soup was made somebody was sick - either a family member or the chicken. Exhaustive laboratory testing indicates that it is really the globules of fat floating on top that cures what ails you.
    Can anybody explain how a motza that thin can move with balls that big?

    stay safe.

  4. Years ago, after making the mistake of not bringing a jacket to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I spent a miserable cloudy day uncomfortably cold.

    The next day, I came down with the symptoms of the creeping crud, which I suffered for the next month and into the new year.

    After I explained to an old guard, while being checked before entering a project site, they suggested a raw mustard green leaf. They continued with instructions I had to eat the entire leaf, which they believed would relieve my symptoms.

    I thought:"What the heck. Nothing else has worked", so I gave it a try.

    The experience can only be described as a repulsive, pungent attack on my sinuses, which caused them to drain.

    The next day showed improvement and the symptoms disappeared within a week.

    I really don't know if the suggestion worked, but I still believe it did.

    Call it Voodoo medicine.
