I'm down with the flu, y'all, which sucks...but I discovered something useful in the process: chile-laced coffee (decaf, so you can still sleep) does wonders for a sore throat, or at least it sure did for the one I got from coughing. x PS--Let me please urge you sincerely: don't put off getting your flu shot this year like I did. This strain, whichever one it is, is genuinely nasty, and the season is starting early. x Rain @@@@ \\\\\
