And the word of the day is: SHRIVE!
The more you cough, the more you have to cough. It's insidious. My weapon of choice in controlling and eventually getting rid of it is Robitussin-D, or store brand equivalents (CVS's Tussin-D, etc.).
There are different varieties for different kinds of cough needs, but for me, "D" first and foremost gets the constant hacking under control, while making the coughs more productive so you get rid of crap. I follow dosage instructions, and the important thing is to keep it going until you're truly rid of the cough.
There are several puzzles on Lumosity.com that are interesting.
I am not much of a jigsaw puzzle fan, but I like most word puzzles....but not a crossword puzzle.

Have you ever tried using a neti pot? I love mine.
We will soon be leaving this beautiful place where everone remembers your name and what you like to eat and drink. I just hope my sore throat is from all the citrus fruit I've been eating and that I am not getting sick.
My apologies for ddropping out in the middle of page five last night. My WIFI died, and I was too tired to get up and go to the big conmputer.

Today in the mail, I received a box full of Frances Farmer items from someone who was cleaning out his file cabinets.
Last night we had company for dinner and then set off to hear a pipe organ recital, which turned out to be quite incredible. They had a good crowd, too.
The Twin Cities organist guild is second in size only to the NYC chapter and perhaps one other city.
Richard and I have been out to replenish Mother's Scotch...
Take me back to Manhatten...
I am trying to type with my new Dragon's stovepipe system. I don't know how well this will work, but it is worth a try.

You can come back and replenish MY Scotch any time, DR Ginny.

Just got back from shopping for this and that, and guess what was in the mailbox.
Go on, guess!
Bet you can't guess.

Hey! TCB learned vixmomspeak!

LOL! Stovetype system. He he! That is supposed to be self-typing.
The Vixter (who it turns out was on the extension) later explained to me that it was 10am
Just off the phone with Richard Sherman - he played the Sandy CD as soon as he got back in LA ("on the good speakers - loud") and I'm happy to say he absolutely loved the entire album. He was thrilled with Two Roads and how it came out, and was impressed by all the songs, the arrangements and orchestrations, and Sandy's vocals. His favorite song on the CD? Three Acts.

I play Bookworm a lot on my computer.
this morning I was wakened from a sound sleep by AARP wanting to do a survey I explained that calling people at the crack of dawn on a Saturday was unacceptable and that they must remove my number from their call list and never, ever, EVER call me again

Maybe this will give DR Kate a much-needed smile...

Spent the morning cleaning house and arranging for a cleaning woman to come in and do it right. That happens Monday.

I have never heard of drinking water for chronic pain or for coughs all I know is that if I had to drink a half ounce of water for every pound I weigh there would soon be a Vixmom induced drought on the Island of Long

Up every day at the crack of noon.

I hate when the WiFi dies.

I think anyone trying to type with a stovepipe should definitely NOT have his scotch replenished.

I can't wait to get my copy. I just think that it would've been nice if us Kickstarter supporters could've gotten our copies before it was made available for purchase by the general public.
Someone should tell Vixmom's AARP person, "Don't you know this is Vixmom, who works all the hours God sends and still does lots of good works for others and NEEDS HER SLEEP!"

(1) DR Jeanne believes in drinking lots of water. She currently lives in California.
(2) California is experiencing a severe drought.
Are the two related??

TOD - I started doing crossword puzzles when I retired, but have slacked off a bit. Every once in a while I'll set up a jigsaw puzzle - that was especially fun when we had our Japanese exchange students and a young Robbie and needed activities that weren't dependent on spoken language.

Having had several bouts with bronchitis, allergy-induced asthma, and pneumonia, I've been prescribed about every cough remedy in the book. I always fall back on Robitussin-D or its generic for the best results.
My late Uncle Billy created another favorite - dissolve a box or 2 of clear rock candy in a pint of rye whisky and sip slowly. It's not a quick fix, because the candy takes several days to dissolve. Mom used to make a batch at the beginning of cold and flu season, just to have on hand. Best place to find rock candy is Cracker Barrel gift shops.

My preferred cough remedy is to make a nice hot pot of tea, (take care to first warm the tea pot before brewing the tea) take a tea mug and warm it, then add a generous amount of honey, place on top 1 thick slice of lemon (remove the pips!)
Richard and I have been out to replenish Mother's Scotch, take out her trash, vacuum her carpet, and wash her dishes. Two of those 4 things should have been done for her by the housekeeping and maintenance staff, but she contends they haven't shown up. I think she either doesn't hear them or chooses to ignore them.
Take me back to Manhatten...

What do you do with Gladys Knight?
Cilla, thanks for mentioning Care Credit. I'd heard of them, but didn't know there was no interest for a year. I'll keep that in mind.
I need to take a shower then go to work for a moment. I just need to see if I have a meeting on a day that my friend Margo would like me to drive her to a medical procedure. After that, I'm going to meet Margo and her friend Marsha at the new Oyster House. None of us has been there since it's been rebuilt, but I've heard good things about it.
Mr. Smith goes to Amazon - and does a beautiful review, which is much appreciated. Check it out:

CitiBank's double back Visa gave me 15 months of 0 interest (2% back)

Then Margo and I shared a Kahlua chocolate cake for dessert. Yummy!
