My Kingdom For A Remedy...

Within the past 48 hours, I have been struck by the common cold. Kill me now. This leads me to wonder why a cure has not been found. People get colds all the time, and we still can't do jack about it. Go figure.
So, upon diagnosing myself with a sore throat, I began my search for a remedy. Here's what I came across...
How To Make A Simple Remedy For Sore Throat
Which didn't work for me at all.
Neither did gargling salt water.
Throat/Cough drops seem pretty useless too.
Oh, and drinking straight up lime/lemon juice is such an atrocious idea. I don't suggest it. Because if anything, it just made me want to vomit.

Here's the part where I throw together my own remedy, using what I've found most effective and easy to obtain.
  • Sleep
  • Mint tea with honey (amongst other warm beverages)
  • Avoid cold beverages
  • A 24 hour cold/allergy pill.
  • Tylenol (makes life a little more bearable and helps with any fever)
  • Tissues
  • Lots of people to complain to.
  • Chicken Noodle soup...
See, I tried other soups because I greatly dislike canned chicken noodle soup and I lack the stamina to make home made chicken noodle soup. I wound up trying Veggie Beef soup...Which was a mistake. Muy painful. But today I determined that if one is sick enough, canned chicken noodle soup tastes fine.

Moving on...
Strike Gently has a Creed discography up for grabs...
Cyanide and Happiness: 1610
Looking For Group: 239

And my most recent discovery: A Softer World

I do believe that's everything.
Happy April Fools... Go get shit faced.
