HELP GET RID OF A COLD.....


Cold season is upon us and some have said Jim looks tired, may be fighting a cold etc., looking at Jay Leno tells me he HAS a cold or something worse, watch out Jay, could turn into something worse.
I just read the book "It's not easy being Green" about Jim Henson (pretty good book, easy read) he got sick pretty quick too. So other than going to the Doctor as one should do if it continues for several days. But like most people(men especially) who don't like to go to the doctor but want to try something before they go..... Rememeber these are only suggestions...you have the right to choose...these are only Ideas!

1) Sleep when tired.
2) Put a wool sock around you're throat & drink lotsnlots a lemon & hot water(mixed togeter). LOTS!

please continue to #23.......any ideas

Really?! Wow, I like kiwi's I will definitely try that.

I can do this cool bit of magic where your signed dollar bill magically disspears and reappers INSIDE a kiwi, that was tied inside a bag and hung all the way across the room! It's really cool.

peaches with the fuzz remind me of kiwi,
If you wash off the fuzz or peal the peach, pretty good but just the outside of the peach would make me break out into hives.

I happen to be a big fan of vaporizors and Vicks/Menthalum rub. Moisture in the air helps a lot, believe it or not. And the rub stuff, well it stinks like the dickens but your sinus' get clear pretty fast, and you body feels better. :shock:
