  • A marina somewhere in the Chesapeake Bay area. 


    I’m not feeling very well today.  I think I caught a cold or maybe it’s just allergies, but my eyes are at half mast and my nose is running and it’s sore from all the wiping.  I probably should be in bed but didn’t want to be off sick so close to being off 9 days for vacation.  I may finish the “seeds” project and then give in and go home. I GOTTA be healthy for my trip to England.  One would hate to make the trip and then spend it in bed over there.

  • Do yourself a favor, buy some Altoid Mints.  The come in a tin at the candy counter.  Very little sugar in them, get the peppermint flavor.  They are the best thing I have ever found to help me out of being sick.  They have not worked 100 percent of the time but a darn close 98 %.  The second I feel a sore throat or anything coming on, I pop some mints.  You are getting this advise from someone who has spent years of being sick, all of the time until I found those mints.  Be well kiddo and take some of those mints on your trip.  They are made in England by the way but who knows if you would find them there.  The tins are red and white.  The peppermint, that one is the best to use.  Wintergreen is the next and in a green and white tin.  Much cheaper than medecines and no side affects.

  • I pop about 6 at a time in my mouth, they are pretty strong but I think they change the environment those bugs live in that plague us.  Also, if your stomach bothers you when using them, eat something.

  • Hi, where are you going in England? (Just curious because I’m from Manchester.)

  • I went on my vacation with a cold.  *growls*   Still have the wretched thing.  Think I’ll probably have it the rest of this pregnancy.   (8 more months to go)

  • :( sleep — get all the rest you can this week.  :sleepy: I hope your body cooperates and gets well. I don’t want you to be sick on your vacation either.  wink

  • I’d love to be sitting in one of those chairs in that picture–in the summertime–that is. 

    I hope you get over your cold/allergies before your trip.  Take care and get plenty of rest!
